My long post on this topic got lost for some reason, but a quick summary will be better anyway.
Some very bad maths suggests that a 0.4 lb rock is somewhat heavier than a baseball, so if thrown at...

Yeah, you're right, I haven't played enough V since the big monsters change to get a real feel for the new breakpoints.
With that in mind I feel like +4 INT will become more worthwhile than what...

If you're not confident in your stealth, then going for a higher stealth combo could work, but you will have a lot less stats and hit dice to play with that way. If you do, Kobold is best.
