[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5565774, member: 22779"] Yeah, this is hardly a new idea. There's all sorts of systems out there that have done this sort of thing. While a female human and a male human of similar weights and heights and builds have a strength difference I'm not entirely convinced that it's so large that it needs to be mechanically modeled. A 160 pound woman and a 160 pound man, both with similar levels of physical fitness aren't likely so hugely different strength wise. Basing it on body mass has the added bonus of not being limited to any specific race or gender. After all, a simple way to do an end run around the idea that human females get a Str limitation is simply play a half-elf female and make the character human in all ways except that it says half-elf on the top of the character sheet. After all, half-elves are fictional beings and don't need to adhere to any sort of physiology, just like any other fictional being. [/QUOTE]
