Level Up (A5E) Strength vs Dexterity imbalance cannot be solved without addressing the Melee vs Ranged Imbalance.

I've been tinkering with:

Note: Only Str mod is added to weapon damage (save loading weapons), never Dex.

Variant: Weapon Damage Dice by Class
When making a melee weapon attack, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack roll.
When wielding a weapon in two-hands, the weapon damage dice increases by one step. For example, if a fighter is wielding a longsword in two-hands, the damage dice increases from 1d10 to 1d12.
