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.
