Tempest Trapmonkey for new players

[EvilGremlin]

So, i'm using you guide to build the Tempest Trap-monkey, and found that Strategic Combat I and II only use you Intelligence Modifier and not you base Intelligence. So, you could put less into Intelligence, and more into Strength. You want the biggest Inelegance Modifier anyway to get the Hit and Atk bonus.

Unless it has been specifically noted otherwise, you can just assume that everything always uses a statistic's modifier, not the statistic itself. You shouldn't gain more damage from pumping Strength than Intelligence with a Strategic Combat character. If you do there is something else going on, possibly a bug.
