[QUOTE="Psimancer, post: 2101286, member: 13037"] ROFLMAO… I have to agree here, whole heartedly. In addition to the main reasons posted (to heft the weapon, muscular endurance, penetrating armour & game balance), I would also like to add another; Tendency. Generally (Yes, this is a generalisation!), the stronger you are, the more likely it is that you will resolve conflict with violence. (An intelligent man will think his way out of a situation, a dexterous one will evade it and a charismatic one will talk his way through…) So what you end up with is a strong guy who is more likely to have fought in his past and have more experience in combat. And more experience equates to more likely to successfully strike. Therefore [I][B]High STR = Bonus To Hit[/B][/I] I would agree that this reason alone does not make a compelling case, but taken in conjunction with the other factors, it does work. And it also gives reason why strength is still used for touch attacks… And on Particle Mans post, who are the bullies at school? The quick, dexterous guys or the big meathead jocks??? [/QUOTE]
