SO right way/ wrong way... group dynomic... it is all wait and see. Maybe he will be a fun character, maybe he will be useful... or maybe he will be boreing, or maybe he will be a drag on resources... you have to wait and see... why are we asssumeing in a vacume 1 stat will make him suck? If he had a 16 stat and a +2 prof weapon, or a 14 stat and a +3 prof weapon he has the same attack bonus...     (((Inless you are saying following the basics of 16 prime stat +2 prof makes sucky characters when that is the default the game uses...))))um defualt assumtion is a 16 prime stat and a +2 prof weapon... between feat bonuses and prof bonuses is a grand total -1 really even noticable???If I made an Elvin swordmage, and I went the sheilding path...and used the defalt array I would be stuck with the following stats:16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10Now my 2 stas I care about are CON and INT, but I don't get a bonus to eaither, so I have a 16 and a 14... isn't it at that point really just 'offence/defence' quastions???  a 16 COn means 1 more pt of sheilding, 2 more hp and 1 more surge... until we know for sure the reason for the 14 it is all guess work</blockquote>
