Based on Per, +20% is also a valid build for a high Per/low IQ character (for example, most animals). A stereotypical savage might have IQ 6 [-80], Per 14 [40], and Will 14 [40], so such a character would likely have advantages like Empathy and Danger Sense with Based of Per, +20%. A mentally challenged character though, with low Per and low Will as well as low IQ, would be better off with Reliable +10, +50%, which would make them a classic idiot savant.
