Why do I need another point in STR? It's my dump stat. I'll take an

I've probably got an 8, I think I dumped Con too though. High Dex &
well above average Int & Wiz, maybe average Cha by now (I keep trying
to buy it up) I'd probably make a good rogue, and I took a couple
disads too, - Bad back (1/2 carrying capacity), Asthma (becomes
fatigued immediately after 1 round of running), allergies (-2 on
skills while within contact of allergy causing substances), Temper
(enter blind rage if insulted DC 10, been buying this one down). With
all my disads, I'm pretty sure I'm a normal. Oh wait, I'm mixing Hero
and D&D again... I need to rework my skills, I'm a gimped character,
I've taken a bunch that don't do me any good, like Knowledge:
Mythology, and Craft: Sculpture (damn real life doesn't let you get
those skill points back through atrophy, I know how to do it, but I
don't use it) I need to raise my profession skill so I can make more
gp per week.

I'm sure D&D doesn't model Dex right, my manual dexterity is extremely
high, I've got great reflexes with my hands, nearly ambidextrous
(can't write legibly with my left(almost legibly if i write mirrored
text), and scissors are somewhat awkward, but everything else I can do
as well), I can be extremely quiet and sneak around pretty well, I
fight way way better with small light weapons (I don't think I bought
finesse, good argument it should be automatic) but I can barely hit
the broad side of a barn with a bow after 2 semesters of archery, and
I definitely am not any harder to hit in combat from dodging, which I
just can't do, nearly knocked myself out in high school failing to do
a somersault ever on a trampoline and landing on my head every time.
