[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8775404, member: 6801845"] I'm not going to argue about the 8 int genius or the guy who obviously has no muscle mass having an 18 strength. I've explained why I think having con as an attack stat for a martial fighter type makes no sense to me. Feel free to disagree. Strength, con and dexterity are different thing in the game, which is all I care about. I'd also argue that they are very different things in the real world as well. A steroided out body builder can be very unhealthy, I've known people that were very strong but had low dex and vice versa. In the real world acrobats have to have a pretty good strength in addition to dexterity but that's just an example of D&D's oversimplification of reality. But I'm not going to address the accuracy of D&D, nor am I going to bother responding to the red herrings. [/QUOTE]
