I would also like to play a High Elf Eldritch Knight with a starting Strength of 16 to be on par with other Fighters. But I guess having to wait until level 8 to have 20 Strength isn't the end of the world. Won't get any feats until 12 though. That's why I think all level 1 characters should get one extra feat. And that 5.5e should separate ASI's and feats again. What's the point of feats if you can't afford to pick them until high levels, and even then ASI's are tough competition?
It sucks High Elves don't make for better EK's, because it seems like their thing.
