A lot. Which isn't satisfying at all. And he may find the game more frustrating than fun. And that's Bad.This isn't hypothetical; I've seen it happen. A friend tried to play a two-primary-stat warlock in a 4e game I ran at the dawn of 4e, and he couldn't hit anything, and he didn't have any fun at all.Don't wait until he's Not Having Fun. He's playing the game to have fun, and if he's not having fun and he's new to D&D, he may conclude that it's simply not for him and leave, when in fact he would have enjoyed it just as much as everybody else if his character hadn't been crippled. Don't be blatant UR DOING IT WRONG, but don't ignore the issue either.Anybody who says "He chose to put a 14 in int for A Reason, and this is His Decision, and we Must Not Interfere with it, for that would be Wrong" is actively working against the introduction of the joy of RPGs to new people.</blockquote>
