I find it odd/interesting that these discussions on how to translate Str score into real world metrics (jumping distance, deadlift, bench press, throwing distance, etc.) come up fairly often.
Sometimes Int gets discussed as correlating to IQ, probably because in a previous edition it was defined as IQ/10.
But what about Dexterity, Constitution, Charisma, and Wisdom? I'm sure I've missed discussions, but I've never once seen anybody try to correlate those scores to anything actually measurable. ("Your Dexterity modifier is the number of bowling bins you can juggle.")
It seems we all just accept those other four scores as more abstract. How nice if we could treat Str and Int the same way.
