[QUOTE="Voss, post: 4253708, member: 57593"] Buying an 18 through point buy isn't necessarily your best option. Its good for some characters, but you'll often want 14s in your secondary and/or tertiary stats, and possibly con. Both for secondary power effects and for other defenses. Buying an 18 essentially means you're buying 18/13/13/10/10/8 or 18/14/11/10/10/8. This can probably work from what people have said (warlocks and wizards, I'm looking at you). But its going to make clerics and paladins cry. Most classes are probably better off with 17/14/13/12/10/8 or 17/14/14/10/10/8. Its effective for your primary stat (you're only off the max for about half your levels), can give you functional secondary stats and defenses, and doesn't leave you with glaring weaknesses. The array is horrible though. Buying up the 8 and raising a 10 to 11 is completely worthless. That could turn the 12 into a 14, and no one needs to care about a 5th or 6th stat, unless you absolutely can't stand to have a trivial penalty on skills you don't care about. I'd suggest a default array of 16/14/14/13/10/8 [/QUOTE]
