A player with 14 str/14 con will have the same fort defense as a 18 str, 10 con...and for far less points.Certain builds (like the barbarian str/con build) will have much more imbalanced defenses then they do now. However, I think this is okay in 4e, mainly because defenses as a whole are more balanced.In 3e, reflex was the weakest defense. Fort was generally the most important against the nastiest effects, followed very closely by will, and then reflex. Now the various defenses guard against similar effects...just used in different ways. So if a barb is virtually untouchable against the poison mist (fort), but painful vulnerable to the poison spray (reflex), I'm okay with that.</blockquote>
