[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8635887, member: 67338"] in theory if you avoid SoD/SoD spells you can play any caster with a 10 or even 8 stat... my wizard in one of the games that TPKed early didn't have a low INT but since I was almost all buff/divination magic, and my offensive spell was magic missile (I didn't even have a damage causeing cantrip) I could have put an 8 in there and taken a higher Con and Dex, and at 7thish level maybe notice the diffrence 1 or 2 times from Save DC but maybe would not have been the go to for Arcana know checks... on the other hand my Warlock that was 20+ epic boons had a moment (I think at 18th level) where I used Power Word Stun on a guard that had over 200hp normally but just got double critted from the barbarian... bringing him to usable range. My DC was so high that if he rolled a 20 on his con save he missed it. for months stories of me putting a guy in 'worse then death' perma stun went around. when we were almost done (so levels and Epic boons later) I was told that guard was in a bed at a church being force fed water and juice hoping he will wake but the clerics didn't hold out much hope... For the record I thought PW stun was going to be BETTER than killing the poor guard, but hey I got a huge circumstance bonus to my intimidates after that story got spread... [/QUOTE]
