Interesting point, sultan! Here's another thought:

I don't want a distinction between male and female! Why, you ask? Well, simply because I want to set up my party the way I like it without suffering disadvantages. E.g., I really NEED 2 casters, Marduk and Tiamat, which are male and female resp., but I don't want any of the two to be "worse" than the other, which would be the case if, like you suggest, males are stronger, but dumber than females. So in order to be able to apply the make the characters of my party have the sexes I want them to have, I really like that there's no difference, because otherwise I'd have to think about something like "I want the bishop to be male, but females are better suited for this class", and I don't want that! So,keep it the way it is, I like it [img]smile.gif[/img]

On the other hand, the same would apply to races as well, but I don't fell unhappy with certain races being better suited to a certain class than others, so I'm not really sure why the same kind of "individuallity" would bother me in the question of the sexes....

Cheers
Philipp

P.S.: Now that I read my post, I'm not sure if I am to write "sex" or "gender", so please read the one that suits, even if I used the wrong one (be gentle, I'm german [img]smile.gif[/img] )
