    In the FAQ it says having Anatomy+Evaluating Intelligence skills provide you defensive wrestling ability.
    Do you also need to have the Wrestling skill for that feature to work and also does the intelligence attribute affect the defensive wrestling effectiveness any way?

    Thank you for all the feedback.

    Defensive wrestling (anat+eval/2) works only to evade blows from your opponents weapons whereas wrestling will allow you a fair chance to stick your opponent in the eye with a punch. One is not required to use the other. If all you wish to do is evade then either works fine and intelligence does not factor into the calculations.

    And welcome to the shard!

    Do wrestling and defensive wrestling stack?

    This might explain why Jupiter is so lucky at the "circle rock" challenge....

    They do not, Defensive wrestling only comes into play if you lack the wrestling skill.

    I would steer away from Wrestling unless you need it for stun.

    Wrestle is great if you aren't a dexer with eval/anat or a tank mage.
