Not too sure, it's kinda like min/maxing...
Can't we just accept that they have poor stats period, and move on?
Surely there will be 'stat editing patch mods' made by community in the future.
This isent min/maxing though. Shadowheart genuinely has to few points in her statline compared to character creation. Her DEX could be 10 and while that wouldnt be gamebreaking in the slightest it at the very least would remove the penalty to AC, initiative. stealth and attacks with DEX based weapons incase you want to go that route.
I just started my 2nd playthrough and my Wizard has a higher AC then she does after I cast mage armor xD
That aside, what is wrong with having NPC"s with builds that make sense? Or at the very least have builds that arent actively working against them. If my players want to gimp themselves for a story reason im generally ok with that as a DM but at the same time id question it if they want to gimp one of their more important statlines...
