Does every point of intelligence matter?
 

Or is it just every 7 and 15, like it says in the description?

I'm asking because I read a post in which someone claimed that every point of intelligence matters, increasing something or other? I am thinking of whether to equip several early game artifacts that add mana or defense but decrease your intelligence.

well unless you're mage and not trying to ressurect everything as a paladin you can decrease your intelligence at the start of the game. Every point matters (there is a topic about it) and decreasing intelligence even as a warrior is not cool thing but at the start for some defense bonuses why not.

So what does each point contribute to exactly? Clearly not spell duration. Spell power?

spell power and I'm not sure if some spells get duration bonus at 30int

+10% to damage dealt by spells per point in Intelligence.

10% more damage?! Screw those artifacts that decrease intelligence then (playing as mage). Thanks, that's what I needed to know.

its not 10% damage per point, the Seventh(7,14,21,28....) point adds +10%damage
every other point increases only by a bit, dont know exactly

Eh, no, it's 10% per point and every seventh adds additional +15%. English release is riddled with translation errors and this is one of them.

oh, thanks to know then :)

This is priceless info, before I used to scoff at Intelligence, but no more! :cool:
