So much common sense stuff was in adnd 1e. I remember being annoyed at … was it the first book of BECMI or 2e or 3e(?) (or just my incorrect friends ) where a halfling could have max strength. Pretty sure 3.5e at least did a -2 str and plus 2 dex for them or something.
Via Willy Muffin’s yt “review- advanced dungeons & dragons 1st edition” : at time 36:50

Strength Table I.
14 was max str possible for a female halfling character
15 was max str poss for a female gnome character
At time 43:45 talks about min 12 CON for dwarfs etc Then takes the “just ignore the male female limits stuff… misogyny”. Well… there is a level of realism there, it’s not anti-female just physics, so… seems ok to me. I mean a female character could get a magical device to get super strength and thatd make sense.

Unearthed Arcana pros and cons at about time 1:03:00 to 1:05:00. Cavaliers for example. And much earlier he said paladines were probably overpowered too.
