TTRPGS ARE AN ABSTRACTION OF AN ABSTRACTION. A STORY IS ALREADY AN ABSTRACTION OF REALITY AND THE TOOLS AND RULES THAT A TTRPG GIVES YOU TO PLAY WITH ARE ABSTRACTIONS OF THAT STORY. EVERY WORD USED SHOULD COUNT. YOU DO NOT GET A HOCKEY STICK WITH YOUR CHESS SET. WHAT KIND OF STORIES ARE WE TELLING THAT THE 'STRENGTH' OF MY CHARACTER IS ONE OF THEIR MOST RELEVANT TRAITS. EVEN IN THE MOST TRAD OF TRAD SWORD AND SORCERY PULP NOVELS A HERO'S BRAVERY AND MOTIVATION MATTERED MORE. IF STRENGTH IS JUST GOING TO BE USED AS A PROXY FOR SKILL WITH THE BLADE THEN WHY NOT SIMPLY MAKE SKILL WITH THE BLADE THE CATEGORY WITH WHICH OUR MORTAL HANDS CAN TOUCH AND MAKE LEGIBLE THE PLATONIC IDEALS OF THE STORYWORLD?
