[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 2521472, member: 3146"] Reason 1: more skill points (Int) or better will save (wis). Reason 2: Dex doesn't improve AC once you max out the max dex bonus of the armor you're wearing. If you're going for a tank fighter, get yourself a suit of fullplate and anything more than a 13 dex is overkill. (13 is good for the Dodge line of feats). As for initiative--it's nice, but it's not all it's cracked up to be--especially for a tank fighter. If you win initiative, you often have to move and attack or ready an attack anyway and consequently don't get key full round attacks in early. (In a party situation, doing a FRA in round one is often better than doing a single attack in round 1 and then a full round attack in round 2 because, even if you would get the single attack in before your opponent's first FRA, the possibility of dealing an FRA worth of damage to the enemy in round 1 and then having your allies finish him off is more likely to remove an enemy from the battle as early as possible.
