If you want the high strength just grab yourself a half-orc (19). You get the added bonus of an extra point in constitution and what you lose is not important for fighters and thieves. One little note of interest though. I built up my typical strong, agile, healthy fighter by swapping stats out of intelligence and charisma (I try to keep some in wisdom for better resistance) and ended up with a character that kicks but everywhere but near a mindflayer That lower intelligence attack killed me time and again.
