Message: <blockquote data-quote="WalterKovacs" data-source="post: 5560318" data-attributes="member: 63763">The escaped slave is dependent on having a good bluff, considering it's main power is dependent on it. The alchemist is skill dependent (only their initial alchemy item doesn't require the appropriate skill in order to make it) Seer likes Perception, and Insight, to the point where Wisdom is a good idea for it. You still get the bonus to defenses, you have some knowledge skills that are wisdom dependent, etc ... you lose the damage buff (or it's weaker), but everything else for the class (save for the decoding check using Arcana, but there are other ways to boost that if necessary). Then again, playing a themed character as a scholar with Int dump stated would seem a bit odd. The monk wouldn't fit well, but a cleric, especially one that may lean towards scholarly pursuits is probably a laser cleric with rituals, and might give himself a decent Int modifier in order to have Religion as a useful skill in rituals, increase his Reflex (since he can always battlewise for init) and boost his theme, etc. The laser cleric isn't very dependent on secondary stats (sure, charisma is a bit more important since surgeless healing doesn't get wisdom anymore, they can steal some Con based stuff from the warpriest, but otherwise, int is as good as anything else to put some points into, considering their theme.</blockquote>
