INT 5

Eldric still couldn’t believe he had fallen victim to another wizard’s spell in battle. Luckily, the fighter in his party dispatched of the foe in short haste after that, but Eldric was dealing with the results of the curse that had turned him into a blonde bimbo.

The fact that the curse had made him female didn’t bother him in the slightest. He knew women in the realms were just as versed in every facet of skill as the men. It was the fact that the curse had also dropped his INT down to 5 that was giving him concern.

Intelligence was the most important skill for a wizard, and even things like remembering his own name were often a challenge. Reading was out of the question. And casting spells? Well, he tried, but remembering those big words right was even more difficult than remembering his own name. He hoped the rest of his party could find a way to break this curse!

Good for One Wish

Simon picked up the coin off the street. He had done the math before as a brilliant mathematician. It was technically not worth one’s time to do so, yet he did so anyway. As it turned out the coin wasn’t any sort of currency. Instead it was some sort of cheap alloy that said on it, “Good for one wish.”

Realizing it was even more worthless than he though, he sought to simply toss the coin, but it would not leave his hands. This was a curious development. With a bit of his inner fantasy nerd coming through, he thought maybe a wish was in order -- regardless of how silly that seemed.

He thought of wishing for a million dollars...or a billion dollars! He opened his mouth.

“I wish,” He said with a pause, but the next words out of his mouth were somehow completely out of his control, “That I was a hot dumb bimbo of a woman, who wanted nothing more than in life but to find a husband to please.”

Then the coin fell from his hand. He tried chasing after it, but it rolled around on the street before falling into the sewer grate. Simon looked down there. A part of him still realized he probably used to be smart enough to figure out a way to get it, but he was now much too focused on how gross sewers were.

And the coin would continue on its way. It might be some time before someone found it. And the next holder of the coin would be transformed into the billion dollars Simon wanted to wish for, but as Simon was transformed into the woman the previous coin holder had wanted.

Hard and stuff

Two months ago, Dr. Richard Tanner had been one of the top researchers at Harvard. That was before he invented a body swapping machine. He had used himself as one of the test subjects and swapped his brain into the body of a cocktail waitress. He was fascinated at first. The waitress asked to switch back, but Richard begged for just a day to study the effects. He awoke the next morning still eager to examine his work. But when he looked over the data from the night before, he had trouble with the equations. He thought that math was like really hard and stuff! He looked at the device, and even turning it on seemed beyond his mental capacity now! It was a sequence of wire plugging and flipping switches. He couldn’t believe anyone could ever remember the correct order, despite the fact that he knew he had done it the night before! It just seemed SO complicated now! But if he couldn’t figure it out, how would he ever switch back? He shrugged. Why concern himself with all this science junk when there was more important things in this world -- like getting his nails done and shoes! But that bitch would totally be back for her body tonight. He had to do something. So he made a break for it and set up a new life in a Nebraskan trailer park. Dr. Tanner was quite happy with his new life. He loved tossing drinks to drunks in the dive bar and showing off his assets for higher tips. It was totally the job he was completely qualified for!
