Starting stats

[Taminy]

As any melee (except maybe a bard or rogue) I'd say full points into STA, and then STR with any leftover points.

For casters (except enchanters, which I never played) I always put full points into WIS or INT as appropriate and any leftover into STA.

My thinking on this is that STA does not give as many HP to casters as it does to melees. Also, maxing our WIS or INT allows you to use +mana, +hp, or +sta gear in more slots.
