Intelligence (INT) is an attribute of heroes, creatures, and followers.
Effects[]
- Spellcasting – A minimum of 11 intelligence is required to learn spellcasting. Intelligence can be trained to 12 at the Library in Valmorgen.
- Attack resolution of spells
- Intelligence increases the chance for offensive spells to penetrate an enemy's Magic Resistance (MGR).
- The following rules apply:
- Attack Factor = Random(1 to 100) + (Spell Level x 5) + INT
- Defense Factor = 20 + MGR
- The spell successfully hits if the "Attack Factor" is greater than the "Defense Factor"
- The INT-based factor applies only to spells cast directly by the user. It does not apply to spells cast by charged combat items and artifacts, which do not benefit from INT.
- Spell damage – Intelligence increases the magic damage done by offensive spells cast directly by the user.
- The damage bonus from intelligence is INT/4, truncated down to the nearest integer. Therefore, spell damage increases by 1 for every 4 points in INT.
- Damage done by spell = base spell damage + INT/4 - (Armor enchantment value of opponent)
- The INT-based factor applies only to spells cast directly by the user. It does not apply to spells cast by charged combat items and artifacts, which do not benefit from INT.
- Craftsmanship – Intelligence is used with the craftsmanship ability when attempting to craft or embed items using schematics:
- A crafting attempt is successful if:
- Craftsmanship + (Intelligence / 2) - Random(1,20) > (Difficulty x 5) + 20
- A crafting attempt is successful if:
