In a run I've made, the summentioned star scientist goblinized into a troll,
and loose his academic position due to lack of ability to quickly correlate
and make deductions. This is how Int works for me. Knowledge is represented
by skills, right, but the ability to use those skills in new and revolutionary
ways is represented by the Int attribute.
