Well for one thing, there shouldn't be TOO much fluxuation in the raw
strength of ogres, but rather the skill. It is possible to work hard
enough and become slightly stronger, but it is somewhat impractical to
think that all these ogres are all significantly stronger in terms of
being able to outdo Bubba in a test of raw strength (where skill is
insignificant). Within that framework, Bubba should still pretty much
retain his ranking amongst the strongest of the smelly brutes, however he
could quite easily lose his place as the most skilled of the brutes. If
you're evaluating level this way, then you have the same problem as if it
were just strength.
