[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 2189629, member: 232"] Armor: 50 lbs 12 Strength: carry 130lbs So, not all he can carry by a long shot Yes, it is strength dependant. That is why strength adds to attack and damage rolls. But a bad strength score does not gaureentee a lose, the chances of one are incresed by some. But the differences between a 17 and a 10 are only +3, and when rolling a d20 +3 is not that great. It helps but is not enough to ensure victory all the time when without the +3 the character was always going to loose. We had a game with a character with an 8 con. the game went over ten levels, sure she had some problems but she was not ineffective. Most people though are just unwilling to even give them a fair chance. Heck, in my current group we have a cleric with an 8 con. Yet the first death was the 15 con fighter. THe cleric knows his limitations and plays smart so he lived. [/QUOTE]
