It's not the optimal choice, but it works rather well. It is, I think, expected for characters whose racial modifiers and class primary ability don't synergise well (like, say, dwarf fighters).I think going for an 18 in such cases (barring certain builds that can take it) is worse than settling for a 16 in primary attribute and distributing the rest among other abilities so as to have well-rounded defences. I played a dwarf wizard with a starting Int of 16 for five levels (I'd have played him longer, but I moved away from my home town and haven't had the opportunity to play since), and while it is true that he missed more times than he hit, even a 20 Int wouldn't have helped him, since it was more due to my terribly low die rolls. Regards.</blockquote>
