Forum:Intelligience SPECIAL question (Answered)

The higher your intelligence the more stats you can distribute when you level up. How many more points do you get per level of Intelligence? Is there a point of diminishing returns here? I want to earn stats as fast as possible, but don't want to waste SPECIAL points if I don't have to.

'''Nevermind my bad. I found the answer by digging further:''' I looked several times but it took posting my question to be able to find the answer I guess...

''The number of skill points gained each level is based on the formula 10 + (0.5 * INT) per level, including level 1, where INT is your Intelligence. If you get a non-whole number of skill points per level (e.g. 10.5 for INT 1) it will be saved for the next even level up.''

''In New Vegas, the number of innate skill points remains the same at 10, but the Intelligence bonus is now halved. If Intelligence is set to an odd number, the half points will be stored and added to every other level; i.e. an Intelligence of 9 would result in skill point allowances of 14 and 15 every other level.''
