Personally, I couldn’t care less about “dump stats”. I have no problem with fighters emphasizing ST and DX (at the expense of IQ) and wizards IQ and DX (at the expense of ST)*. Or with rogues really needing DX and moderate ST and IQ.
I certainly wouldn’t foul up a game system just to encourage players to take minimum stats of 9 or 10.
*Although we never had the Conan the wizard problem, the new mana rules and limiting figures to 40 points pretty much makes Conan the wizard unlikely, I think.
