help skill alertness

Affected stat is \"In\" as in Intelligence?

With Alertness at 100%, I notice I still get ambushed 5/10 which makes me
wonder if this skill even works but if Int is a dominating stat...

A suggestion: How about modifying skill Alertness by adding an affecting stat
actually used in the Barbarian guild insted of something as useless as Int?
This does not imply that Int needs to be taken out of the equation but it
would be nice to add a stat Barbarians regard as worthwhile. Dex would be a
logical choice as would Strength. If you had a high enough dex you could elude
an ambush or high enough strength you can break free of an ambush.

As a side note, help skill ambush, I don’t know if this is related to the
ambush that monsters do, but you will notice that Dex and Str are both
affecting stats.

Make barbaric ways affect alertness for barbs, if it doesn't already.
