It also was the source of some dissatisfaction with that game, because the wizards tended to have the best weapon skill bonuses too. INT and POW made you a better fighter as well as a better sorcerer...
Considering it was only 1% bonus per point over 12, and odds were any
INT and POW bonuses were offset by 1% penalties for low STR and DEX
(unless the characters were quite special - which fit well with the premise
of the saga/game), by the time you had sorcerers with high enough INT
and POW to make a difference, you most likely had warriors with very
high combat skills that made the stat bonuses fairly irrelevant.
