I've just returned from a most enjoyable excursion into the roof to investigate some dusty boxes.   I was sent up the ladder because the boy couldn't move himself around up there and was scared he'd put his foot through the plaster; it's a job for someone lightweight, flexible and agile with good balance.  The translation into RPG terms is irresistible: I'm a low-Strength, high-Dexterity character class and should probably take up archery, martial arts and tumbling.  It's a pity that there are so many more occasions for fridge-lifting and furniture removals than for roofspace investigations, so the clumsy musclebound types get the glory.  Can I complain that real life is imbalanced?

I am envisioning your World of Warcraft character as I read this and I totally see it you little night elf you!

I would say, however, that trapeze artists fit that billing and do receive plenty of credit and deservingly so. Perhaps there are fewer material rewards, but you can also rest assured that smaller people, on average, live a lot longer because their hearts are less taxed over a lifetime. So I would say you have a lot going for you!
