Hi there, going to add some points here,

The first is that males tend to be stronger then females irl, but one thing I find intresting is that a female can carry more weight in comparison on muscelmass and body-weight then male. If you take in calculation that a female's gear would have lesser weight then the gear of a male, in most cases the female should be abel to carry more while having armor and weapons.

British military had some tests in these areas and I think the US army had some tests here too, dont find a link, sorry. So you have to trust me on the word...


The second is that a game of rpg where males and females are treated the same is for me boring and I find it unrealistic. I dont care mutch about stats and things but the world should react diffrent if I play a female or if I play a male.. mostly because the irl world meet boys and girls in diffrent ways.
Some may see this as sexistiskt (dont know if this is the right word in english) and unnecessary but this is the world today and if you dont consider this in a rpg you lose much of the roleplaying.
