It just took me by surprise when you mentioned it so I thought I'd ask, that's all.   By the way, it was really cool in the game when ...(insert recent game-related scene that focuses on something the group did as a whole, or game related question about 'hey, what do you think we should try and do now that we've seen this fist hint of the bad guy's plan?')"...I don't really believe it IS a problem, but If I said anything at all, the above is probably what i'd say.  But beyond that, i (personally) wouldn't offer any advice, or even suggest that he's doing something wrong (pointing out that int is a prime stat for swordmages would be a passive way of saying he is doing something wrong).He may very well have something else in mind (such as not wanting to sacrifice his scores in other attributes if point-buy) or he just doesn't care.   Given that you don't know the person and that it's difficult to convey intent and tone in written emails, anything else may be misread and just make him annoyed.Now, if he ASKS after you've posed a nonconfrontational question of curiosity, that's another story.. but still keep it light hearted and not get in to exact numbers (don't say "you should have at least a 18 in this, and a 14 in that' -- it's his PC not yours to build. howver, saying something like "well, i'd just have thought the int should be a little higher since his attacks and defenses and some damage all depend on it" - i.e. keep it as vague suggestions rather than dictating specific numbers)</blockquote>
