Help Index :: Attributes :: Strength Strength is one of the five basic character stats (Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, and Constitution). Strength determines how much weight you can carry, as well as how hard and how often you can swing your weapons. Some obstacles may only be overcome by brute strength, like the moving of a boulder or lifting of a giant chain. Strength is of vital importance to warriors, who must wear heavy armor to survive, and who are usually counted on to perform such feats of strength. Paladins, rangers, and monks may also find that a higher strength can be put to good use.
