If it is that easy for the DM to swing the odds, then why are you worried about 5%? What if the stronger character does get a +2 sword, and you don't. And they were 5% stronger to begin with. Has the DM just ruined the game? As for feats, you made my point. What if that stronger person chooses something not optimal? Is that allowed? Is that fighter allowed to take the Mobile feat because they want to move faster, thus allowing the weaker person to catch up in strength? What if that fighter took Alert, or heaven forbid, Linguist? I do not know the make up of your table, but I can assure you there are plenty of people out there that don't always choose the optimal feat. Heck, some don't even put their ASI in optimal stats, but instead choose to become more charismatic or intelligent, even when it doesn't serve their combat statistics. Because in the end, that is all this discussion is about. You are spot on. I was comparing two different things. Sorry, logic escaped me for the moment.</blockquote>
