Intelligence House Rule, Perception and Logic Options

[Grey]

One thing that we did in a game I was playing in for Perception was really cool. Give this a shot:

Buy Intelligence as a normal stat. After points are purchased, double the points and split Intelligence into two different stats, Perception and Logic. You then allocate the points you have from Intelligence to these. Perception counts towards perception checks and Logic counts towards the number of knowledge skills you start with and it is the stat that is linked to Intelligence skills.

Example

Mr. Quick the street sam isn’t the sharpest of guys, but he has the eyes of a hawk. He buys 4 points of Intelligence and then splits that into a Perception of 6 and Logic of 2. When buying skills liked to Intelligence he uses his Logic stat of 2, but when making Perception checks, he has 6 dice to roll with.
