[Which Attributes for which class? And how high?]

Any suggestions for what stats are good for a Chanter?

[Early play]

Considering how early the backer beta went out, backers got to play considerably early! 

They never said anything about the release version having a special pre-release for kickstarters...

[Dump stat constitution ?]

If you're dumping constitution... better be prepared to sit in the back for big fights (or spend it grievously wounded). Might be better off dumping might if you're going to be in the back anyway.

[Digital goodies?]

The manual (with uncorrected errata) is posted on steam if you're interested in some reading...

[Pillars of Eternity Beginner's Guide]

 

 

With no rogues available as companions, I am thinking of maybe creating one as my main character, to open chests, disarm traps, etc. Do you think it necessary, or can I just develop another character's stealth and mechanics skills for this?

 

 

You don't need a rogue for typical RPG thief actions - there is a separate "mechanics" skill for traps, locks, etc that anyone can take.

Think of the Rogue more as an assassin - comes out of the shadows, stabs you in the back, disappears again.
