[QUOTE="Stuntman, post: 5013740, member: 84817"] This is an interesting proposal. What it does is eliminate primary stats since your attack modifier is the same no matter what class you are. You are basically turning everything into a secondary stat and make everyone have the same chance of hitting. This would benefit the V-classes as they now make the penalties less for choosing powers that use a different ability. It does impact the ability to min/max as one of the goals of min/maxing is to maximise your chance of hitting. It also seems to impact the effect of magical weapons. If I understand you correctly, a normal sword and a +6 sword have the same chance of hitting, but the +6 sword does more damage. I can see that certain builds may end up being highly untraditional if the current secondary stat is very powerful. For instance, you may see a lot more dwarven wizards. The staff wizard may max out on Con and the orb wizard will max out of Wis. It would be a little unusual if dwarven orb wizards become way more popular than eladrin wizards. The Wis secondary stat is just so important for an orb wizard that you can almost dump Int because the stunlock effect trumps any additional damage from damaging spells. [/QUOTE]
