Awesome reply Stabbey,
Thank you for all that information! I'm OK with a purely melee tank character having to spend points in both STR and CON as that makes sense; the PERC part is OK too I guess; you could always do 2 STR, 2 CON 1 PERC per level. INT I'm not concerned about since I like my characters to completely stay away from magic for RP purposes; in fact my worry is that it might be impossible to have a traditional melee only sword+shield tank character in this game and is why I started this topic.
Like I said before; it's not a huge deal as the game looks fantastic anyway, but it would definitely enhance my experience exponentially more to be able to play a typical Heavy armored sword and board character
