[QUOTE="Mr. Kaze, post: 1775254, member: 8848"] Average physical health is good enough for me. More constitution would be nice, but I'm below average on CON as is so I'd probably be doing fine with getting moved up to average. Besides, who really wants a high CON? Think about how much more it will cost you to get drunk, folks! ;) Charisma is tempting, but I'd hate to be all style and bluster with no added substance to back me up. I don't think that otherwise average people with CHA 18 have many really close friends -- at least not of the variety that they can still use their CHA 18 on/with. Maybe you wouldn't need to if you were a big-time singer or actor -- just milk the CHA for more money than I'll ever see and be happy at that. I don't know. I wouldn't bet on it. I've already got a goodly degree of INT. Not enough to get free languages at first level unless you're counting SQL and C# and such for that. But while being able to pick up on arcane technical details with extreme rapidity has provided me with a career, it doesn't change the fact that I both got my BFA in the wrong thing and then chose the wrong career and am now having a bit of difficulty moving around in it. Straight INT lasted me until I was 24. No, I think the thing that I'd really like would have to be the 18 WIS. INT is good for learning, but WIS is percieving and if you're reviewing somebody else's work -- even if you're only average at it yourself -- being able to notice the minutae of what they've screwed up is very important. Sense Motive is a critical skill to not be scoffed at in today's corporate environment. Autohypnosis would also be a nice skill to have as I'm not a naturally serene person, and Survival kind of sums it up right there, doesn't it? Yeah, I'd have to say that WIS would be the stat I'd want at 18. It may not be worth the most money, but it makes life the most liveable. ::Kaze (is thinking of 2Nu's [i]Mistakes[/i]... "I think I've made more wrong decisions in my life than right ones. I've been very selfish and I've hurt a lot of really nice people because of it.
