And many humans are around 4 feet. Biology is weirdYou wouldhave to define orc strength as so powerful that it overcomes all biology. Meaning the weakest orc have "superior melee accuracy, carrying and lifting capacity, and athleticism" than the weakest elf no matter what.Which is fine. However it limits you to 6 aspects to define race if you don't go beyond that and keep all other races off that racial aspect. And this is how orcs became humans with the Strong hat if the world builder isn't savvy.It's logical but without a skilled writer and designer, it can be "boring and logical".EDIT: And I not saying anything is wrong with that.I mean that's how it worksin Warhammer Fantasy. All orcs are stronger than the average human. Any orc born too weak would be killed by other orcs for being too different.Deviation within a species is a major theme as most races either see it as corruption or a sign of weakness.</blockquote>
