Are there any community resources that list hard data on what each stat point actually does when you place it in a skill?

The manual states that "Intelligence is used for close combat skills" yet I see nothing that can show me the difference that any points into inteligence will make on combat skills, no graphs or tables that I can stare at endlessly to wiegh up my choices.

Restarters Anonymous seems to have a membership of about every Joe that purchased this game, mainly Iam surmising, due to this lack of hard data, which I expected in the manual, instead of the VERY general description they give to stats and skills there. Things like "The Valkyrie can cheat death" whilst sounding very sexy means nothing as there is not even a popup ingame for this skill that you can read as to what the hell it does.

Alot of RPG'ers are just hardcore number crunchers aiming for that "perfect" setup, and the lack of any of these numbers that I had hoped to see tells me that my membership to RA will be a long lived one without them....
