How important is Strength for Melee combat really?

Well, Shadow of the Demon Lord also has Will, which combines the traditional functions of both Wisdom and Charisma (but not the more recent use of Wisdom to modify perception, which this system gives to Intellect). So you have Strength, Agility, Intellect and Will, and all the necessary functions are covered.

I rather like that model more than the D&D six, which were clearly made up as they went along and then had their functions shifted around to try to balance them better, which is still a work in progress. The SotDL model also shows up in Sharp Swords & Sinister Spells and its sibling game Solar Blades & Cosmic Spells.
