(hope its right word, used google for that sentence)
And i would hate to see my "sinewy" character to turn into hulk, just bcs i use Str as main stat. :-/

I'm also reminded of casting Sylvester Stallone as Judge Dredd; whatever one's other criticisms of the film (and there are many), he was absolutely the wrong guy for the role. Dredd was never supposed to be young(ish) and muscular, he was intended to be a Dirty Harry Of The Future™, if anything older and nastier, but someone who dispensed justice by wit (and firepower), not physical strength.

Okay, strictly speaking, the character was named after Judge Dread, a reggae musician whose amusingly vulgar lyrics predated Viz, but y'know.

Er anyway, that's not that I agree with the basic premise that there should be different body types, just not necessarily automatically selected based on stats. That's one of the things I didn't especially like about the Fable series, for instance.

We do not speak of the Stallone Judge Dredd movie! The only movie that exists is the Dredd movie with Karl Urban.
