[QUOTE="Arilyn, post: 7176119, member: 6816042"] Well, the media is actually getting better about making strong warrior females who don't behave like men. Buffy, for example and Wonder Woman in the newest movie. I absolutely agree that you can have excellent warriors who are not running around with huge strength scores. In fact, in stories, heroes, usually don't have the equivalent of 18 or 20 strength. DnD, however, is an abstract game that has never mimicked reality at all well. Melee skill is heavily dependent on your strength or dexterity, and if you want to wield non light weapons, strength is the way to improve your martial skill. It is, therefore, unfair to penalize female characters. Really, if you want to get all realistic and bring in physics and biology, strong, muscle bound males should have to consume more rations. Then we'll we'll really get into arguments and debates that will never end. [/QUOTE]
