Yes. This isn't rules faithful to D&D 3.5e but timing Int increases for a build is just annoying bookkeeping that doesn't add to the game. Pathfinder fixed this, IIRC.
Sorry about that, got lost in the mix. I wasn't aware either of these were considered "2nd-party". Unless you can show me otherwise I'm going with no. As I recall we only got 2nd-party Dragonlance and Kalamar stuff.
