SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Strength should always matter in RPGs, and Males are stronger on average.

My only knowledge of Conan comes from the films. While he may not be the strongest man in the world, he is without question the greatest bodybuilder of the Hyborian Age! :D

Quote from: Alexander Kalinowski;1105735Thak. Though I will concede that, while Conan considered him a man, not beast, he probably had some hefty racial strength modifiers. So, not really a counterexample.
Indeed:
Quote from: REHIt was no man that stood before me! In body and posture it was not unlike a man, but from the scarlet hood of the priest grinned a face of madness and nightmare! It was covered with black hair, from which small pig-like eyes glared redly; its nose was flat, with great flaring nostrils; its loose lips writhed back, disclosing huge yellow fangs, like the teeth of a dog. The hands that hung from the scarlet sleeves were misshapen and likewise covered with black hair.
Quote from: REHSome would call him an ape, but he is almost as different from a real ape as he is different from a real man.
When Conan says "I have slain a man tonight, not a beast", he is referring to the creature having a soul, not a human physiology.
Old School? Back in my day we just called it "School."
