Does every point of intelligence matter?

[Metathron]

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?

[kadrzys]

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.

[Metathron]

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.

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