Just as you wouldn't give a Lalafell a broadsword sized for a Roegadyn, people of different sizes can all be "strong" in different ways.
Do you mean like how an ant is incredibly strong for its size, but a beetle would still be able to overpower it because it's simply much bigger?Â
Or do you mean more like how a smaller person who knows karate can probably win against someone large and bulky who doesn't know how to fight at all?
Both. The concepts are not exclusive and could technically happen in the same characters. There are a handful of Xaela Au Ra in the Steppe who are shown to be just plain -awful- at battle/combat. (Like the one who cooks. And this other Dotharl. etc) Would they necessarily have more strength (brute strength or not) than my Roegadyn who trains his body? Probably not. It doesn't matter if the lore book states "on average [blah blah blah]" if you aren't talking about things in the average.
