I'll just assume so.Caramon Majere was always "the hulking strong guy", but this largely meant he could carry around more gear and perform a few acts of brute strength such as lifting an enemy off the ground. It didn't directly translate into him being a better fighter than Tanis or Sturm. Skill at arms was disassociated from brute strength. A few of the weaker characters (Raistlin especially) were too weak to even wield swords effectively (this represents the minimum strength needed to be a warrior), but beyond that minimum strength skill mattered more than attributes.I want to be able give players that kind of flexibility in defining their PCs. To be a Tanis Half-Elven who's "strong enough" but not "Caramon strong" and be no less a warrior for it.</blockquote>
