[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6293977, member: 6689464"] It was based on the fact the wizard class has a de facto 4 skill points per level just because it needs Int to work. I'm not expecting every single wizard to have Int 20 at first level, but we can expect them to start with a 14-15 just to work. (Because if you want to play a dumb spellcaster, let me introduce you to the sorcerer). Also normally I don't advocate for expecting the optimal or system mastered level of stats, but the class just attracts system masters (again if you are casual let me show you the sorcerer, the wizard class is just too complex for a casual player, just limiting it to be inline with the other classes when used with a moderate array sounds reasonable). Even on a worst case scenario when the wizard has an int 10 or less, it defaults to the minimum of 1 skill rank (needed for spellcraft), and in that case you have more to worry about than lacking customization options, like being actually capable of casting any spell.
