Thief/intellegence

Intimadater · 12-27-2002, 10:05 AM

What does a thief use intellegence for, and about where should it be around?

Nowhere. Except if an Mind Flayer drains it, so it should be 6 at least.
Determine it on roleplaying base - if you are a cunning assassin, you cannot be dumb as a mule. I'd set it about 12-13.

I was wonderring because the minimum I could set it at was around 10 somewhere, so I figured it had to be for something.

That's propably a racerelated limit, some races (like elves) are just naturally smart.

Well, after my elven swashbuckler has......

STR: 18
DEX: 19
CON: 17
CHR: 18

I shunt the rest into Intelligence. It's just me. I prefer to be intelligent, because it means you can use scrolls and the like. If you have a low intelligence you can't use "Protection from Magic" and stuff like that.

Oh, I didn't realize that and he is an elf so that explains it.
