Message: <blockquote data-quote="see" data-source="post: 4261439" data-attributes="member: 10531">1) If you have no Dex- or Int-based powers, Dex is strictly superior to Int, because it gives you every advantage high Int does, plus it improves initiative.2) If you have Dex-based powers or feats but no Int-based ones, there is no mechanical penalty to using Int as a dump stat.  If you have Int-based powers but no Dex-based ones, you do suffer a mechanical penalty (a lower initiative) if you use Dex as a dump stat.So, the minmax for any character who doesn't use Int-based powers will always be maximizing Dex at the expense of Int, regardless of whether he has any Dex-based powers.  On the other hand, a character who uses Int-based powers but doesn't have any Dex-based ones still might have to retain a decent Dex, depending on the importance of initiative.</blockquote>
