Strength

Strength is a measure of raw physical power, brute force, resistance to physical damage, and endurance in combat. High strength allows a creature to inflict more damage when engaged in melee combat and to endure longer fights. Additionally, it allows the creature to carry more weight before becoming burdened. It also grants a significant bonus to maximum life, and is used as a requirement to equip heavy armors and weapons.

A character heavily focused on Strength wants to end a fight as quickly as possible with a small amount of devastating hits, stunning and knocking down its opponents, especially as it often lacks the physical and mental resources to sustain lengthy battles.

Reaching a Strength score of 20 gives the character a unique powerful boost to melee damage.
