Edit: Picked a poor example skill.

Most skills already have success/failure criteria that involve other stats. So an elf may have good technique (high Pincer skill percentage), but still won't Pincer as well as a giant with a much lower skill percentage.

In the long run, the giant comes out ahead, because the technique part (high skill) can be slowly mastered, whereas the elf has no way to make up the STR advantage.

Forcing everything to swing on STR isn't a direction we'll head in.
