Intelligence

Intelligence is one of the six basic stats of DDO.

==Intelligence (INT)==

Intelligence determines how well your character learns and reasons. This ability is important for wizards because it affects how many spell points they have, how hard their spells are to resist, and how powerful their spells can be. It’s also important for any character who wants to have a wide assortment of skills.

You apply your character’s Intelligence modifier to:
 * Disable Device, Repair and Search skill checks. These are the skills that have Intelligence as their key ability.


 * The amount of bonus spell points you gain as a wizard.

At first level (character creation) the number of skill points given is equal to (Class modifier + Intelligence modifier) * 4. At each further level gained in a class, a character receives a number of skill points equal to Class modifier + Intelligence modifier (with a minimum of 1 skill point).
 * The number of skill points gained each level.

Skill Point Class Modifier
The class modifiers are as follows:
 * 2 for Cleric, Favored Soul, Fighter, Paladin, Sorcerer and Wizard;
 * 4 for Barbarian and Monk;
 * 6 for Bard and Ranger,
 * 8 for Rogue.

Note: Even if your Character starts with 6 Intelligence (Half-Orc), and your Character class gets 2 base skill points per level, however your Character will get 1 skill point each level.
