[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 6394423, member: 6776887"] Further increasing the strength score would break bounded accuracy. 30 Strength is already at the limits of what bounded accuracy can take. The Terrasque has a 30 strength and 9 proficiency. It has a +19 to hit. That means that all but the high AC characters are hit barring an attack roll of 1. Raising the Strength even up to 40 would give a +24 to hit and would mean that pretty much everyone was hit all the time. Sure, you could use cover or have a character with plate, shield and the shield spell or other combinations to avoid being hit on a low roll, but those cases would be few and far between. What is gained from a creature having a strength higher than 30 anyway? With the terrasque having a 30 strength, that pretty much sets 30 as the highest strength (is anything stronger in brute strength than the terrasque?). [/QUOTE]
