[QUOTE="Henry, post: 97395, member: 158"] So far, I haven't seen a problem with it (possibly because my INT is high to begin with), but the skill points are not a problem for a wizard. For one thing, as long as he has 4 skill points, he can get Concentration, Know(Arcana), Spellcraft, and Scry, and that's the basics he needs as an effective wizard.

However, I STILL wouldn't try this with an INT of less than 14, because you then run into SERIOUS problems with losing levels of spells for two or three class levels at a time.
