I have never played an Int based character but know many friend that
do as well as the fact that Wis based PC's share the same game play
as Int PS's do. It is better to have Int or Wis gear until you
break the 200 mark. if im correct the calculation for 200 and below
is (INT or WIS / 5) + 2 after 200 it is 5 mana for every 1 point of
wis or int after 200. You do the math. Here is a mana calculator
http://www.graffe.com/spells/manaequasion.htm
play with it and see... there are plenty of robes for int caster
for a very low price. I have 2 for sale right now for around 100pp.
