[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 15664, member: 1656"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Do Intelligence items effect skill points[/b] What about a wizard's bonus spells per day? If his Headband of Intellect lets him prepare an extra third level spell in the morning, and he takes the Headband off in the afternoon, can he still cast that spell? My ruling would be no - that any bonus spells due to a potentially removable item need to be designated as such, and if the item is removed, the bonus spells are lost from memory. They could be re-prepared if the item is returned, however. On the other hand, if a wizard is hit by a [i]Feeblemind[/i] spell, I would not wipe his bonus spells (though he can't cast them with an Int of 1), nor would I remove any skills. The wizard's base Intelligence, plus any racial bonus, inherent bonus, or level-up additions, are intrinsic to the character, and abilities associated with that Intelligence have a somewhat tighter attachment to the character. The abilities granted due to a clip-on, in my opinion, are somewhat more loosely bound to the person. This is all instinctive response on my part, and should not be taken as a statement of fact. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
