If you're unwilling, that's the end of that.But you're essentializing. It's not that all halflings are just as strong as all goliaths. It's that a STR 10 halfling can hit just as hard as a STR 10 goliath. That's it. Powerful Build doubles the carrying capacity of all goliaths. So a STR 10 goliath can carry just as much as a STR 20 halfling. A STR 11 goliath can carry more than a STR 20 halfling. So, on average, goliaths are stronger than halflings. But that doesn't mean that the weakest goliath must always and forever be stronger than the strongest possible halfling. That's something I don't get.</blockquote>
