+*Reduces the impact of [[encumbrance]], from both [[body armour]] and [[shield]]s. This lowers the penalty on [[ev]]asion, spellcasting success, and [[ranged weapon]] attack speed.
 A high strength score can go a long way toward allowing you to cast spells or dodge attacks while wearing heavy armour/shields, and significant boosts to strength (e.g. an artefact with +10 strength) will boost melee damage considerably. However, the defensive boosts from [[dexterity]] are helpful for any character.

 *Prior to [[0.27]], the Strength modifier was more complex. For STR > 10, you had a <code>100 + ([[random2]](STR - 9) * 2)</code>% multiplier, while for STR < 10, your damage was <code>100 - (random2(11 - STR) * 3)</code>. (10 STR still equaled 100% damage)
 *Prior to [[0.20]], many forms (like [[Statue Form]]) had extra scaling with strength.
