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.
