Wtf. No. INT is practically useless as an Enchanter. HP, mana, and CHA are all way more important. Maxing CHA at character creation allows you to start buying HP and mana gear quicker because you hit 200 unbuffed CHA sooner.
And you'll still hit the INT soft cap with exactly zero effort.

The point was... that based on which race you choose maxing out CHA just barely puts you higher than another race's STARTING CHA. Yet somehow these dark elf and gnome enchanters haven't ruined their lives because they didn't roll high elf.
But sure if hps are so dear to you put everything into STA if that floats your boat. I honestly could care less but stop acting like to be an effective enchanter you have to be a HIE with maxed out CHA into starting points. That just isn't the case, pick an erudite cause you like bath robes, or pick that DE cause they look badass (and hide is cool), or gnome because they are short (and you don't need a spell to see through walls). So what if you have to carry around that glorified beer mug for a bit longer, that one slot isn't going to make or break your gaming experience.
Also if INT means nothing why doesn't everyone start as a human enc? they only start with 5 less CHA but have better STA? Those few extra hit points remember are much more important than INT since INT means nothing. I guess everyone has been doing it wrong this whole time.
