Welcome, seekers of wisdom. This is a thread for the sharing, discussion, and talking about of wisdom in all its forms. I'll begin with the impartition of a few of my favorite "wisdom nuggets".
1. The fool plans, but the wise man laughs.
2. Without end does wisdom pour, from the fount of experience. Take a sip.
3. To what end is one wise? That is the riddle of the wise.

Unfortunately this depends on the DM almost completely. The old rules made strength adjustments twice as expensive as other stats because it was the most "powerful," but in a well run game every stat matters.

As part of a silly getting to know each other before we start thing with our new online dnd campaign, we all did a dnd character sheet personality test thingy.

It was interesting in 3.5e how some classes needed multiple high ability scores to function, while others got by with only one. If you're a fighter with a two handed melee weapon, crank up strength and you're good to go. A spellcaster? You need your spellcasting ability maxed and anything else is secondary. Now for most of these folks a robust constitution score is their second choice for a variety of reasons, but if you know what you're doing it's not a deal breaker to have a low score in it.
I'd say the Monk and the Paladin got the worse of MAD. The monk is a frontline warrior who can't wear armour, so can't really neglect their physical stats, but also needs Wisdom to benefit their class features. Paladins are also warriors but can wear armour to cover some of their frailty, but need both charisma for class features and wisdom for spellcasting. That's undoubtedly a pain to up all those stats to be most effective.
Conversely, while the rogue most synergises with dexterity and intelligence, their skill points and class features are broad enough that you can absolutely have low scores in those but still build an effective character. In that regard they don't have a dependency on any ability score.
Important advice from the Warcraft II tip box whenever you start a level
every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser, and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.
mine is definitely intelligence and because I rolled shitty everything else is like, 9
