Standard Array Warblade: Where do you put the 12?

[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) and the 13 was assigned to Intelligence (15 out of 23 votes).

With three ability scores left to assign, where do you put the 12 and why?

I doubt this will be close, so I'll only leave the poll open for a short while.

Charisma!

Why is Green Slime looking at me?

You know you could have saved a lot of time by making 5-10 arrays and then asking everyone to choose between them.

Yes, but this way, nobody can complain that they would have voted for an array that wasn't listed.

Instead they'll complain that the choice of 14 to Con simply ruined everything.

Take it up with the people who voted for Constitution. Isn't democracy wonderful?

 

[Sound of Azure]

I vote for an amendment to Constitution!


12 goes to Dexterity.

Um, Dexterity.

Of course, if *I* were making a warblade, my Stats would look like:
STR 12
DEX 14
CON 13
INT 15
WIS 10
CHA 8

If Intelligence affects a number of his special abilities, it makes the most sense to me to put that stat at its highest. Next highest is Dex; Medium armor allows a generous leeway for a +2 Dex adjustment, and with Weapon Finesse he'd be hitting better with ranged AND melee than using STR alone. Con next, because an extra HP a level never hurts. Str is 4th for that extra +1 tick to damage with everything except crossbows and the like. Wis at 10 so he doesn't get a penalty to Will saves; IME, having a poor Will save kills your front-line fighters when dealing with charm/hold magic; Cha, as always, is a dump stat for warriors.

As expected, it wasn't much of a fight. Dexterity gets the 12 with 9 out of 10 votes.
