As things stand, it looks like warlords and wizards will favor int, clerics will be indifferent between int and dex (leaving it up to a roleplay preference on a per-character basis, rather than a mechanical preference -- smart clerics aren't a bad thing), fighters will probably be somewhat indifferent (I'm assuming that heavy armor will hinder the use of dex based skills, so that dex's skill advantage will be mitigated rather than having sneaky, acrobatic fighters in plate), allowing for thoughtful, cunning warriors and mercenaries. Likewise for paladins.Heck, even rogues may find some value in doubling up their "reflex stats" -- while I'm sure they'll be grabbing dex for the skills, I've never met a thief worth mentioning who couldn't appraise. I also wonder if perhaps dungeoneering might be an int-based skill this time around, given that some uses of things like decipher script and various knowledge skills might have gotten rolled into it.</blockquote>
