[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 4208930, member: 40810"] I usually end up with character who suffer much from self-induced MAD and I don't think that will change for me in 4e. I just prefer multiple 14s instead of just excelling in my main area. I am aware that this often makes my character the weakest char on the table, but I prefer that from a RP point of view. My last fighter/rogue depends on Str, Dex, Con, Int and Cha. Str because my weapon of choice is a longsword Dex because with my mere chainshirt I need every point of AC -> I could solve this MAD through attacking with weapon finesse, but I do not want it Con is obvious as a front-line guy with light armor and half of my HD being d6 Int not so much because of extra skill points (I could easily live with the rogue skillpoints + human bonus without any bonus skill points) but because I just want to have a smart character Cha because I wanted him to be the darin scoundrel who steals the lady's heart along with her wallet That leaves Wis as my only dump stat, yet even there I took 10 because my will save is abysmal enought without the -1 penalty I did my char with 28 points weighted point buy and now you can guess how much he sucks in combat. But I am quite happy with him. I already see me build similar chars in 4e, especially at least 12 Int / 12 Char ony any Char I create (even with classes who gain nothing from Int/Cha and to the expense of the stats that really matter for that class) [/QUOTE]
