Dexterity is AC, Reflex save, ranged, possibly melee, and some of the best skills in the game. Constitution is your HP and Fortitude save. (Doubly important in my games, which tend to make Dex and Con vital.) Intelligence governs your skill points-- and every class needs skills. It's also the ability score for some of the most important skills. Wisdom is your Will save and your ability to react to threats-- anyone who's taken a full attack worth of sneaks knows how important Wisdom is.Charisma is less important for most characters, though vital for the party's spokesman, and it can turn a Cleric or Paladin into a monster. It's also of course vital for Bards and Sorcerors.I really think that the entire idea that Strength is more important than any other stat is based on flawed logic.</blockquote>
