Honestly in the campaign I've been playing in I've gotten kind of tired of the whole "the PCs are idiots" schtick
Do you feel that the PCs actually pretty smart, but the DM is still making jokes like they aren't? Or is it some of the PCs are using "oh I'm dumb" as an excuse to derail gameplay and ruin ingame plans?
