That is not true....

Are you not reading the replies??

A 28 point character can have the same MAX primary stat as a 32 point character...

Two wizards, one 28-point, one 32-point... Both can start with 18 INT. Both get the same gear... The 28-point character's spells will land EXACTLY as often as the 32-point character... Kicking butt will be exactly the same.

You know what the 32-point character will have? Maybe +2 will save, or 20 more hps at end-game. These are nice, but barely noticable.

The place where 32-points matters is complicated multi-class builds... because then you may have 2-3 "primary" stats. New players shouldn't even try those builds until they've played the game for a while (and gotten close to 1750 favor!), because it's easy to make a mistake and gimp a complicated multi-class build...
