Intelligence Spellcasters and Feats (3.5)

[ArtAndor]

Hello. I have started playing in a campaign recently and I am playing a factotum/wizard, which is currently at level 2. I am very content with it, but I was wondering if there were other spellcasting classes or variations of thereof that used Intelligence as primary modifier? (I am aware of Artificer, Duskblade and Psion)

On another and similar note: I was also wondering if there were any interesting feats that used Intelligence. Somehting like "Force of Personality" that makes lets you use CHA mod instead of WIS for will saves.

Only WoTC 3.5 published content and supplements, please.

Thanks in advance!

-Insightful Reflexes (CAdv), Int-to-Reflex
-Archivist (HoH) Divine Wizard that can cast druid/ranger/paladin spells if he finds the right scrolls
-Faerie Mysteries Initiate (Dragon Mag.) Int-to-HP, though requires somebody else with the feat and some... unsettling stuff
-Erudite (CPsi, maybe?) Psion that knows a ton of powers, but can only manifest so many unique ones/day
-Truenamer (ToM) You're kidding, right?

Both the Wu Jen and Beguiler are casting classes that use INT as the casting stat.

While it's technically an ACF spontaneous divination trades out a feat for the ability to cast any divination spell you know from a slot of the appropriate level. This is quite useful to wizards because it means you no longer need prepare any divination. Also depending on table it giving you the ability to cast spells spontaneously qualifies you for versatile spellcaster which is a feat that allows you to sacrifice two slots of the same level to cast any spell you know one level higher than that of the slots sacrificed.

Also take a one level dip into mindbender to qualify for mindsight which is generally considered one of the best if not the best sensory options in the game. You also don't even drop any casting for it if memory serves.

In Oriental Adventures there is a level 1 feat where if you were A) Human and B) from a certain region / clan you could do two things.

1) You may use your Intelligence modifier instead of your Wisdom modifier when making Heal, Sense Motive, Spot, or Survival checks. (These skills use Wisdom Modifier as a bonus to the skill check naturally and now they will use the Intelligence Modifier)

2) You may also use your Intelligence modifier instead of Wisdom when making a Will saving throw.

Effectively this is a similar thing to FR's regional feats but Oriental Adventures is a different setting than FR.

You may be interested in the X Stat To Y Bonus (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?125732-3-x-X-stat-to-Y-bonus) thread.

Also, Warmage is (almost) worth a mention: it casts from Charisma, but gets Intelligence as a bonus to spell damage.

This seems to be from a list of some sort. Do you have a similar one with Wis/Charisma?
