Strength is one of three statistics, or "stats", that constitute a character's "physical" form. The amount of strength a character possesses determines his or her Hit Points, melee damage, carrying capacity, and the types of weapons, shields, and armor that can be used. Strength, along with a host of other information, is displayed on the Character Status Menu.

Strength Requirement

Armor, Shields, and weapons all possess an Item Property entitled Strength Requirement. Stated plainly, not just anyone can wear Plate Armor, swing a Maul, or tote a large Heater Shield. The strength requirement is the minimum strength required to equip the item in question.

Strength Bonus

Another Item Property that affects strength is the Strength Bonus, which imparts a one-for-one increase in a character's base strength statistic. The non-artifact range for Strength bonus is +1 to +8. There are items that when equipped, reduce a character's strength (e.g., the Evil Orc Helm).

Other's Strength

A character can use the Anatomy skill to assess the strength, and other attributes, of creatures, NPCs, and other players. A practitioner of Anatomy will see the following strength message in-game; the table below includes a range for the applicable strength statistic:

Strength Message Target’s Strength
Rather feeble 1-10
Somewhat weak 11-20
To be of normal strength 21-30
Somewhat strong 31-40
Very strong 41-50
Extremely strong 51-60
Extraordinarily strong 61-70
Strong as an ox 71-80
One of the strongest people you have ever seen 81-90
Superhumanly strong 91-100
Stronger than anything you have ever seen 101+
