[QUOTE="Victim, post: 474301, member: 78"] Me too. For my last 3e character, I used the following priorities in assigning the stats I rolled: Wis, Con, STR, INT, CHA, DEX. The other characters were a wizard, a sorcerer, and a fighter who soon multied to rogue. My cleric had the lowest STR, and was tied for the lowest CON, IIRC. Things went downhill from there. However, I judge power on the basis of the complete character. A single class tank fighter with all 18s isn't that bad. Armor reduces the effectiveness of dex, and the fighter's pathetic skill list means that he won't be able to get many skills and thus apply his Wis or Cha to them. He mostly has better saves. The Monk, duelist, paladin, cleric, or some unholy combination of the above with all 18s is another story, because those classes can gain significant bonuses from more stats. Similarly, the cleric's overall power combined with my powergamer tendencies more then compensated for the low stats I rolled for the above character. If that character had been getting an XP bonus, he would have been excessively powerful. [/QUOTE]
