[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7183433, member: 29398"] That sounds like yet another hole in the 5e rules. Easy to fix, mind you; but come on - something like this should have been got right to begin with. Even in medieval times some people were robust or portly and still athletically fit. All it needs is a bell curve for those who want to roll (say, 100 + 10d12*) and a range near the center of that bell curve within which you can just choose if you like (say, 140-180*). If the range of 110-220 still isn't wide enough you could always add a rider by afterwards rolling a d20 then flipping a coin whether to add or subtract this from your original roll (thus giving a range of 91-240, a bit wider). * - this would be for human males; females do tend to be a bit lighter on average so maybe make all the constants 20 less for simplicity (thus 80 + 10d12 or a chooseable range of 120-160). Maybe, but we can at least wave at it as it goes by.
