[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7176211, member: 6895991"] Yes I agree please lets put that thread on the rails again, and discuss racial ability modifiers instead of gender dependant. It is a RPG and it is about make believe and it is easy to make believe that a woman can be as strong intelligent or whatever as a man of the same FANTASY RACE, it is more difficult to do that with orcs and halflings.´My personal approach is a bit like: yea this Halfling got 20 Str and he hits real hard for a Halfling but its 20 Halfling strength :) so to be a bit more abstract in terms of what it really means. A strength contest between Halfling and orc would still be carried out using the numbers as if the 20 Halfling strength are equal to the 20 orc strength including the outcome, but again that are only numbers in a random generator, the character with the lower str might succeed in some str based challenge while the Hercules fails due to bad luck on the dice, see it like that- If your make believe does not work because of such, just find alternative explanations for the things which actually happen at your table.
