Yeah, I see what you guys mean. I haven't played online, but I do like to spread all my items as evenly as possible through my party so nobody is overly weak. But I do give some extra stuff to my guys up front.
Oh, and I've got your gnome beat on weakness, Albromor. My favorite character is a half-elf bard with 9 strength. I call him the brains of the outfit, while the others provide the muscle for his bight ideas.
