I was initially unsatisfied with the 2d8 for STR as well, and considered both a 4d6 drop one with a -2 modifier or a 3d8 drop one. Then I realized that with the former they'll just put in a higher score to STR to offset the penalty, and with the latter people will nearly always take the higher possible score. Meaning that you'll never get kids at the lower age range. You'll end up with all 10-12 year olds.

I liked the suggestion someone made to allow the PLAYERS to trade STR scores to allow them to play the archetypes they want. That way the full range of STR scores is still possible and present, they'll just be going to where they make more sense for each player's character.
