The only real problems I've encountered are with the language rules.
I don't care how many points you put into a language, if you didn't
grow up with it, you can't call it "native". Minor houserule, replace
"native" with "fluent" for those languages you learn later in life...

I also tend to double the number of levels of language... just for a
little more granularity.

As far as Str goes...  In my PhantaSea campaign (magical, flying,
planetraveling, pirate-ship-from-hell!) I had one PC that seemed to
have the goal of acquiring as many possilble different melee weapons
that he could wield with one hand... then buying up Str to get a
larger selection of larger weapons...
The prize of the collection, what we called the SurfSword... 3ft wide,
10ft long, made of titanium and enchanted to shrink to longsword-size
when sheathed... but expand to full size when drawn.  (what can I
say... he's an anime fan!)
