So, I posted another thread regarding saving (LRing) my gimp cleric:

But, I though posting in the rogue forum might get more response to my question... str or dex? Str leverages DM and has more end-game stacking bonuses (like primal scream) and the option to take OC. But...

My problem with STR based is I'm afraid my reflex saves just won't be very good. Here's the breakdown as I see it at level 17 (only gets further apart at higher level):
reflex save:
dex build:
dex - 18 +4 level +2 tome +2 ship + 6 item +4 enhan = 36 = +13
cha - 14 +3 tome + 2 ship + 6 item +1 enh = 26 = +8
13 dex
8 cha
4 rog
3 cleric
5 item
1 luck
=34

str build:
dex - 10 +2 tome +2 ship + 6 item = 20 = +5
cha - 16 +3 tome +2 ship + 6 item +1 enh = 26 = +9 (assumes I can find room for cha enh)
5 dex
9 cha
4 rog
3 cleric
5 item
1 luck
=27

Am I missing anything? Is 27 high enough to reliably save in at level elite content at level 17? If not it sort of defeats the purpose of adding rogue and paladin levels I think. Need advice!
