We don't know if there is a Con-based utility ability for Wizards, or a Int based one for Clerics, for example.We also don't know if you can choose either ability (say Int or Dex) to help with your skills - frankly I'd be surprised if you could. Therefore, to play a high-int low dex sneakthief isn't going to make much sense - nor is playing a master diplomat cleric without having a high dex.As far as I know, the only thing that's been confirmed is that you can choose between two stats for AC, Fort, Ref & Will scores - if I'm mistaken on this then please correct me.It's the difference between stamina and strength - take American football players as an example. They can hit incredibly hard with a sharp burst in the tackle, but they're not going to be running any marathons (I saw a video recently with an adult bodybuilder being out-treadmilled by a 14 year old cross country runner - he was exhausted after about 2 minutes and she was fine). That's the example of Str vs Con right there - in a fight he's going to do more damage initially, but over time she's a better long term bet.</blockquote>
