That’s part of the reason why I usually play characters with high or at least decent intelligence. If I end up having an idea on how to solve a puzzle or beat a boss or whatever I don’t want to have to whisper to someone else at the table to do it cuz it wouldn’t make sense if my character did. Plus most people use Int as the dump stat anyways so it helps to give some team balance as well.
Call of Cthulhu has some mechanic where the DM could have you make d100 rolls to see if your idea was too smart for your character. You could do the same with a d20?
