D&D has most often been a simplified system, it is not an attempt at simulation and providing fidelity in in-game terms and real-life ones. It is just that it is hardwired in the str the amount of load one can carry, which is totally fine given the overall system complexity (or lack of) but sometimes it is harder for me to dissociate extremely high str with piles of muscles. Anyhow, this edition has changed a lot of the sword and board melee warriors I have seen in game to rapier wielders, and shifted a lot of melee combat to the domain of dex. Finesse has become more a norm of for fighting with one-handed weapons than a niche. This feat would at least provide some melee builds with ways to diversify their atributes, and a maybe more compelling reason not to dump the other stat, or at least that is what I am aiming at.</blockquote>
