[QUOTE="Jimlock, post: 5583572, member: 6674931"] There are different types of strengths as there are different types of everything. High Str characters are not always bouncer like. A guy can lift Xlbs three times in a row and stop, while another can lift X/4lbs 50 times in a row and then stop. Different types of strengths, different body/muscle mass, different weights. Players should pick height and weight according to how they want their characters, not so as to make their 4 member party ride a single light horse! The DM is there, he can provide advice and correct anything that isn't consistent in respect to player choice. Rolling for height and weight is not only useless but it can also create problems: Player: "I want my character to be a skinny, short little fellow..." DM: "Uuuum sorry for that,you just rolled maximum height and weight!... You might as well start imagining/describing your character according to that from now on!" [/QUOTE]
