Default Re: Innate Attack Perk

There's the Psychic Guidance perk (Thaumatology: Magical Styles p. 29) for spells. It goes one better and lets you attack with spell skill instead of innate attack. So I wouldn't think the Attribute Substitution is all that out of bounds.

If you keep it for NPCs or very closely restricted circumstances (after a quest searching for the dragon sage of whatnot etc.), I wouldn't worry about it. It shouldn't be first choice for everybody and their sister, though.

One of the problems with moving stuff to PER is, of course, the fact that it is very cheap and a part of IQ. If you make it its own attribute and maybe increase the price, it won't be such a problem. Power-Ups 9: Alternate Attributes is really helpful for things like that.
