How important are your bonus points when creating a character?

[Mirana]

The short answer to your question is no, starting stats are, 90% of the time, not very important. One exception to this rule is agility less than 75 needs to be brought up, but that affects very few race/class combos.

Strength helps leveling but is easily maxed. Same goes for int/wis on casters/priests, both very easily maxed at end game. Min/maxers swear by stamina, but on most classes it ends up being barely noticeable. For reference, after hitting the 115 stamina mark, which you will get on base gear at higher levels, rangers get 2.1hp/sta, so those 20 points will net you 42 hp. Yippee. Even warriors will only net 60 hp from it. Agi is generally considered useless once it hits the 75 mark, and the same goes for dexterity with a couple exceptions (bard fizzles, warrior threat procs).

TLDR: No, your starting stats matter very little in almost all cases.
