Go for 10 on a tight build, or 12 if you have a few points to spare. Wisdom: You're no cleric, but important skills are keyed off this, and failing a Wisdom save can take you out of the fight in a second, so dumping this is not an option.If you're interested in that, check out the last sample build for an example. Note that it's possible to have an EK that dumps INT and focus on no-save, no-attack spells, but that will limit your spell selection and versatility, and make Eldritch Strike less awesome. Start with a number similar to CON, if possible. Intelligence: This determines the efficiency of your spells, both when attacking and determining save DCs.Archers can start with a 14 without much trouble others need higher values to get in the fray consistently. Constitution: Being a Fighter, taking hits is part of your portfolio.Dext erity: For DEX-melee and archers this is top priority STR guys can leave this low but not dump it, since it governs Initiative, DEX saves, some skills and (sometimes) AC.Stre nght: If you went the STR way, it must obviously be your highest stat otherwise it can be freely dumped.Crossbows are viable, but will require Crossbow Expert for max efficiency. An EK archer is tougher and more versatile than those from other archetypes, as far as I can speculate (never seen one). Archer: Yes, it's entirely possible, and not lacking at all.The rapier is the weapon of choice out there, and not using a shield would be disgraceful. Go for leather armor, upgranding to studded leather ASAP. Important if you want to use Stealth, too. DEX-based melee EK: With a rapier as your main weapon, you will be less MAD, better at the important DEX saves and more efficient at the occasional ranged warfare.If you plan for Great Weapon Master and reach, take a halberd or a pike. If you plan for optimal AC, take a d8 weapon and a shield. Go for chain mail, and upgrade to full plate ASAP. It will make you a little more MAD on overall, though. STR-based melee EK: By going Strenght, you can shove and grapple enemies, use reach weapons and also have a higher AC.Here you must make a choice, which will define your entire career: If you want the maximum raw damage: While the EK has some combos going for that, other archetypes (and classes, for that matter) will usually deal more damage than him.
