whats your favorite stat, if you had all 13's and 1 18, where would the 18 go?

True, but consider that a human bard with a 13 Int still gets 8 skill points per level. Having the 18 in Cha would give an effective +3 to all Cha-related skills and a +3 to the DC of his spells over your suggestion. The one big advantage I could see with your idea is the 4x skill points at first level, which makes starting with an 18 Int tempting.

Obviously each is going to have advantages over the other, but this is actually a character I could see playing; a bard with the 18 int. You wouldn't really be sacrificing spell power like most other spell casters that start with a 13 in their casting stat. The Bard being more verstaile then the other casters can take better advantage of lots of skill points as well as getting a nice boost to Bardic Lore.

I went with dex. This is taking into consideration I sort of like the rogue/ranger type characters. I picture my characters as more agile than strong, so dexterity only makes sense.

If I was just me with no class I would definitely pick Con, If I was a class I would pick Int.

Int. I love my skills too much to choose otherwise.

And even classes that have bad class skills *cough*sorc*cough* can be rounded out with clever Craft or Profession skills.

Ha Ha

Wisdom is getting the lowest results. Yoda would be saddened. Wait... I didn't pick Wisdom... Is this a trick question... D'oh!

Favorite stat? That's like asking "What's your favorite character concept?" I'd put the 18 wherever it fit my character, and that could be any of the six stats. Or maybe 5 stats, since it is very unlikely that I'd put the 18 in Con (that's often my 2nd or 3rd highest stat, but never top).

DEX: Because with all of the other stats being 'low' I could still get the armor bonus and do up a great dual-wielding fighter/rogue sneak-attacker that gets decent enough damage.

CHA: Because I just read those "arcane tank" articles and think a Sorcerer/Paladin would make for one sick character even if his other stats were a little underpowered.

Partly it depends on the class, but not every class can rely on one stat alone. Fighters, wizards and clerics all need decent AC to keep them alive and skill points to make them versatile. The rogue with high DEX has these covered, so I voted DEX.

I picked str, the better to bash wimpy, whiny little goblins with.
