I have aways struggled with this in my mind.
When ST:TOS was being aired, super-strong aliens were indeed super-strong. I remmember seem Spock doing things like smash panels, bend metal bars with a punch etc.
I remmember kirk being ass-kicked by super strong Cristopher Loyd klingon.
But as the show went on, and specially with ST:TNG and ST:Voyager they seem to intentionaly forget that. They may mention that "vultans are 3 times stronger than humans" but we have seem Belana wrestling the vulcan ensign with equal force (same way kirk did with Spock years before).
To me it looks very bad on the screen, but I guess its the price we pay for a looooooong continuity line. I can live with that.
But we come to RPG its a problem to me. RPGs put numbers in character stats, so its literaly "writen in stone".
What I try to do when I make a vulcan character for example is spend my points (no mater the system) to make it stronger, but its never really super human. But obviously it costs a lot.
I was wondering: strenght and stamina are not that important in most futuristic scenarios, as Data showed us. Hes like a kryptonian (kidding), but how many times his streght realy made the diference? I mean its not DnD. If you can stand bullets (like Data in First Contact) so what?
The Founders limitless abilities indeed scares me as a DM.
I was would like to hear from you guys if you ever stoped to think about that...
