[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7844771, member: 6802951"] I've not found that. IME many dedicated casters actually have better Con scores than the front-liners due to SAD. When your casting stat is your primary combat stat plus a useful skill stat, plus can be applied in other ways in the other two pillars of the game, you generally can spare the points or choice to make your CON a decent number. When you have both a primary and secondary combat stat, plus using different stats for skills and in the other pillars of the game, you have a lot more stats fighting for priority. I can't. You can't "pull the blow" of most spells, and so there is a reasonable chance that any spell will kill your sparring partner. I addition, I really don't see most wizards practising getting in fights with spells, except as intellectual exercises. Why can't the Fighter have luck, favour, and sixth-sense [I]as well[/I] as their combat training and experience? [/QUOTE]
