Is there a reason realism cannot be a part of balance?
Women are generally about half as strong as men (strength stat deficit)... but are more dexterous (+x on hit rolls), and have a higher tolerance for pain (endurance stat buff).They're also very limber in comparison... conferring that is somewhat harder to do (don't want to overbuff female tanks). For D&D in particular: there are at least dozens of different races... and this could potentially be taken into consideration on each.
... A bonus on (nonspell?) hit rolls may alone be significant enough for 1/2 strength to be quith playable... additional endurance may not be necessary, but may as well reflect it. Men can have an agility buff if more balance is needed
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
