[quote=Xurtan] Its funny because people will unironically say half orcs should be stronger than humans when one of the sample backgrounds for the barbarian is literally a human Jojo walking up to a frost giant.
Humans are also exactly as strong as half-orcs when they want to be with Variant Human. Which basically means all other races are forced into specific attribute allocations EXCEPT precious, special humanity who can train to be as strong as a half-orc or as smart as a gnome if they want, but no other race can.
To me, it's all kind of silly. This is a world where a human can take hits from an 80,000-pound flying reptile and stay standing, but the idea of a three-and-a-half-foot-tall person being as strong as a six-foot-tall person is absolute madness that destroys all sense of reality.
