Choosing to not have the ability to easily detect lies and traps is very different than Encumbrance, which is purely just a penalty. Making it so anyone who wants to deal any damage is required to have a stat they otherwise do not use in any way, is a penalty. Especially if you do not then remove multiple abilities from multiple classes which would start out-shining dex-based charactersI'm not sure about running faster. No one I picture as a runner is someone who I would say is stronger than a bodybuilder, which is what it means to have a 16 strength. I could see overruns, further jumps and shoving people around as factors of strength. However, looking at One DnD, I do note that just about every push mastery comes on a strength exclusive weapon, the only exceptions being heavy ranged weapons. That sells the fantasy fairly well.</blockquote>
