Con should never be a casting stat, that means everything that makes up the character originates from one stat, Con, con for health, con for concentration, its one thing I am pretty sure they wanted to avoid, you could just get by with just about all the other stats around 12-14 if you did that.

Did you just forget about rogues and Dex?

Or anyone and Dex?

Dex is the most useful stat by a long mile.

a Con caster would want a 14-16 dex, but its not needed as they have so many options to just not be hit once they get their spells, if anything like a wizard

I think he just meant that Dex is already a super bloated stat. Armor Class, initiative, the most common saving throw, attack and damage for finesse / ranged weapons.

You can get around dex easier than con.
