So we all know that the chameleon has an ability boon ability. However! If I were to do an ability boon for my INTL what does that effect? Skills? Spells? Sorry for the really stupid question but english is not my forte.

Merci!

It does not affect skill points. Skill points only come from your permanent Int score. However, it will affect the Int modifier that gets applied to Int based skill checks (ie Knowledge, Spellcraft, etc...).

It will affect spells per day and the DC for spells if you are using your Arcane Focus.

If you have any feats that let you use your Int mod for other things, your new Int mod will apply.

Basically anything that your Int mod would normally get applied to except gaining skill points at a new level.

You don't retroactively add points to you skill points nor do you substract them. The added Int affects checks that has Int modifier as part of the equations such as knowledge checks and caster lvl checks (for wiz)

Caster level checks have nothing to do with your Int.

I'm pretty sure vorpo meant DC's. They would be boosted. ^_^
