Same for CHA, if you don't intend on taking social skills (although it is 4 skills not three) no use to some classes. And Wisdom if you don't want those four skills tied to it. So if you take out the Defences bonus (which is tied to 2 abilities) and class power & skills (which applies only to the class NOT all characters) reasons for choosing an ability only the three physical skills are useful to everyone:
STR: basic melee/heavy thrown attack and damage. carrying capacity.
CON: Hit points. Healing Surges.
DEX: Basic ranged/light thrown attack (and damage? don't have the books). Initiative.
INT: zip
WIS: nada
CHA: zilch
For this reason I would be happy to dump 2 of the three mental abilities; you need one of CHA/WIS high for Will defence.
