If there was ever an improvement to be made in balance, it would be in making it so there was some meaningful benefit to all characters from each score, and some meaningful drawback to having it low.That would really change.Moreover, this is something that was bad in 3e and before, and which 4e really flubbed. By letting you choose which ability score to use for saves (or their equivalents) and attacks, it makes it easier to dump scores.Conversely, the six saves we've heard about are an improvement.</blockquote>
