[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 4164624, member: 15538"] Not in any personal way. I would simply be saddened by the author's ignorance. The only area where a men outperform women in Str by 2 points would be carrying capacity and possibly throwing damage. Otherwise, the difference would be at most a single point, at the level of detail D&D uses. Furthermore, -1 Cha does not seem to be me to accurately describe a man's relative ability to use the Intimidation skill, and certainly not the ability to dominate a boardroom. -1 Wis might be marginally accurate, although I feel a lot of research in that area has been tainted by sexist assumptions. If I were going to stat male and female humans differently, I would say: Men: Treat Str as 2 points higher for lighting/carrying capacity +1 to hit with thrown weapons +1 to grapple and trip +1 to Intimidate +1 to save vs. poison Women: +1 to Listen and Sense Motive +1 to Escape Artist and Tumble +1 to Fortitude saves versus nonlethal damage +1 to save vs. disease [/QUOTE]
