Uhm. What? I didn't write anything about gear in my example. How important gear would be would solely depend on how large stat bonuses on gear are compared to level-dependent base stats.

e.g. let's say you have 100 base STR as a naked lvl 50 fighter. If a full set of obtainable gear would result in STR+10, it's a completely different situation than if a full set would result in STR+200.
