[QUOTE="Set, post: 4163820, member: 41584"] What he said. Plus, if we wanted to be all 'realistic,' women should get a +2 Con over men, to represent their physical endurance, increased longevity and overall health advantage over us three-leggers. There was a neat Air Force study on how much better suited women were to be fighter pilots than men, and how many more G-forces they could take before blacking out. So, naturally, the geniuses in our armed forces let them pilot helicopters instead, where they have no statistical advantage or disadvantage over male pilots... Our tax dollars at work! "Wow, Becky would be really good at this!" "Under no circumstances can we allow her to do that, then. Stan might get moody and irrational if he's consistently outflown by a chick, and we have to consider his feelings." But to heck with realism. Elves can somehow live thousands of years despite being frail and sickly creatures that live in the freaking woods. Dwarves can see *with no light at all.* Halflings can be two feet tall, wielding knives the size of plastic sporks, and still a credible threat to grown-ups. And that woman holding the sword to the big blubbering Ogre back in the 2E Fighters book? She can totally kick your butt. [/QUOTE]
