Hi Tessarael, I was just teasing. I think you are right, for that specific player, if they are that concerned with something like that...

Do you see how all my what ifs are true, and they can happen? And they could happen more often to the fighter with the higher strength...

I think you only should be replacing 1 of the original 4 fighters to see the true effect of a single pc taking 1 lower str and con mod.
