If your combat-focussed PC of whatever race has poor hit points, then avoid melee and go ranged instead.D&D is nowhere near as unfair as reality. In D&D, you might not get +2 Str but you can get +2 Dex instead. You can easily play a Dex-based combat PC who is just as effective as a Str-based combat PC.If you want to play a Str based combat PC of a race that does not have a bonus to Str, you chose that! Nobody forced you!And such a choice, like every choice in the game, comes with benefits and drawbacks, even if the drawback is that it wasn't a benefit that you did not choose.Right now I'm building a 1st level PC for Dragon Heist. I'm playing a human rogue with Dex and Cha of 16, and Str and Con of 8, going to choose Swashbuckler at 3rd level.What? Con 8 on a melee rogue? Am I out of my mind?It's my choice. I'm going to have to play to my ahem strengths and protect my weaknesses. Just like every PC ever!</blockquote>
