Ich wollte es zuerst in die Sachen zum Lachen posten, aber da wird das gar nicht richtig gewürdigt, außerdem möchte ich gerne eure Kommentare zu dieser Aussage hören:
Have you noticed that the stats in the D&D Player's Handbook are arranged from best to worst? STRENGTH, DEXTERITY, CONSTITUTION, INTELLIGENCE, WISDOM, CHARISMA. Yeh, some people would put the stats in a different order of importance, but this is the precise order I would use.
Beginning with the worst and working my way up, here's my explanation for the order:
The lowliest stat is Charisma, because who cares if an orc finds you attractive while you're splattering his brains into a wall.
Slightly above Charisma is Wisdom. Wisdom is useless because a DM will never ask you about your character's Wisdom. If your PC wants to do something unwise, like kiss a vampire, your DM always lets him do it. In the history of D&D, a DM has never said, "I'm sorry, your character is too wise to endanger his life in that fashion."
Above Wisdom is Intelligence. A single-digit Intelligence score means "dumb" and a double-digit Intelligence score means "smart." This makes the Intelligence stat slightly useful for roleplaying purposes.
Above Intelligence is Constitution.
Above Constitution is Dexterity.
And above Dexterity is Strength.
Why are the three best stats arranged in this order?
Because while Constitution helps you endure a beating, which is pretty cool, and while Dexterity helps you avoid a beating, which is also pretty cool, Strength allows you to inflict a beating, which is the pinnacle of awesomeness.
