You're actually supposed to dump WIS and cha. INT is the primary stat that influences wonk powers like Think Tank Study and Chromatic Charts & Graphs

Baloogan posted:hey how do i min max a Wonk class char? A stat sheet reading something like this is going to give you flexibility in terms of cross-class training opportunities: STR 10 DEX 12 CON 14 INT 14 WIS 14 CHA 14 Huckster/Datamancer are CHA/INT classes respectively that add some fine talents - A Datamancer's ability to reroll failed Knowledge checks 3 times per day at level 2 and increasing instances of clairvoyance help them avoid many pitfalls if played well, and a Huckster's ability to use Perform (Public Speaking) in place of Formulate Policy can help if you are suffering temporary or permanent INT loss. Challenging a Huckster is also potentially devastating, as any failures made on Discern Policy rolls are added to the Huckster's success count, which can tip a minor campaigning inconvenience into a catastrophe. For the Wonk levels themselves, levels 1-4 are a bit of a slog, mainly just increasing Knowledges and some minor diplomacy/intimidation training, but at the fifth, your increasingly powerful Co-Ordinate Drone Strike (later Double-Tapping to force a reroll on passed reflex tests for half damage) makes you a useful asset to the party when your other strategising fails. The temptation is to lean on it heavily, but note it does incur an alignment shift towards Evil until at 9 you gain Reclassify Decorum and can select two class abilities to lean towards neutral (popular choices are CODS, Procure Finance, and Silence Opposition for Evil Wonks, while Good characters may sometimes choose Provide Mass Heal, Halt Mechanical Foe, or Mass Sanctuary if they fear alignment-based attacks). Overall the class makes a good support/secondary leader but if chosen as the main party face can run into problems with those obstinately opposed to their alignment, particularly those who consider falsely reported alignments to be tantamount to apostasy.

i really like this essay because mao starts with Yet Another Vanguardism Soliloquy and then about halfway through loses track of his argument and starts going "HEY CHINA, YA KNOW WHAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS?!? PEOPLE WHO TAKE THE CREDIT ON GROUP PROJECTS WHEN THEY DIDN'T DO ANY WORK, THAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS"
