How Physically Strong is the Warrior of Light?

[Cleretic]

It's worth remembering that all the races we can play as have the ability to bolster their techniques with aether, so while it feels both plausible and useful to declare some sort of average/expected 'floor' for the WoL, it honestly isn't; we can, literally, punch as hard as the context calls for. That isn't a protagonist thing or a heroism thing, that's just how most humans in this setting work. (RIP Garleans)

What I do think is a little exceptional there is that the WoL's baseline says that they're clearly quite good at that aetheric manipulation of physical ability; even the weediest dork of a job we've got (which my character's stats say is Black Mage by a good like 30 points at level 100) can hold off Susano's sword, do sick extreme sports stunts in Hildibrand, and as we've stated, carries way more things than we reasonably need.

If I were to REALLY dork out on this I'd actually zero in on quests like Beast of Burden, where we physically carry a thing for a limited amount of time; of all things, those quests are the ones that suggest we have a limit of physical strength and stamina, and we might be able to work out a plausible 'sans-manipulation average' by figuring out how heavy those things tend to be.
