I never have seen anybody got frustrated because he put a 20 in his primary stat.If you put your twelves wisely into the other stats you normally will be fine. Humans can pull off the 20 trick pretty easily because they get +1 to Ref/Fort/Will which usually makes their defenses as good as any other races with an 18 in a primary.However, if you put a 20 in your primary, Toughness seems to be mandatory.If you really can't afford a 20, try to get an 18.16 is the absolute lower limit. With a 20 you can come into ranges where you almost certainly hit (e.g. Human Fighter with +3 proficiency weapon, +2 combat advantage, +2 bonus from a leader: +16 to hit). So you only miss on a 1 for AC 17 (pretty common). With Str 16 and a +2 you miss on a 1-3 or three times more. If you aim for AC 15-16 or an AC of 18-20 or a 17 without leader bonus, he still misses twice as often.</blockquote>
