[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8775364, member: 67338"] how strong? is strength higher then his cha or con? okay I would argue that they don't stories of him hitting people on set don't show him hurting anyone but when 'the russian' hit him for real he broke ribs. TBH I said con was the HARDEST to justify... it was someone else that brought up this justification and you are jumping at it to argue and 'prove' it wrong some how... Str Dex and Con are not 3 independent things in the real world and they are not in most fiction, they are in D&D... nothing says 1 needs to be the attack stat over the others... and as I have shown Wis and Int make as much sense (I think cha is pushing it but is easier to argue from tropes then con) again YOU are the one arguing about some 'weak' character not 'looking' right, not I Edit: I notice a bit of dishonesty here... your argument WAS that someone that looked like rocky could not have a low str score... when I showed that not to be the case you said but if that's the case why argue that you have some accurate accounting we do not about what str score looks like? Can you find ANY rule that says a 20str character can't look like what ever they want, what about an 8 (and don't be dishonest 8-20 is the standard allowable deviation) [/QUOTE]
