D&D General what if we tied Str to Speech ?

[le Redoutable]

I know Speech is often related to Cha, then to lift gates strong men often use Speech to help them achieve their goal;
moreover, Might and Music could well design the bonds between Str and Cha
voilà !



( worth 20 seconds of attention lol )

What about AC and Wisdom. Start after 5th level since you need a few levels to wisen up.

 

[le Redoutable]

then ( even if very unpopular )

Warrior - Might <===== Cha
Acrobat - Ossature <== Dex
Yoghi --- Energy <==== Con
Creator - Intuition <= Int
Orator -- Toughness <==Str
Thinker - Empathy <=== Wis

??!

well, it comes from this topic :

D&D General - my version of the six stats (sorry if I use much of Internet space )

 

[le Redoutable]

Yoghi x Thinker ( Energy x Empathy ) ===> Druid 's Fauna & Flora lore

There's a certain thematic parallel here- strong physically, strong mentally, strong will, strong voice. It's something I'd like to see on a "Commander" subclass- Powerful Voice: when you raise your voice, it carries far, and others listen- even if unconscious! The DC for someone to hear your voice is reduced by your Strength modifier, if you so choose, and the distance it carries is multiplied by your Strength modifier. When using Strong Voice, you gain advantage on Intimidate and Persuasion checks.

A strong person who knows Sign Language could definitely beat you up with their words.

That reminds me of an old turn based strategy game, Warlock. It has a spell called holy word, and when you cast it, giant glowing letters fall on the target: H O L Y.

EDIT: or maybe it was W O R D, my memory ain't what it used to be.
