This is a lot.If you compare a character with 16 and one with 20 in their main stat, the one with 20 will do ~20% more damage than the one with a 16.That is a huge difference. 20 vs 19 comes out at approx 6% more damage for the 20, but that character has 4 less stat points to use, which it probably isn't worth. Secondary stats and tertiary stats are important.If your main stat is DEX and you are wearing light armor, I would be tempted to push it to 20. You bet your dex bonus to: attack, damage, ac, reflex, initiative. You are only missing fortitude, will, hp, healing surges. (INT is also good in light armor, you are only missing initiative)If your main stat is CON, I would be tempted to push it to 20. You get your con bonus to: attack, damage, fortitude, hp, healing surges.STR, WIS and CHA are stats I would be more inclined to leave at 18, since they haven't got that many benefits...A Con based warlock with 20 con would have 35hp, 12 healing surges, a really good fortitude defense and some really nasty attack spells. A 19 would be nearly as good, but an 18 if you get a bonus to CON isn't really making sense.</blockquote>
