Strength is a measure of how strong your character is. This modifies how much weight you can carry and how hard you hit, both in ordinary combat and using specialized battle skills based on strength. (When creating a character, keep in mind that fighter classes (W, A, P) have a chance of getting an additional percentile score over 18 strength, for example 18/49. If you are interested in keeping your re-rolling to a minimum in hopes of achieving 7 to perfect characters, you may wish to start out with one of these fighter classes in order to enjoy the strength/add benefits.)
The highest possible natural strength is 18/100 (18 and 100% strength-additional).
Remort characters can increase their strength past 18 using the formula (18 + <number of remorts>), to the maximum strength of 25 (18 + 7 remorts).
Skills Bonus[]
Certain melee skills are enhanced by exceptional strength. The antipaladin skills, Shield Bash and Shield Charge reward exceptional strength with additional damage bonus.
You can review your current damage bonus using the spell 'information' or by visiting at any phrenologist's shop, located in Midgaard, New Thalos and Skara Brae, through the "buy analysis" command. Costs for the service will vary by player character level.
