Intelligence (or INT) is one of a character's three main attributes, along with strength and dexterity. Characters who plan on using any of the various schools of magic will benefit greatly from having a high intelligence score.
Intelligence affects the following:
- Reduces chance of spell failure.
- Increases spell power.
If your intelligence is ever reduced to 0 or lower, you will suffer stat zero effects.
Useful Info
In general, the power boost is more impactful than the spell failure boost:
- Spell failure: Intelligence reduces failure. This is done at a rate of 6 intelligence : 1 skill in every spell school except Spellcasting.
- Spell power: Before modifiers, intelligence is a
INT / 10multiplier, so 20 intelligence is up to twice as much power as 10 intelligence. However, there is a logarithmic stepdown if power > 50, so going from 10 to 20 is usually less than twice the power in practice.
History
- Prior to 0.26, Intelligence reduced spell hunger per casting by
INT × Spellcasting.
