I dislike the PF system for several reasons.

It implies that around 20% of 8 year-olds will be stronger than the average adult, assuming all stats are generated using the 4d6h3 system. It also fails to address children below the age of 8. Furthermore, it doesn't solve the issue of children not having HD until they take class levels.

I think a percentage-based system is better at representing the growth of a child over time.
