Message: <blockquote data-quote="smootrk" data-source="post: 2635704" data-attributes="member: 28583">I like to think of the movie "Phenomon (spellling?)".  Travolta's character gained INT, and was able to assemble old information differently (the rabbit in the garden) and was able to acquire and mesh new material much more quickly (why his new information seemed to focus on aspects of his farming lifestyle, or his network of friends (portugese)).Again, this illustrates why I would retroactively grant skill points, but I (the DM) would allocate those 'new' skill points into skills that the character already had or into appropriate related skills (give Craft Woodworking to a character with Profession Lumberjack, or similar situations).If faced with permanent loss of INT, I would simply remove skill points across all the skills that the character had to lessen any significant impact on any one skill.  It wouldn't make sense for a character to all of a sudden become absolutely worthless at doing 1 skill because that was the last batch of new skills gained.</blockquote>
