    Default Re: [4E] Simple fix for Int's tendency to be a dump stat?

    I think my main focus is the preservation of an intrinsic bonus to skills for having better-than-average Int. (I suppose the title's a bit misleading.) It's intended more as a practical necessity of having high intelligence rather than a way to encourage/discourage stat dumps. I guess I just really like skillful characters
