{{AbilityScores}}

=== Description ===
'''Intelligence:''' This is the ability to learn and apply knowledge. Intelligence is the Prime Requisite for [[Magic-User|Magic-Users]]. The ability bonus for Intelligence is added to the number of [[languages]] the character is able to learn to read and write; if the character has an Intelligence penalty, he or she cannot read more than a word or two, and will only know his or her native language.
=== Notes ===

* Higher intelligence gives you more resistance against certain Charms and Illusions:
** [[Spell:Charm Person|Charmed]] Targets with 13+ Intelligence save every day, those with 9-12 save every week and those with less than 9 save every month.
** Your Intelligence bonus is always added or subtracted from your rolls to [[Save vs Spells]] against illusions.
* 15+ intelligence allows you to find secret doors on a 1 or 2 instead of a 1 out of 6. This stacks with the [[Elf]] bonus to find secret doors.
* To prepare a spell from memory when she's lost her spellbook, a [[Magic-User]] must succeed on an Intelligence [[Ability Rolls|Ability Roll]]. A roll is never required to prepare [[Read Magic]] 
* The chance to create a magic item is 15% + 5%(Level+Spellcasting Score) - so a 9th level arcane spellcaster with 15 Intelligence has a base chance of 75% to create a magic item.
