[[File:Intelligence Score Icon.png|frameless|left|150px]] '''Intelligence''' is an [[ability score]] and the primary ability of [[wizard]]s.
Intelligence affects your [[Arcana]], [[History]], [[Investigation]], [[Nature]], and [[Religion]] skills and improves spellcasting for [[Wizard|Wizards]], [[Eldritch Knight|Eldritch Knights]] and [[Arcane Trickster|Arcane Tricksters]] (better chance to hit enemies with [[Spell]] [[Attack Roll]]s; increases the [[Difficulty Class]] of spells with [[Saving Throw]]s).
 
Intelligence affects your [[Arcana]], [[History]], [[Investigation]], [[Nature]], and [[Religion]] skills. It also improves spellcasting for wizards, [[fighter]]s (especially valuable for [[Eldritch Knight|Eldritch Knights]]), and [[rogues]] (especially valuable for [[Arcane Trickster|Arcane Tricksters]]), by increasing the chance of hitting an enemy with spell attack rolls, due to the increased [[Difficulty Class]] of spells with [[saving throw]]s.
