[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8744784, member: 6701124"] If I were entrusted with destroying the worlds most popular RPG by injecting a lot of my own ideas with no oversight... [SPOILER]I might start by wondering about replacing Str and Con with a "Fitness" ability. And then carrying capacity, weapons useable, and hitpoints would come from that combined with a size/build category of some sort. Could make the three physical stats be Fitness, Agility, and Dexterity. But then it feels like "Fitness" of a sort and "Size/Build" are both related to the agility part of Dex for what humans do too? So could have Fitness and Size/Built be two proto-stats that helped determine Str, Agility, and Toughness. But didn't determine Dexterity (the aimy part of agility) or Stamina (the cardio/disease/poison parts of Con). And I will admit that it feels odd to have anything called fitness that didn't relate to Stamina... But now I'm up to five physical stats with two proto-stats... I guess Str and Toughness could be combined (that seems to be a common suggestion). This would give Strength, Agility, Dexterity, and Stamina and could just have Strength and Agility be restricted by the Size/Build of the character and not need the idea of underlying fitness show up anywhere.[/SPOILER][I] (Note: Spoiler hides things that belong in another thread and would derail this one.)[/I] Anyway, Feels like a rabbit hole for the current game! And can you imagine how this place would blow up if they proposed it? So that's why I can see WotC just going with not caring about how size matters. [/QUOTE]
