Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 100886" data-attributes="member: 158">the only problem with trying to bulk up your skill points as a fighter is that the fighter will NEVER be good at skills, except for the class skills, which do not include sense motive, bluff, spot, listen, etc. Even if you are a human with an 18 INT. 2+1+4 = 7 points? and you've sacrificed your best score for improving one of the fighter's weakest areas. For RP purposes, it's dandy, but for being effective in the field you have chosen, it is a gross underutilization of your chosen path.However, adding levels in classes that contain those needed skills (such as ranger, rogue, and barbarian), will net you far more in those needed skills than bolstering your intelligence. Is it really going to matter if the Half-orc has 1 or 2 skill points?If you play a ranged fighter, halflings and elves (elves especially) will excel at it. If you wish to be a stone statue and a pretty good fighter, Dwarf is the choice. Humans and H-orcs make the best straight-up melee fighters, with humans being better for "finesse" fighters.</blockquote>
