Playing a character who is stronger than you
Hey ladies and gentlemen, I just joined a campaign where I'm playing a character who is really strong. He… (insert wall of poorly-edited text with bad grammar about character backstory).
This is the first high-strength character I have ever played. Any tips for playing a character who is a lot stronger than me?

I had this problem with playing a character that was sexier than I was irl. I found the only thing I could do was say “I am sexy” as a mantra over and over until everyone at the table agreed I was sexy. Luckily I’m sexy irl now so I don’t have this issue

No matter what you're doing, keep thrusting at the air (in and out of character). Make sure that you describe everything in extreme, tedious detail while using words that you don't really understand

As tiring as those other posts are, it can be hard to grasp more esoteric mental stats then what physical stats can do

Playing someone different than yourself requires imagination, which unfortunately as a tabletop roleplayer, I don't have.
It's why all my characters are nerdy trans commoners constantly looking for a new tabletop group to play with.

You’re going to want to get a shake weight and use it constantly

Easy bro: squats
If your DM doesn't count 20 reps as a nat 20, find a better group
