Just a quick question. I'm wondering how useful knowledge geography is?

I was told by a fellow dnd player that he was tired of seeing the fighter and wizard and bard all have 14+ constitution scores. Same with dex and wisdom. I told him to jump into games which use point buy,
specifically 15 or 20 point buy systems. These were characters he called "b@***&&+ heroes." I spent a great deal of time trying to calm him down (profession counselor checks anyone?) Anyhow, what do people think of such characters?

Looking to balance the 3.5 swashbuckler in Complete Warrior handbook with pathfinder beta classes. Any suggestions?
