Strength

Strength is one of your character's nine physical stats.

Note that strength does not affect how much you can carry (see endurance).

The following skills are governed by this stat:
 * Club (×2)
 * Agriculture
 * Survival
 * Timbercraft
 * Climbing
 * Skiing
 * Swimming
 * Shield
 * Sword
 * Axe
 * Flail
 * Spear
 * Bow
 * Unarmed

Decent Strength is recommended unless the character is exclusively going to use daggers and crossbows as all the other combat related skills are governed by Strength.
