My main group of veterans consistently dumps INT in 5E. Few spells use INT to save, and whilst there are several INT-based skills, unless you actually have the skill and a high INT bonus, you're unlikely (and slightly implausible) to make those checks anyway. Typically one party member has a higher INT, so they do that stuff.INT is just pretty useless apart from those specific skills. You don't gain any extra skills/languages from it in 5E (unlike all other editions?). It has little/no value in combat (isn't a bonus to anything, rarely used as saves). So unless your class requires it... Our latest party has an INT 8 and an INT 9 character in it (point-buy so a lot of people don't have anything below 10). I'm the smartest guy in the party. At INT 11 (everyone else 10 I think). Hoo boy. We only have one STR 8 (a Sorcerer). WIS got dumped when we started 5E, but people learned... you roll that a lot. Tons of saves against really bad spells, Perception, Insight. It matters.</blockquote>
