[QUOTE="abirdcall, post: 7552745, member: 6748898"] As for popularity of a problem it depends on what we mean by 'quite a few'. Last count 5e had 12-15 million players. The only good count is the survey data that WotC collects. We can look at what people on a forum think but then we get into people who have an issue speak loudest. There is a thread on how to 'fix concentration' with a poll where the vast majority like it the way it is. There are a few who don't. That doesn't mean there is a problem with concentration that needs to be fixed. Something else that is important to keep in mind is that people will often have a problem and then assume a cause. Often when people disagree with the stated cause they are accused of claiming that there isn't a problem. In this case no one picking Str characters. Some people here believe the cause is a d8 rapier. Or more broadly the things that Dex can do. The cause of the problem may have nothing to do with the things that Dex can do but lie with another aspect of their game. More likely the things that Str is needed for. So people aren't saying the problem doesn't exist for some people's games. Rather that the cause may not be what they think it is. [/QUOTE]
