I used to build Speed and Dex first in most of my hybrids, then either Strength or Int, and Vit or Pi, depending on whether i wanted Magic or Combat.
But that Attributes testing thread kinda changes how i'm developing my last 3 starts. Because Int has been shown to help only with learning, and not with the actual use, any of the skills it's listed as controlling, and Powercast doesn't do much, so you can boost Dex and Str instead, and then maybe for initiative Spd; to-hit, Sen; and for Mana, Pie. And of course, there's no debating Vit for more HP.
I had an imaginary conversation with my characters:
me: So, how'dya like to be harder to hit?
ALL: Yeah, great, where do we sign up? What's it cost?
me: It'll cost ya one level! And your dignity!
ALL: What, for +10 AC we got dignity?
Moral: Practise still makes better faster.
