excellent point, eew. although i couldnt have articulated it so well, i've always been a big fan of double ankhs of strength on my melee'rs.
correct me if i'm wrong, but setting aside weapon/academic combat skills, dex and senses both contribute to chance to hit and chance to penetrate, while strength will only help penetrate once you've hit.
so if you're already hitting regularly (eg due to high combat skills), strength boosts alone might be enough to ensure pentration. but if you're missing a fair bit, then dex/sen boosts are called for.
sorry, eew, i may be repeating what you said in a different way.
