Your literal words here: "<a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/size-carrying-capacity-strength.701945/post-9247262" target="_blank">It is the DMs fault.</a>" If they have three group members that rely on strength, then they need to build or modify the encounters to highlight their poorly defined poorly simplified strength" more & more.  That goes double for being needlessly difficult when bad simplification& niche eroding ensures that nearly everything that might be a thing str(athletics) could apply to is a thing equally happy to work just as well with dex(acrobatics).[MEDIA=youtube]54YfhiEoUCY[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
