Default Re: Upsetting the WIZARD applecart,... maybe?

From a worldbuilding perspective I think it makes better sense for all of magic to be based on IQ. That is how you learn magic, impose your will on the world, etc.

From a game design perspective powering spells by STR and rolling vs DEX to successfully cast them eans wizards have reasons to spend points on all three attributes with no "safe" dump stat.

For one shots and arena games warriors can probably get away with using IQ as a dump stat. Indeed that is sort of how Melee works, just assume all figures have the default base IQ.

I do find it odd in both TFT and T&T that a wizard may be built like Conan.
