[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8641424, member: 6802951"] In general, the only times that Dex isn't at least tied for best secondary stat, is when it is the primary stat. I think that comparing Dex to the primary ability score of a class is rather missing the point. Primary ability scores are different depending on the class. I don't believe that anyone is arguing that Dex is better than Int for most Wizards, so I don't think that stating that it is is constructive. This does not disprove what they said. I feel the point at which people start to suggest that the situation of fighters making untrained Investigation checks meaning that Dex isn't generally better than Int for them, taking a breath could be beneficial. Indeed. And you could give the same argument for how Dex isn't as useful as Int for Wizards. Or how there are builds of Rogues, Rangers and Monks where Dex does not have to be the highest stat. However what you are dancing around is that you are having to change the stat that you are comparing with each time. [/QUOTE]
