Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General Warrior Skill point question

Thanks for the replies, no further help is needed.

Putting points into Intelligence for a Warrior doesn't do a lot. The extra Mana can be useful, but later on you could find good enough equipment to bring your max mana high enough that you'd need a lot of time to go through it all.

Basically, the main reason to put points in Intelligence in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> (even for a Mage) is to give you more mana early in the game, as later on you can get FAR more mana from nice magic weapons/armor, and by putting quality Charms in your equipment. Note that putting Charms in your equipment requires the skill from the Warrior screen AND having equipment that says it has Charm Quality.

This will vary a bit, especially near the start of the game when you need to meet various equipment requirements, etc, but on average over the course of the game, people playing warriors put about 2 stat points into strength per level, 2 into agility and 1 into constitution (completely neglecting intelligence).
Like Doomreaver said, warriors should easily be able to rely on equipment bonuses (and maybe an occasional potion) for what mana they require.

Once you switch to restoration potions for healing (primarily), you will also get your mana boosted whenever you drink one.
