In Papashan's case though, they never show raw, physical strength. They show Papashan is skilled and well-trained in combat.Â
The two miner Lalafell from 1.0 have been written as being the exceptions to the rule though, as their character bios specifically state that they were able to throw a full-grown Hyur.Â
But let's say a Roegadyn and a Lalafell had an arm-wrestling fight? I would find it hard to believe the Lalafell would 1)remain in their (because English provides us no gender-neutral term) seat, 2)not have a crunched arm due to the amount of physical stress that would wreak upon their smaller frames.Â
As Warren stated, he's not really looking for something that proves a Lalafell is just as good at combat as any other race. (We know game balance and skill/training would account for that). Now if we take into account some of the other Lalafell we see, many of them are either mages or crafters.Â
We know Lalafell are gifted with extremely good aether manipulation (except Cocobusi), and many are Thaumaturges. At least as far as the Coco-bros go, physical combat terrified them. Especially against anything larger than they were.Â
If we turn to look at some other prominent NPCs, we've got the PGL NPC, but that's skill > power, and we've got Momodi, who shows no combat, and then we've got Tataru, who mines (tools), and the BTN leader, Fufucha (more tools). Â
There simply isn't enough evidence to really prove either way.
