[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8455836, member: 63508"] Didn't say the character is fine. Just because a rule exist and people play the game doesn't mean the rule is good. The simple spear and the martial trident deal the same damage. Many fans play 5e AND think some of the official rules are bad. Again you missed my point. I would take 5e having a better STR and INT score over the +1. I don't want the 16 INT orc wizard. I want the 15 STR orc wizard to have something worthwhile IMHO to do with their STR. However in 5e [LIST] [*]Wizards, sorcerers, and warlocks don't get the [B]one[/B] STR skill. I think clerics and druids don't get it too. [*]The casters have cantrips to attack with that are based on their casting stat [*]There are fewer few STR save spells [*]Casters have bad weapon selection [*]No one really tracks encumbrance [/LIST] What is a goliath wizard or warlock [I]really [/I]to do with his 15 STR?
