Not Sessile though. Can be moved quite easily.

Hm, I guess Quadriplegic comes much closer. Though that would still let the skeleton loll his head about and chat or sing (like some bony Billy Bass). I guess we need something above Quadriplegic, plus Mute, and...

(I think there actually was a jokey "Dead" disadvantage in some old Pyramid, some crazy -200 points or so, though I could be mixing sources or even systems in my head.)

Math is a Hard not Very Hard skill, so IQ+2 is 12, I think.

I don't think most historical computers were unusually intelligent.
From Wikipedia's page: "Airy's computers, hired after 1835, could be as young as fifteen and they were working on a backlog of astronomical data."

You'd hire computers for Single-Minded if you could get them, or Attentive if not.

Actually that was not the original meaning. The original meaning was "Boer war party".
