That's not a point.OK, sans hyperbole, this is a good, specific point. And yes, that does suck. But it does not follow that relying on multiple abilities would mean some abilities would be simply unavailable without the right stat points.Abilities that happen a number of times a day equal to X + STAT BONUS are already common in 3E. There's no reason to expect that the designers will choose to go with a system that gimps characters with low or average stats. You're freaking out based on an assumption that the designers will take the worst of the 3E designs and make them standard, when you've got no real basis to believe that at this time.Now, when Rich Baker says "my level 10 warlord had to sit around and cheer on the guys from the sidelines because he had several bad stats" (and his character has an 8 in one score, no?), then you will have ample reason to freak out. He hasn't said that. Heck, the notion that a character can't do something cool in 4E isn't something that's been suggested in any playtest report to date. Quite the contrary.</blockquote>
