[QUOTE="jaer, post: 4071388, member: 57861"] I much prefer the charisma and strength over intelligence aspect for rogues. I don't think all rogues need to be smart, nor do they need to be strong and charismatic, but should look to be one over the other. When dealing with actual execution of a plan, intelligence isn't necessarily as important. Even dumb-as-nails Mongo can sneak up and bash the guard at the right time. Not all rogues are the ones making the plans; that is what the guildmaster is for. I think every stat should have some benefit to every class, but nothing that makes it necessary to have if it isn't one of the primes. If a rogue wants to be high or low intelligence, it should only marginally effect his ability as a rogue, and should be more fluff than anything else. The one thing I hated most about 3e was how many stats were necessary for some classes (rogues, paladins, rangers, monks, bards) and how some classes needed only 1 good stat and 2 or 3 decent ones be fully playable (fighters, sorcs, wizards). I'll be happen to see each class have only 2 or 3 primes and the rest be dumbable. [/QUOTE]
