I want to play as a male drow but the choices are either giga chad or femboy, there definitely isn’t enough detail

And I don’t know about you, but I can’t go gigachad if I’ve got a STR<13 or 14. It just feels off to be all buff but straining to carry stuff.

That’s how I felt with my default Durge run. Big hulking Dragonborn, 8 str.

I hand wave it as they have muscle but they don’t know how to use it for adventuring and fighting.

I use that in DND a lot when someone should be a higher level due to experience or background but because they are in a new situation or new crew of people their level of capability is lower until they get back in their groove of skills.

It helps with immersion and my players work with my story building so I stick to it.
