But, who decides what race is "meant to be better at"?I think it’s more generous to view it from the position of ‘wants the STR races to be noticeably stronger than an ‘average STR’ race’, particularly once the STR cap has been reached by both, meanwhile the halflings should be getting an equivalent advantage in DEX so they’re better at the things they’re meant to be better at, and so on with all the things each race is meant to be good at
Never minding that "meant to be better at" seems rather selective. After all, why all this focus on how halflings are too strong, but, dwarves, which are about half the size of goliaths, are just as strong as goliaths, and have never suffered any sorts of penalties. Or elves, which also have no Str penalty, but, are about 1/4 the size of a goliath.
Why are dwarves better swimmers than humans, for example. We've been over all this before. It's cherry picking bits and pieces and then making claims about how it's not "believable".
