[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7327129"] And let's talk about Int. I'm wary of making the class too MAD; after all they will still be attacking with their own weapon, so will want Str or Dex. I guess Monks and Paladins already have two roughly equivalent stats. As I explained earlier, I now think it's problematic to make the number of reactions you get a function of INT, because combining that with a number that increases with level is inelegant. (I mean, it could be INT, then INT + 1, then INT + 2, but that just feels sloppy.) I do like the idea that the plan-making ability at level 10 somehow uses Int. E.g., "Everybody in the party gets to add your Int bonus to one ability check that directly contributes to the stated goal". And the ability to help with Wisdom saving throws could first require an Int check against 10 + spell level. That feels flavorful to me. I could see one other reaction either requiring an Int check or granting an Int bonus. Is that enough to make Int desirable but not mandatory? [/QUOTE]
