Just so people don't freak out and have time to prepare when creating their characters and whatnot, as well as in advising and planning ahead, at some point in the near future, the battle #s will be changing, the main effect of which is that both DEX and STR will not be nearly as overwhelmingly dominant as they currently are, and weapon attack rating will be much more important than it is now.
So when this happens in a few days or weeks or a month, don't go whining about how you have been giving your character tons of strength and now it is just a slight bonus instead of the basis for your awesomeness... because I am warning you now.
