[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 4259735, member: 5143"] Well, an 18 in a stat is 16 points. You would have 6 left, which could get you a 14 in your Int and 1 point left over which you put into Cha. Assuming you always choose to increase both your int and wis every time you get an increase then: 1. You don't have enough charisma to take Spell Focus until 21st level. 2. Your Int is 22 at 30th level. So, you'll likely have +27 to hit with a +6 implement. Taking a 30th level monster: An ancient Red Dragon, you'd need 16s to his his REF. 11s to hit the Tarrasque, 13 to hit a Godforged Colossus(although he's level 29 and immune to sleep), 19s to hit Orcus, 16s to hit a Runescribed Dracolich(also 29). Not the best chance to hit by yourself. 3. The biggest non-warlord bonus you could get to attacks from another class is +2. A Warlord has a couple of powers that can add +Int Mod to hit, but only against the target he already hit, so it requires a bit to set up. 4. You could spend an action point in order to boost your attack bonus as much as +7 or so to your attack roll. In which case, yep, you'd be able to do some nasty stuff for that one attack. [/QUOTE]
