I could put those numbers together again if you wish.If you really wanted an even 2/2/2 split con+cha might work. Charisma is basically the spirit which covers similar things as the body (curse, possession, etc) while the body prevents changes to your body (levitate, poison, disease, etc).I'm curious so I'll put together those numbers now.EDIT: Ran the math (<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17ZeFuwQVvb9DsMseUU8Pb0KxDU7sizhmebp-U7FuzLY/edit#gid=1095279036" target="_blank">Success Rates</a> under "Monster con/cha"). You'd end up with monsters succeeding on 49% of all fort saves, 46% of all reflex saves, and 41% of all will saves. Which is worse than 47,46,46 from the system I use. Therefore I wouldn't recommend it.</blockquote>
