Binders need Charisma (for their abilities), Con (their abilities and hitpoints), Str (for melee forms) and Dex (same).  Swordsages have a very good use for Strength, Dex, Con, and Wis.  Bards need Dex, Int, Cha, and Con.  All three are nicely balanced classes.  One could make a similar argument for the Warblade, though his need for Int isn't really that high.

Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.

I realize they perhaps should have some supernatural powers otherwise they're just fighters.

I would only add supernatural powers at level 7+.

Fluffwise they're non-magical so they shouldn't get magical powers until they become superhuman.

Fu. for the win. 1 out of 54 is poor odds.

Yeah. Yeah you're right. I agree with this whole heartedly.

Frankly this is what I said you can give people Either; Or options if you do it well... frankly what he's listed are a group of examples that are good because people can DO things to make them not made ala "ignoring some aspect of the class" or, "replacing use of an ability for another.
Further SSages generally are not mad they use Wis/Dex mostly... or they're part warblade and many times they can live without con because they do things like Teleport and turn invisible at will any number of times per day. -M

Binders are good but they are allowed to ignore their ability scores as well. They dont' HAVE to have charisma to be some kind of "Binding Melee" buffer monster.
A few of thier binds actually have +4 to X stat as one of the 4 abilities. So they reduce Mad by ... ignoring the weak stat. Essentially making them not mad.

Barring having the abilitiy to rework stats at will Solo is correct.

They still lose a good bit if they dump charisma, as many strong abilities they have are charisma based.  It's not like a Monk's "if you don't have these, you die" thing, but binders are still a charisma class.  I also would never take a Swordsage into a fight without a reasonable con, if I could at all avoid it.  They can go down very fast, and remember that it's tough for them to teleport out and then refresh that teleport.  Without Dex, Wis, and Con they're extremely fragile which is very dangerous at levels where a few hits can knock you out.  They can dodge strength, but doing so generally requires Shadow Blade and Weapon Finesse, which is hard for an already feat hungry class.

I mean, let's face it, other traditional MAD classes can also dodge their MAD with feats and such if they really want.  Paladins can take Serenity, Monks can dip Swordsage and take Shadow Blade/Weapon Finesse, etc.  That doesn't mean their MAD doesn't exist, only that they can dodge it by paying something else (usually feats).

The point is, it's quite possible to make a class that makes strong use of a good number of stats and still have it be balanced.  You just have to count that as a weakness of the class and have appropriate strengths to deal with it.  For example, you could have a Samurai that needs Str, Con, and Charisma, while still having good use of Dex (for initiative, reflex saves, etc), and have a balanced warrior... assuming his abilities are generally good to make up for the lower main stats.  And sure, you could just dump charisma on a Samurai who has a bunch of Charisma based abilities, just as you could for Binders... it's not a great plan most of the time, but you could do it.

Uh huh... Anyone else care to weigh in here?

Begin rant:
Quote

Maybe but not if my role is "fighter" and my class is binder. In that case  really you dont' give a damn about the charisma really. Depanding on various things.
Non the less. Mad is "Generally Speaking" a bad thing. There maybe a few instances where thats not the case but the vast majority of the time its fucking over a class.
Moreover does any one else see this as making a druid argument. Binder to a lesser degree.
His original statement was somthing like "you can make a class that has mad and is good by giving it good class abilities"
read: Druid. Okay so if you've figured out a class that has a build in power that oviates the need for mad then you may as well not have the mad at all, Jaronk.
Without wild shape and an animal companion druid would be made. Great argument I suppose, still though you've gone and done what I proposed. Made a class that make made irrelavant. Thats not taking feats thats just the situation...
Quote
"Lets face facts" ....
Yes lets Making a class with Multiple Attribute dependance is generally a bad thing OVERWHELMINGLY SO. So while they're maybe a few example of a class that obviates it own made we should level with that from the begining.
Hell give it two paths, but give those using Str/Chr(con) eqivalent and Parallel to those using Dex/Wis Go Samurai.
Though really it'd be just as well to make it a Chr replaces things class Ala iujustu master.
Charisma to this, charisma to that + some fear powers. Since really these guys are getting by on rep a lot of the times anyway "Oh fuck a samurai!" is kinda what goes down.
So there are options many options to be considered without saying
"Here be Mad. (but heres 3d6 + character level damage to all your attacks every other round so don't worry about it) which is to say... you're not Mad anymore.
bah.

If your role is "Fighter" and your class is "Binder" you've made yourself a lot weaker by ignoring a ton of your useful abilities and losing a lot of flexibility.  Are you really claiming that Binder isn't a charisma based class?  That's kind of like saying you can dump Str and Con as a Swordsage if your role is Scout.  Sure, but you've just lost all combat abilities.  I mean heck, a Monk can dump con, and str and be a scout too.  If MAD doesn't count when you can dump a bunch of abilities to avoid it, then there's no such thing as MAD anyway.  I mean really, what class has MAD under that logic?  A Paladin can tank just fine without Wisdom, as long as he ignores his casting ability.  He can be a charger with only Strength and Con too.  Of course, other classes are better at that, but then again other classes are better than Binders at being fighters without charisma.

Meanwhile, why do you bring up Druid as a class with MAD?  Druids are one of the most SAD classes out there.  Wisdom is great, con is useful, and that's all you need, due to Wild Shape.  Without Wild Shape, they wouldn't need Dex or Str anyway since they wouldn't be a combat class, so that's sort of moot.

The point is, if you make a Samurai character that's effective with Strength and Con, but gets a bunch of other abilities if he uses Charisma, and can make good use of Dexterity too, you just have to balance him taking into account the MAD issue.  That's all there is to it.

Bullshit. No offense but... bullshit. Anytime someont makes a statment and ends it with an absolutist statement, people... suspect bullshit.
Lets look at the argument as you present it with binder instead.
"if you make a Binder character that's effective with Strength and Con, but gets a bunch of other abilities if he uses Charisma, and can make good use of Dexterity too, you just have to balance him taking into account the MAD issue."
What then...?

And no..even at that, even with my statment that's not all there is to it.

Point being either you make a class with Sad, or you make the class with Mad and as I said from the begining a path to choose Either way he's going to miss out on something if you don't calculate in that there'll be "X" types of Samurai out there...
Though... I am familiar with the way you dig your feet in about these things. So having stated my point and you stating yours I'll wait till a 3rd party weighs in, no point it delving into childishness "Nuh-uh" "Uh-huh"
won't get us anywhere.
Mad on the table then. Discuss.

Um, what's the problem?  A Binder can indeed  be effective with Strength and Con, but he does get other abilities if he uses Charisma, and can make good Dexterity too.  Also, he's got MAD issues doing that, but he is indeed balanced.

What are you trying to argue here?  That Binders don't make good use of all four stats?  That Binders aren't balanced?  That it doesn't count as MAD because it's theoretically possible to dump Charisma and Dex, despite the fact that it limits your options?  What are you saying?  Seriously Midnight, I don't understand your point here at all.  You seem to be implying that your quoted portion about binders is in some way false, but I don't see how it is.  And I would in fact use the Binder as an excellent example of exactly how it can be done.

As I understand it, you're arguing that MAD is always a bad thing no matter what and can't be used as a balancing factor in making a class... is that correct?  If so, why doesn't the Binder, as well as the Swordsage or possibly the Rogue (depending on the power level you consider "balanced) count as a counterexample?  Only one is needed to contradict an "always" statement.

just a peek to let you know Im still working:

SAMURAI


   


 The Samurai is a warrior noble who is supposed to accept the concept that his only purpose in life is dying in service to his Lord, or for his own honor.  To accept that keeping to the ideals of honor are more important than his own life or happiness.  There are many who only pay lip service to this ideal, as in any other profession in life.  They make things difficult for those who do follow the Way. 

You will be expected to be both a powerful warrior, and an accomplished poet or artisan.  You will be expected to lead men into battle, and in turn be led by your Lord who may ask you to give your life whenever he pleases.  And if your Lord is an evil and dishonorable man, following his orders to your death is still preferable in the eyes of some to disobeying him and bringing dishonor to yourself.  But an evil Lord will eventually put you in the position that leads to your being dishonored regardless of what you do.  At that point you may end your life, or become a Ronin.  The life of a Ronin will be hard.  Your old master may want you dead, your friends and relatives may disown you for the stigma of your dishonor, and finding a new Lord will be next to impossible.  Since the only marketable skill you know is killing, you will likely have to become a mercenary or assassin for money. 

Welcome to Hell.

MAKING A SAMURAI
 Quick generalization of what you should focus on when making the class.
 Abilities: Since the Samurai is a warrior, your physical stats are expected to be good.  As a Noble your mental stats will be expected to be good.  Earlier Samurai are horse archers and will need Dexterity.  Later Samurai who are expected to be warrior-poets will need Wisdom and Charisma to deal with other members of the Nobility.  Many of your Ki Pool abilities will be based on your mental stats as well.
 RacesAlignment: Samurai are required to be Lawful.  Most are Lawful Neutral, particularly if they follow the Code of Bushido.  Lawful Good Samurai are less common, and many end up becoming Ronin, unable to reconcile their duties to their Lord with what they believe to be right.  Lawful Evil Samurai are monsters, murdering anything in their path, and manipulating the system to protect themselves.
 Starting Gold: Same as a Fighter.
 Starting Age: Same as a Fighter.

Class Skills
 The Samurai's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Geography, History, Local, Nobility & Royalty)(Int), Listen (Wis), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Spot (Wis), and Swim (Str).

PLAYING A SAMURAI
 The Code of Bushido has 7 virtues: Rectitude (a Samurai is expected to conform to the law and rules for moral conduct, and uphold integrity and justice), Courage (he is expected to risk his life in battle when it is possible to achieve something of worth, even if it means his death), Benevolence (he is expected to show mercy), Respect (he is to treat others deserving of respect with such, particularly his lord), Honesty (he must not lie or be deceitful), Honor (he is expected to behave in a dignified manner), and Loyalty (he must do as his lord commands regardless of his personal feelings on the matter).  His honor and his loyalty to his Lord are supposed to mean more to him than his own life, or the lives of others.  In practice, any truly good or evil Samurai finds it difficult to live up to these ideals.  Good Samurai chafe at being given orders to commit evil acts just as much as evil samurai dislike being ordered to perform good acts.  Despite being sworn to a life of honesty, many have a pretty good Bluff skill.

Okay the theme here is that at the first 3 levels you gain your first class abilities, which will usually be a set you can choose from.  At each level thereafter you gain Feats or Ki Pool abilities based on what you chose.

SOund okay?
