===== INTELLIGENCE (INT) =====
Intelligence determines how well your character learns and reasons. This ability is
important for wizards, psions, and psywarriors because it affects how many
spells/powers they can cast, how hard their spells/powers are to resist, and how
powerful their spells/powers can be.

**Intelligence can be divided into:**

**Knowledge -** This is a measurement of the character's educational experiences-whether
in a school or  on the streets, his grasp of languages, and his memory capacity. A
character with a high Knowledge can speak many languages, knows something about 
several subjects, and can remember the slightest detail of a past event.

**Reason -** This defines how well a character handles new information. A character with
a high Reason would be good at solving riddles and puzzles, and would be talented at
using deductive, logical thinking.

**You apply your character's Intelligence modifier to:**

* The number of languages your character knows at the start of the game.\\
* You add your intelligence bonus to Academics, Healing, and Spellcraft skills.\\
* INT is very important for wizards, psions, and psywarriors, as the more powerful spells/powers require a minimum to even learn and use.\\
* Mages get bonus spells based on their Intelligence stat.\\
* Psions and psywarriors gain extra power points based on their Intelligence stat.\\

An animal has an Intelligence score of 1 or 2.\\ 
A creature of humanlike intelligence has a score of at least 3.

==== Stat Scores ====

**4-5: Moronic -** Your vocabulary is often limited to a few words and lots of grunts.
Things such as sentences are just beyond you.

**6-7: Dim -** You tend to speak in very simple words, like that of a 4 to 6 year old
child. Puzzles and riddles often leave you confused. New information thrown at you
sometimes leaves you feeling disoriented or confused.

**8-9: Below Average -** You can manage to fumble your way in a conversation, though you
stick to simple words. Puzzles and riddles throw you off, often taking a few days to
figure out some of the moderate ones, and the harder ones often months or years. You
come across as being "unschooled", never really having any formal training.

**10-11: Average -** The "standard" intelligence of an adult male and female

**12-13: Above Average -** You are able to pick up on things easier than the normal
individual. Learning a new language or bits of history tends to be somewhat easier
for you. Your vocabulary might have a few fancier words thrown in like, opulent or
plethora.

**14-15: Smart -** Others call you smart. Learning a new language or bits of history and
lore is rather easy for you. You're able to carry on a conversation with more
scholarly folk with some ease. There are a few subject matters where you are able to
recite events from without any hesitation. (example Ancient History of the Tsvaren
Empire, Religon, A History of Art, or even Magical Theory)

**16-17: Brilliant -** Your brilliance leaves others often astounded or jealous. You are
able to pick up on new languages with ease and could be considered a master in many
fields of knowledge (such as those mentioned above or plant lore, demon lore, undead
lore, a history of warfare).

**18-19: Genius -** You are a true genius. You can solve complex riddles and puzzles in
your free time for fun. You have a wide range of subjects that you can recite
detailed information about. Some might consider you a sage in a few fields, and seek
you out for  your brilliance.

**20+: Legendary Intelligence -** Your intelligence is the stuff legends are made of.
People are left in awe at (or perhaps even a bit spooked) just how smart you are.
