Perosnally i feel there a great DICE bAG to help whilst on quest dropping a few points here and there , doesnt hurt .. for Example "Persuade checks" to help put your point across , works wonders ....
Also for instance a large dwarfe might rather intimerdating o a small elven wizard , so maybe a few points in Intimidation would be nice .
Yeah they might not as much use walking around hunting but quest purpose there wonderfull .
