Instead, imagine if Shadowheart reversed her Str and Dex. That would give her a 14 Str and she would be able to use a one-handed Str based weapon efficiently. It would make her much more useful on the front line, and her ability to use a shield and good armor make up for the small reduction in Dex.
Shadowheart is a Trickster domain Cleric with Sleight of Hand Proficiency. She's meant to double as a Rogue. She needs Dex, not Strength. 14 Dex actually also makes her better at frontlining than Strength would.

This, I agree. Shadow actually had different stats when the EA began -- the new ones are the result of us complaining that she wasn't very good at the whole "subterfuge" part of her persona. I wouldn't give up her new Dex score even for an unrawful Str of 16.
