STRENGTH Your strength rating represents how much you can lift, carry, and how hard you can hit someone. With 6 being the maximum for a human (such as Hans and Franz), a troll with a strength of 10 quite easily out-arm wrestles such heroes. Strength can be important in melee combat, where a weapons damage is directly related to your strength. It does not however affect your skill in using a melee weapon, unless you don't have either an armed or unarmed combat skill (in which case, your skill is slightly based on your strength). Strength is also used along with Body for deciding if you can wield a heavy weapon without a gyroharness. The minimum Body and Strength ratings to perform such an action are 8. See Also: ATTRIBUTES
