[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9257420, member: 7635"] I didn't say ANY impact, just no impact on your CLASS functions. RIght now, a Wizard needs High Intelligence because the number of spells he can prep (level + int), the DC or attack roll (PB + Int) and certain spell features are tied to it. That means the most effective thing a wizard can do is get a 20 Int ASAP. Highest score in Int, racial/origin bonus in Int, all stat bumps in Int. BUT we could make it that Wizards don't need 20 Ints to function at peak. Spell DC/Atk Rolls are solely a function of level. Spells prepped are fixed (already done in 24), etc. Now, a Wizard doesn't need to incentivize Int, he can branch into other scores if he wants to. He can take feats or have a high Con or Wis instead. A fighter can use his Str OR a set bonus based on his class. A monk can use Dexterity or a fixed Unarmored AC bonuse. A rogue gets a bonuse they can use instead of ability score mod for skills. A character can function in his core class with a 12 and still not mechanically fall behind. Meanshile, non-fighters still need Str or Dex for weapons, non-rogues use regular ability mods to skills, non-monk's ACs are based on Dex, etc. It would require some rebalancing, but the net effect is a game where you are not always forced to dump a 20 in your primary to be competitive. You can build outside the "strong fighter, smart mage, nimble rogue, wise cleric" paradigm. [/QUOTE]
