[quote=Joytex] Where I would draw the line is that I really dislike the sterotypical fantasy warrior woman, I'm fine with the female knight being able to match the blokes blow for blow, but its breaking it for me if they're do so with the slim physique of a supermodel. I guess that is a little unfair as muscular/scarred men are generally considered attractive but I think things would get too divorced from reality otherwise.

That's usually people living out ideals or trying to make a character that gets attention (and it does work, in some cases). A lot of RP protagonists have a tendency to be young, able, and attractive.
But anyone doing that work isn't going to have a supermodel figure. If anyone is expected to be considered seriously as a notable combatant, they need to have the set up skills, experience, etc. to meet it. It's the same as expecting a long starved kid, nothing but bone and skin, to take down a bear. Unless the RP's IC has certain rules that change up what should be expected, and there are different factors in what makes a good close-range fighter/tank/etc..
