I don't know where it came from, but I do think I can see some sense to 
it. A higher INT will be able to process tactical situations and 
anticipate opportunities. It seems to me that giving a SR bonus to high 
INT is a decent way to model this. I would have to see MRQ in its 
entirety (which I haven't yet), but I think I prefer the mechanism of 
declaring statement of intent in ascending order of INT, as it allows a 
more distinct reflection of the benefits of high INT, independent of 
the benefits or drawbacks of high or low DEX.
