Standard Array Warblade: Where do you put the 10?

[FireLance]

You're creating a generic human warblade with the standard array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8).

After the previous threads, the 15 was assigned to Strength (24 out of 33 votes), the 14 was assigned to Constitution (13 out of 35 votes), the 13 was assigned to Intelligence (15 out of 23 votes), and the 12 was assigned to Dexterity (9 out of 10 votes).

Just for completeness, where do you put the 10 and why?

 

[EyeontheMountain]

In wisdom of course. Or Charisma, natch. Doesn't really matter one way or the other.

Wisdom, obviously.

That is, unless you have the maneuver Momment of Perfect Mind readied. If so, then it does not matter one bit.

...who ever thought that maneuver was balanced should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

I guess it depends on what you're balancing it against. Some of the other 1st-level maneuvers available to warblades look pretty good, too.

Of course over a wide range of levels it is using up 1/4 of your active choices, takes an immediate action to use, and is essentially only useable every other round at the most.

I like it, but it is not without some cost to use.

Given the description of the warblade as seeking glory and accolades I think Charisma should be the higher of the two, with a bit of self involvment easily explaining the Wisdom penalty. On the other hand, being an arrogant snot would explain a Charisma penalty - but could just as easily explain why it has no bonus. So go Charisma for the 10.

Looks like Wisdom got 11 out of 16 votes, giving our generic human warblade Str 15, Dex 12, Con 14, Int 13, Wis 10, Cha 8.

They do indeed.

Still, everyone in my gaming group agrees that Moment of Perfect Mind is *way* too good to pass up. Replace my Will save with a Concentration skill check? Yes, please!

Our current Warblade 5 has a check of +19. As a DM, there's really no point in me throwing a Will save creature/spell at him. (Not that I don't try anyway.... )

I'd go 10 in cha and 8 wis, because Moment of Perfect Mind = no need for wisdom, and Warblades should be smart AND sexy.

That's why you don't throw a Will save creature against him. You use at least two.
