In my case, I needed a relatively balanced array, as my class features required a bit of Charisma, Wisdom, no heavy armor so a bit of Dexterity, Constitution and Strength for melee. Frankly, I'm glad our point buy is what it is for this adventure. :D Otherwise, I'd have had to make some very serious sacrifices.<br/><br/>And trust me, Earrings of Message are WORTH IT. Nothing says awesome like an item that requires no verbal or somatic components but allows you to maintain constant contact with the party so long as your in range. It's the kind of item that allows for perfect stealth, and saves lives.
