so perhaps the STR score could give the Wizard his base spell damage, that is his offensiveness ???
I think that you're trying to say that STR shouldn't be an ability score because it's not useful to everybody, so you want to make STR useful to the Wizard? But that doesn't really make any sense, because STR already is useful to the Wizard:
Melee Basic Attack attack roll and damage roll, Ranged Basic Attack attack rolls and damage rolls with a Heavy Thrown weapon, Fortitude Defense, Athletics skill checks, carrying capacity, and probably some other stuff that I can't remember.
Do most Wizards care about any of the above? Probably not. Does that mean it's useless? No.
if STR is not useful to a Wizard, then it is not a characteristic but a feat from the fighter class;
so perhaps the STR score could give the Wizard his base spell damage, that is his offensiveness ???
Why?
To increase the number of arbitrary and senseless rules?
I'd really hate to use this argument, but Wizards didn't need strength in any previous edition, and if it ain't broke...
Sugestion if you like str mattering with spells then simply use the dragon soul sorc poof issue resolved for you without needing to change anything
Wizards are suposed to be smart and use there mind and wits to kill things not there musclesDEX gives Reflex Saves
CON gives Fortitude Saves and Hit Points
INT means something like # number of tactics/abilities useable on the battlefield
WIS gives Mental Saves and could also reveal Alignment tendancies, with foolish characters having low WIS and peaceful ones bearing high WIS;
CHA is useful for non-combat encounters; non-combat encounters are ways to obtain hints and bribes;
obviously a Magic-User has lots of (spells) abilities to help him on the battlefield whereas a fighter has only a few tactics as mentioned under the Combat section; so high Int is useful to a Mage and useless to a Warrior; still the warrior deals incredible damage while the mage uses tricks at low level (well, this a vision of ol' style Dungeon playing, where spells are more useful in the fields of utility powers).
A good Thief is also good at resolving non-combat encounters so he should have good CHA.
But he's only a level 1 monster encounter. Not interested (15 xp)
yep, I'm the little frenchie having huge translation French-English issues/problems...
Are you even trying? You almost seem like you're spouting off stupid stuff for attention. (that's not a question)
Six errors in two sentences, bud. Pot, meet kettle. I hear you're calling him black.
Anyway, you can probably ignore Uglyvan. He's posting things for an edition that doesn't exist, save in his head. It is... insanely complex, rife with errors, and fairly nonsensical to boot. As this thread shows, he's seriously considering having STR be the damage dealing stat for wizards.
As far as the content of the posts, I can't really judge. It could be inspired design or just crazy talk. Or maybe it's all just lost in translation. Either way these threads are always entertaining.
Cut the guy a little slack. Being french and posting in english can't be easy. He's certainly doing a lot better than I would if I tried to post in french!

I'd imagine this makes a lot more sense in his native french, yes. Which makes me wonder why he doesn't post this on a french-speaking website. There's not a single person here who can make sense of what he says, so his threads just clutter up the forum. It's sometimes fun to go on one of these and watch all the posters going "WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN?!" but lately I've just found it annoying.
Oh well, it's not like he's ever going to stop, anyway.
