Hi, I have a question about how to distribute points when I form a party. I did have a party, but kept having problems with it, so I want to start over with a better party. My question is, is it better to give your character a really high amount of points in one area, or try to make your character more well-rounded? For instance, should I give my Paladin 18 charisma and strength, even though his constitution will only be 10? Or can he get by with 16 charisma? Can my theif get by with 16 dexterity, or do I really need 18? Also, when I level up, do I really need more than 18 points in any given area? I'm used to BGII, when 18 points was the cap.

Does anyone have any advice in this area?
