Intelligence is a fairly important stat in any Dungeons & Dragons game. Even if you're not playing as a class that uses it as a main stat, it's a great stat to have just for conversations. It might unlock entirely new strategies, or present you with options that you previously wouldn't have had. If you want to increase your Intelligence stat, then you're in the right place.
