If that's what you meant then you should have made yourself clear. I'm still a newbie when it comes to IWD. In any case, your maths was still wrong. [/QUOTE]In my post regarding your paladin, I wrote:

I would prioritize STR, DEX, & CON, and roll until I got:
STR 18/51
DEX 18
CON 18
INT 10
WIS 13
CHA 17

I don't see how to be more direct than saying "ROLL UNTIL" you get these scores. The math is correct: 18 + 18 + 18 + 10 + 13 + 17 = 94 total stat points. If you have to sacrifice anything, make it INT.
Every warrior should have max or close to max STR, DEX, & CON. STR helps you hit and damage monsters; DEX helps to keep monsters from hitting you; and CON helps you live longer after you've been hit by monsters.

The other stuff you didn't understand is a comparison between a single-class Cleric and a Ranger dual-classed to a Cleric at level 2. There are many advantages, as listed, for building your all-out Cleric this way.
There is also a comparison between the human dual-class Fighter/Druid and the half-elf multi-class Fighter/Druid.
