Can you cite Maxwell’s Equations? Calculate the trajectory of a nuclear missile? Hack? Aim a rifle and figure out how to get the safety off? Write something in iambic pentameter? Do you simply see things differently than the automatons that surround you? If all of the above apply, you’ve got a high Intelligence Statistic. Like Power, a high Intelligence also helps you defeat opponents in Combat (only less so) and it helps you negotiate a host of minor game effects. Like each of the three main Statistics, Intelligence also contributes to your Base Votes, which determine how well you’ll do if you run against HappyCOM-9 in an Election. A low Intelligence renders you susceptible to some nasty game effects, but you can wander around with a zero Intelligence and still basically function. Intelligence builds slowly, but has the advantage of being more stable than the other Statistics. An Intelligence of 500 is about average human Intelligence.
