Well, the problem with synthesists versus the low mental stat fighters, is that the fighters actually had to deal with having low mental stats. Skill points, will saves, etc... Synthesists dumped their physical scores and still got good physical stats when merged. The 7/7/7 synthesist basically gets (assuming biped) another 25 points for free. And that isn't an issue for some of you?How many fighters or barbarians that stat dumped Int and Cha down to 7 actually roleplay a limitation?
And I never mentioned Wis, the min-max crowd does not dump that stat.
My All time favorite character was actually a half orc barbarian with an int of 5. Playing a ridiculously strong character with a heart of gold and the intelligence of a 1st grader was fun for me and the whole group.
