You have combined evolution and their war-like and haughty nature, which is completely insane to combine evolution and cultural attitude together. So, I guess we need to decide. Is it cultural or Genetic? Which direction are these stats coming from?And yet, my point wasn't about changing it, my point was showing the disconnect on why combining this with body type is a poor example.So are dozens of other races. So now the stats come from culture, genetics, body type and magic? And with all of those sources we can't possibly justify moving them from one attribute to another? I mean, seriously?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------See, but not really. Because NPCs having a 15 or 14 in their stats doesn't matter. I mean the Guard statblock is strength based with a 13. For a player character it is a big deal, but not for NPCs. So they have complete access to all classes anyways. These things never really matter for NPCs, just for the players.No problem, it gets confusing---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Or something.... So, we really don't have any idea why they are stronger, but it is clearly key to their identity and would ruin them as a race if it were removed.Then you could tell me where in the PHB or Mordenkainen's that is makes a distinctive difference between the two? What exactly are the cultural differences between them and how does that reflect on one to give them +2 Strength and one to give them +1 Wisdom?</blockquote>
