lost INT and affect on skill points

[Mystendanian]

When a character permanently loses points of INT (say from a curse, god's wrath, magic, whatever) do they lose skill points if their INT mod drops?

Say, a 1st lvl cleric (skill = 2+INT mod x 4) with an INT of 16 (+3 mod) loses 2 points of INT. Would their skill points drop from 20 to 16?

If so, how do you determine what skills are lost?

Thanks,

Myst

No, their skill points are not changed- in either direction. Changes in a character's Intelligence score never create retroactive changes in a character's skill points.

Yeah, the intelligence bonus only represents the speed at which you learn.
What you learn is permanent.

Loss of intelligence does not cause any loss of learned skills.
