[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 4933361, member: 5889"] I'm a big fan of 4e allowing you to draw from one of two stats when adding to your defenses (instead of just 1 in 3e). However, I do find it gives a lot of incentive to ignore your other stat. Furthermore, there is a lot of talk about how PC defenses don't scale up as well as monster attacks as levels go up. So the idea: Players add Str and Con to FORT DEX and INT to REF WIS and CHA to WILL Now I've seen this idea tossed around before, and I was generally dismissive. But lately I've been thinking about it again, and I think it could have some decent benefit. Just for fun I checked my CB for my 11th level characters to see what change teh effect would have. Interestingly enough, I generally gained a +1 to one defense overall (+2 to one defense, -1 to another, +0 to the third). This gives a small bump to defenses at high level, increases the utility in creating a person with "balanced" stats, and allows a person to specialize more in a defense if they want to. [/QUOTE]
