I think the most systemic issue is the stat points and their functions. Int does all you would need, so the scant few points your character gets are plenty. Melee, however wants speed, strength, constitution, let alone the whole hybrid character topic. Maybe the solution is as simple as making it so characters get more stat points, but those points have less drastic effects so you could feasibly hybridize a character. Maybe the solution is as simple as adding more skills for strength and dexterity, or even constitution. There could be a constitution-modified skill group that gives buffs to melee like increased damage or resists. Or maybe the game is exactly where Larian wants it and no "solution" is necessary. A basic question: at high levels, what percentage of your stat points have to be put into strength in order to use skills and equipment effectively?
