Partly because it would bug the crap out of me that my female fighter will never be as good in the long run as a male fighter. It would also bother me that fighters in general both male and females are being penalized. Why should fighters have a cap on their prime attribute and no other class has one. And having to make a dex fighter when what I really want is a plate wearing tank just not to have a cap is taking choices away from me.I don't think most of the guys are sexist here but as a female who has experienced sexism in my life this feels like sexism. With penalties or caps in a game I am being told that my character can never be as good as a male character and no matter how you sugar coat it basically comes down to the fact that male fighters will be superior to female fighters.My son plays DnD he is in his early thirties and I asked his opinion on this today while we out and his response was that it was a dumb idea not needed and unfair to female characters. He didn't see how it made the game more realistic. That PCs are special and so it is not surprising they are stronger than the average NPC. If you want that kind of realism then do it with your NPC but leave the PCs alone. There are a lot of in game ways to explain it the higher strength. The female fighters have been touched by the gods, their race has been modified by wizards those were just two ideas we came up with.</blockquote>
