[QUOTE="Alaxk Knight of Galt, post: 4788725, member: 4129"] I'm not sure the Int 13 for Combat Expertise was a bad idea. If you went that way, you were playing a smart fighter and had a different set of feats open up for you. 3.X PHB provided a fighter several choices for stat arrangement Str: Power Attack Dex: Dodge, Weapon Finesse Int: Combat Expertise Not to mention the various other fighter builds from two-weapon fighting, to ranged, to toughness/endurance builds. Plus you still wanted Con for hit points and saves. I'm sure if I look hard enough I'll find a use for Wisdom too (sorry Charisma). A fighter (or any martial class) didn't need to be all consumed by stat X because of the myriad of interesting choices for different stat arrangements. I loved playing Str 10 fighters (I'd just snag Weapon Finesse and move on). For me, part of the beauty of 3.X feat system was the ability to make a smart fighter viable. In 4E, if you want a smart fighter, you better roll a swordmage. [/QUOTE]
