Will (Base Ability)
Details
Will determines your effectiveness with psi abilities and your chance to resist mental effects (Resolve). It also determines your character's overall determination to certain actions, such as persuading or intimidating NPCs in conversation to make them choose your side of the argument. Some psionic dialogue options also require your character to have a minimum score of pure will in order to succeed. No items require will to be used or equipped. Psi point regeneration scales with will and intelligence: psi regen = 5 + (will+int)/2
High will score is important for psionic characters.
