<p>Copy text from Player’s Handbook.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Intelligence is the [[:Category:Ability|ability]] that measures mental acuity, accuracy of recall, and the ability to reason. <br /> <br /> === Intelligence Checks ===<br /> An Intelligence check comes into play when you need to draw on logic, education, memory, or deductive reasoning. The [[Arcana]], [[History]], [[Investigation]], [[Nature]], and [[Religion]] skills reflect aptitude in certain kinds of Intelligence checks. <br /> <br /> '''[[Arcana]].''' Your Intelligence (Arcana) check measures your ability to recall lore about spells, magic items, eldritch symbols, magical traditions, the planes of existence, and the inhabitants of those planes. <br /> <br /> '''[[History]].''' Your Intelligence (History) check measures your ability to recall lore about historical events, legendary people, ancient kingdoms, past disputes, recent wars, and lost civilizations. <br /> <br /> '''[[Investigation]].''' When you look around for clues and make deductions based on those clues, you make an Intelligence (Investigation) check. You might deduce the location of a hidden object, discern from the appearance of a wound what kind of weapon dealt it, or determine the weakest point in a tunnel that could cause it to collapse. Poring through ancient scrolls in search of a hidden fragment of knowledge might also call for an Intelligence (Investigation) check. <br /> <br /> '''[[Nature]].''' Your Intelligence (Nature) check measures your ability to recall lore about terrain, plants and animals, the weather, and natural cycles. <br /> <br /> '''[[Religion]].''' Your Intelligence (Religion) check measures your ability to recall lore about deities, rites and prayers, religious hierarchies, holy symbols, and the practices of secret cults. <br /> <br /> '''Other Intelligence Checks.''' The DM might call for an Intelligence check when you try to accomplish tasks like the following: <br /> * Communicate with a creature without using words<br /> * Estimate the value of a precious item<br /> * Pull together a disguise to pass as a city guard<br /> * Forge a document<br /> * Recall lore about a craft or trade<br /> * Win a game of skill<br /> <br /> === Spellcasting Ability ===<br /> Wizards use Intelligence as their spellcasting ability, which helps determine the saving throw DCs of spells they cast. <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> Sources: <br /> * [[Player’s Handbook]], pp. 177-178<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ability]]</div>
