If you swallow poison, nothing but Constitution is going to do you any good. But if a Bigby's hand is trying to grab you, then Strength or Dexterity can be useful. There definitely needs to be a rule to prevent players abusing the system by trying to convince the DM that their best stat works for "everything".I'd like to see ripostes that allow a player to aim at a higher DC in order to achieve results above and beyond a mere save. For example, a wizard could choose to dive out of the way of a fireball (using Dex) or counter the spell using Int, potentially saving everyone.</blockquote>
