[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7089335, member: 20564"] Considering that Constitution is already the #2 stat, and Strength has a number of benefits like commonly used skills or wearing heavier armor that keep it as a mid-ranged ability score, this would create something very powerful. I've actively looked at house rules to reduce DEX (and increase INT) because I dislike the imbalance in ability scores. I see this as creating an additional imbalance - that's on the negative side of the roster. I also dislike it when you look at creatures of different sizes. For example, a tiny creature will either be able to lift a lot, or have a huge penalty per hit die. It gets to the point where even if you gave all small creatures d12s and huge+ creates d4s that HPs will be way off if we use the STR we want. That's also on the negative side. [/QUOTE]
