STR

Strength affects the physical melee attack power of a character. The higher your strength, the more damage you do by swinging fists, books, swords, maces, and axes. Strength also increases the limit on the weight of items a character can be carrying.

Strength will often be abbreviated as STR.

This is what Strength does in more detail:

Increases melee attack damage by 1 per point of STR. Also increases melee attack damage by [STR/10]^2, where the value in [ ] is rounded down and ^2 means squared. Increases missile attack damage by 1 per 5 full points of STR. Increases weight capacity by 30 per point of STR (Note that this only applies to base STR, which is the left value in the status window).
