[QUOTE="Doctor Proctor, post: 4546842, member: 78547"] In a word, yes. I'm currently playing a Dragonborn Axe and Shield Fighter, with plans to go for Iron Vanguard as a PP. So, as you can guess, Con is a stat that I'm pumping. It does kind of suck, because my Ref and Will are behind my Fort defense a lot, but this is partially mitigated through my Heavy Shield, which adds a +2 to Ref. Also, I have a 12 in Dex and Wis, which means I at least get an additional +1 to secondary defenses. I haven't fully decided yet, but I think I'll probably just pump Con up to 18 (it's a 16 now) and then leave it alone and start pumping Dex instead. This would allow me to get something like Scale Specialization later on, and increase my Ref so that hopefully I just have one really bad defense...that being Will. Even still, again, this gets partially mitigated by having a Heavy Shield, which a Wizard does not have. Additionally, I'll probably mostly be fighting melee and ranged opponents, the Arcane and Divine enemies would (hopefully) be more worried about our Strikers and Wizard. It's precisely [I]because[/I] the Wizard is in the back that he actually needs to worry about secondary defenses a bit more. The Paladin and I will hopefully keep the melee enemies engaged, which would mean it was up to the enemies with ranged attacks to hit the back row...which includes the Wizard. [/QUOTE]
