I'll take as much INT, DEX, and CHA as I can take. They're just as good as STR and CON, even for a fighting class.

That is going into the "Josiah Hall of Fame".

For what it's worth, I'd prefer fire giant to storm giant in a head-to-head pure stats kind of way as well. You're right that there's a lot of things stats influence. You're wrong that you have a good grasp on what they are, especially given the class selctions available to the two races. You're also wrong that adding them is meaningful in any way- a lot of things swing on stats in a non-linear fashion. Vulns are also less amazing than they are often made out to be.

I'd explain more, but I'm not willing to encourage this level of trolling by feeding you useful information. It might lead to more obnoxious posts, and no one wants that.

It's also possible that you're entirely right, everyone else is entirely wrong, and you will spend the next few months reaping the benefit of being enlightened beyond the rest of us, and tearing CF up with your invincible storm giant. It is also possible that CF will rename itself 'Rainbow Prancing FooFooLand' and change all of the violent skills to revolve around pillow fighting and hopscotch. Possible, however, does not mean probable.
