But if one person is even 10 pounds heavier than a lightweight, it matters alot.The range of each weightclass increases as size increases, and narrows as size decreases.Interestingly, the proportions resemble a Golden Ratio.Weight is significant in reallife combat.So much so, it seems worthwhile to split up Medium into Big and Little. Because the bigger combatant has a reallife advantage.I am comfortable with magical creatures being magically strong. But when it comes to natural creatures, I look a bit closer concerning plausibility.For example, a woman can be a statistical outlier and incredibly strong. But then I assume she has a physique that corresponds to such strength. Ropy lean muscles can be strong. I assume muscles of some kind, and size more likely than not.</blockquote>
