Popular fan fiction you say?
It is apparent, at even a cursory glace of the posts by others you are in fact disliked at best, reviled by many. So this fan fiction of yours is the only fiction we have.
Croco even agrees with you and STILL you do not relent.
So kudos! You were correct. And still, the sole reason for this post was some simple advice on sta or str at creation, with a few simple caveats, but still the thread gets muddied to the point that it is no use to anyone.
Even if sta was the best choice, i doubt anyone cares.
There, im last poster.

Thank you for proving my point. You post insults and nonsense and feel hurt if you are not the last poster. Lol what a strange viewpoint.

Lol this thread is still going and he even brought up casting divine intervention on a rogue. There is no way this dude actually plays p99, he just forum quests all day.

As per usual, you didn't read what I said. I said that CHA could be useful if DI'ing Rogues became the meta. I didn't say it was the meta, and I haven't seen it done. You are very good at making yourself look foolish, and it would only take you 30 extra seconds of reading to spare you this trouble.

Your logic supports going CHA. You have yet to provide a real, valid argument that STA offers any benefit to a rogue over strength. The fact that sta is harder to cap than str means absolutely nothing because you could then just focus on CHA. To prove the value of STA you’d have to show that that extra hp somehow mattered to rogue survivability. Otherwise it’s just a waste, and you’d be better off capping CHA if you’re chasing hard to cap stats.
The fact of the matter remains that strength will provide a better short term benefit than sta will. If you want to cap as much as possible, then go cha over sta. Choosing STA is like this weird middle tier where you’ve raided enough to cap str easily but you haven’t capped sta yet. It doesn’t really fit into any category. It’s like “min max lite”.
OP probably went strength on their gnome, and would have been smart to do so. If they went sta, it’s not the end of the world, but I can guarantee you will feel the benefits of starting str more than starting sta. Starting sta is a magelo stat when you want to feel warm and cozy about staring at your max hp pool. You actually will have no idea if it provided a benefit to you.

STA does offer an actual benefit. You get more HP and it is a stat that is harder to cap. I am not sure why you keep having to make stuff up in order to try and win. Max HP is useful on all classes. I am not saying it is the end-all-be-all, but trying to claim it is no value is silly. As I said above, CHA would only make sense if Rogues were DI'ed frequently. Otherwise STA is better.

No where did I claim 25 str is going to significantly impact the leveling process. We are debating amongst the best of minor benefits.

You have already admitted STR does not provide a significant impact to OP's leveling process. I am not sure what you are arguing when you agree with me. If it does not have a significant impact, why would OP notice it? He has 20k worth of gear to get him to a reasonable amount of carry capacity.
You put points into STA because you get more benefit from it over a longer period of play time. You have more hours of play where your STA is not capped. Getting STR capped is much easier, and will occur more often. It is trivial to cap STR in a raid. You will have a Shaman present for FoS + Maniacal Strength. If you don't like having both of those buffs, your preference is irrelevant. In a group you don't need 255 STR to put out good DPS.

My Sk went stamina. I honestly didn’t come across a single situation where I was glad I went stamina, and that’s a tank class, not a dps class

As for your SK, you probably should have gone INT. That stat is harder to cap than STA with Velious gear. Since Rogues don't have a mana pool, they have less stats to choose from, that is why STA becomes the next best stat, as it is harder to cap.
