Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 6813779" data-attributes="member: 58172">Give an example, of nonmuscular agility.Even agility in the sense of running fast, requires strong muscles.With regard to Human gender, reallife males have an edge in body agility, including gymnastic and tumbling. This corresponds to D&D Strength.Oppositely, females have an edge in fine motor skills. This corresponds to D&D Dexterity.I wouldnt implement this gender tendency in D&D mechanics, because the heroes themselves are statistical outliers.A person can be very strong and not good at typing. This is the difference between Strength and Dexterity.Something like dancing skills, depend on Strength, Dexterity, and Charisma, depending on the nature of the dance. In general, athletes tend to do better at dancing.If you are talking examples where people are physically challenged, by neurological conditions that affect cognition or the nervous system, then in D&D, these kinds of penalties to ability checks would be represented by a Disease, or perhaps a flaw.Really, weightlifting has less to with the Strength ability, and more to do with the Athletic skill. The same person with the same aptitude for Strength, may or may not be able to lift a certain amount of weight depending on whether they have been working out recently or not. An athlete may or may not be bodybuilder. As long as they are at least strong enough to locomote their own bodyweight, they can do so proficiently.To be bodily agile or manually precise, are unrelated skills.</blockquote>
