Agreed as well.

STR should be the main damage stat (add damage to melee weapons, some damage to some bows and thrown weapons) and the HP stat (and HP regen)

DEX would add "To Hit" bonuses to weapons, add some damage (maybe half of what STR gives) to missile weapons and is the Dodge stat.

INT is the mana stat (and Mana regen) and could add damage to all spells.

That way there would be a reason to put points into all/most stats.
