By the way:
Quote:
Just like D&D, physical stats are always superior to mental stats. So, a 24 int will never, ever be as good as a good physical stat.
It is obvious that you have no sense for dnd.
I'll not go as far as to explain the superiority of mental stats to physical stats when it comes to RP, but even talking about system, just take my word for it, mental stats are so unfathomably superior to physical stats that you would easily sacrifice 10 con for 3 points of int.
Need I remind you of a little man named Raistlin who had 3 con?
And if you don't know who raistlin is, you do not deserve to play D&D.
To summarize, Both rpwise and systemwise, in D&D:
casters > non-casters.
Casters rely on mental stats / non-casters rely on physical stats.
Thus:
Mental stats > physical stats.
Will a high str save you from a grappling monster? Maybe.
Will having enough int to get an extra 8th level spell enable you to memorize a quickened dimension door, which will allow you to escape a grapple by casting a verbal only spell as a free action? Yes. And then you can continue by disintegrating/mind controlling whatever it was that caught you. If worse comes to worse, you can always slipgate it into the astral plane where int becomes dex and wis becomes str, and wrestle it there to your heart's content.
Out of context post, but it is Gary gygax's funeral day, so I felt like talking D&D :p
