Not every muscle in the body gives a hoot about the strength score.Should the Tyrannosaurus Rex be awesome at the bench press because it has a high strength score?  How about a purple worm's leg press?I don't have an MM of any edition in front of me, but I imagine one of those two critters above has a higher strength score than the other... but what the heck does that mean?You're being very selective about when you apply verisimilitude and pseudo-physics.  These hand waves sort of work when you're comparing halflings to goliaths, but the system as a whole doesn't really hold together that well.</blockquote>
