What stat do you like the best and why? I know their all important in their own way, but which one do you, as a person, like best.
Personally, I'm overly fond of intelligence. Wizards are my favorite, but even when i don't play one I have hating a low Int. Skill points, knowledge checks, and generally Roleplaying that you're not a complete idiot.
I like being able to use my out of game knowledge in character, but that's just me.
Not to be a copycat, but I too prefer the intelligence stat. I don't like not knowing, and it seems there are too many instances where something could have been avoided, or the party could have gained advantage, if someone had only made the appropriate Knowledge roll.
Charisma, because I often end up RPing the party face, no matter what my class.
Dex has been my highest stat most of the time. My int is the second stat. Int usually has to do with my spellcasting, and I'm partial to spellcasting.
Why do we all prefer INT? Because I do too... I'm willing to play low-int characters, but it's pretty much the exception...
We're all nerds here, so I suppose I really should have seen that coming. :-)

I was going to say smart, but nerd sounds more humble:)
Dex. It adds to a save, fun skills, AC (!!), AND attack bonus for finessable weapons if you use that feat.
If I were to value a real-world stat, wisdom would be it. (This is off topic, though I suspect it will be moved)
See, I'm in a quandary.
On the one hand, I rarely, rarely, rarely play low-INT characters. I'm a skill point junkie, and I can never get enough.
On the other hand, I really dislike prepared casting. Really, really, really dislike it. And with the exception of one Sorcerer bloodline and one Magus archetype, all INT-based casters are prepared casters. And all the non- or partial-casters I like tend to be CHA-based, too.
Soooo I typically play CHA-based characters (Spont casters, Paladins, Crusaders, etc.) with as high an INT as I can get and still do my job.
I'm with the golem on Intelligence. My second choice is Wisdom. I like my characters to have some willpower and common sense to avoid doing stupid things they dream up with their high Intelligence :)
What stat do you like the best and why?The number of pizzas cooked up my Marcos around the corner from me. I like pizza.
WELP I know what lunch is tomorrow.
CHA
Not only do I get all the cool RP bonuses, but I'm one of those weirdos who likes to play female characters and I need my ladies to be HAWT!
(I am so ashamed...)
OPS.
My least favorite is Holds.
CON....if your dead then none of the other stats matter.
Dex, because I like to run/tumble away from troubles.
Also, tanks are usually boring as they usually exist only for combat and
I don't like if my character is more clever than me. :(
DEX and CHA
Can't decide which, so I cheat and list two stats...
In order (irl): WIS INT DEX CON CHA STR
In games it's: DEX CON WIS STR INT CHA
Wisdom.
It might just be my gaming circle where it plays out this way, but I feel a lot of potential PC advantages hinge on making a Perception or Sense Motive check no mater what genre you're playing in, and Wisdom-based spellcasters are often literally the life of the party.
While the CON character may survive trap, the crafty WIS character is perceptive enough to avoid triggering it in the first place.
Strength, because I like physically removing a commoner's entrails for yelling at me for disrespecting his wife. I'm the hero, dammit, you don't even look at me little peasant man.

In RPGs, I like stats that let me get away with witty banter. Int, Wis, Cha > Str, Dex, Con. But when it comes to things like Star Wars, I want to be able to be witty (Agility) and fire a blaster (Presence) without being a dope (Intelligence).
