[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8607553, member: 20564"] For example, if a fighter spends 90% of their time using archery and making ranged attacks, and has taken several feats to back that up, the fact that they have a high STR so they can use a different weapon than the rapier has very little impact on the game. And, of course, that added "you can do more" still does the reverse of what you want. A fighter with 20 STR, 20 DEX and 20 CON - are attacking at any time with a STR weapon or a DEX weapon. Are wearing light armor OR heavy armor. Have some extra HPs on top of d10s. A caster with 20 casting ability, 20 DEX and 20 CON have a lot better AC if limited in armor proficiencies. The bonus HPs are a larger percentage because they are only starting with d6 or d8. The CON (and potential greater AC) make it less likely to lose Concentration. So multiple high scores give martials more options, and give casters directly more power. [/QUOTE]
