[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8069340, member: 6879661"] Ah, good, I should have explained what I meant better in my original post. I was referring to the average of the choice made not the average of any given die roll or array. I was questioning the validity of the phrases like ‘stronger than average’ where we can’t know what the average of non orcs let alone be bound to make our orcs stronger, because this is a function of Player choice not dice roll. I will bet all the money in my pockets that the d&d beyond data would show orc characters will be stronger on average than non Orc PCs. Because of class choice and the benefit gained by the +2 strength, even on classes that don’t make use of it. However the suggestion that any PC is bound to follow those choices is incorrect but the spirit of the question is should PC orcs tend to be stronger than PC humans and my answer to this is overwhelmingly yes.
