====== Strength (STR) ======
Strength represents the measure of the physical strength or how much can your character lift and how many push-ups can it do? As a result it directly affects the following character stats:

  * [[characters:Dam]]
  * [[characters:Speed]]
  * [[characters:weapon_speed|Weapon Speed]]
  * [[characters:WC|Weapon Class]] - # renamed from thaco_bonus, since thaco (really thac0) is an acronym for 'to hit AC 0' - in old AD&D, it was a literal number.  This bonus here is to hit any [[:characters:AC]].
  * [[characters:carrying_capacity|Carry Capacity]]

It is also used in the following [[:skills]]: 

  * [[skills:Jumping]] for //reach// 1 or 2 tiles
  * [[skills:Clawing]] for //Dam// and //Wc//
  * [[skills:Flame Touch]] for //Dam// and //Wc//
  * [[skills:Karate]] for //Dam// and //Wc//
  * [[skills:One Handed Weapons]] for //Dam// and //Wc//
  * [[skills:Punching]] for //Dam// and //Wc//
  * [[skills:Two Handed Weapons]] for //Dam// and //Wc//
  * [[skills:Throwing]] for //Dam// , //chance of breaking// , //reach// , //speed//
  * [FIXME] <- more to add here

A [[:characters]] strength can be permanently improved by using:
  * Strength [[items:potion:|Potions]]
