What is the Intelligence Attribute?

In-Game Description

Affects Physical Stats

The Intelligence attribute will determine how smart V is going to be. Having high Intelligence will improve actions that require greater mental abilities like hacking. An attribute every netrunner needs!

Allows you to Pass Skill Checks

Some conversations will provide extra dialogue options if you pass the skill check required. This will open up new possibilities when interacting with characters or the environment as long as your stat is high enough.
