Just a suggestion. Maybe "brawn" might be a suitable name to cover the strength/size mixture you are looking for.

Thanks for the suggestion Breakthrough. I've seen Brawn being used in games in the sense you assign to it. Yet... you know, this is a purely subjective and personal thing but I don't like the word. I mean, I don't like saying "my character has a Brawn of X or Z".

It may sound stupid and possibly it is but I have some personal tastes and distastes for words. For instance, I prefer on purely subjective terms the word 'adroitness' to the word 'coordination'. Don't ask me why, I just prefer it.

No worries.

Glad to see size and mass getting more of a mention. It would certainly make statting animals easier.

That's an important point. It also facilitates stating huge races like giants or tiny ones.
It's not perfect, though. I'm thinking in terms of having an optional set of rules to cover things like different body shapes (slim, stocky, etc.) and the impact of excessive weight due to fat. But that's something that will be handled at a latter stage.

I saw the term "no worries", then I saw the .au on the end of your email address. Go Aussie!
