D&D 4E My Big 4e Hurdle: Well-Rounded vs Lopsided

[Stalker0]

Feats could be the wild card in all of this. For example, we do know there is one feat (golden wyvern adept) that allows a wizard to make good use of a high wisdom.

One of the advantages of 4e is because ability stats are better contained (ie you aren't going to see strength 40 fighters) you can base more abilities on them directly, because the scaling isn't a problem.

So you may see lots of feats that add +cha to X, and +int to Y.

How much have you considered multi classing into the scheme of things? Sure, a character dedicated to one path may dump stat everything but 1 or 2 vital abilities (Nothing really new there, actually), but he's not going to be as well rounded as that fighter/wizard with a slightly lower STR but more INT.
