Strength
Strength (or Str) is one of three attributes, along with Intelligence and Dexterity. Strength is required to equip most armour-granting armour, as well as most melee weapons, sceptres, and their associated skills. Characters gain +2 maximum life per strength.
Base stats
Characters start with a certain amount of base strength based on their character class.
- Pure strength character classes (Marauder and Warrior) start with 15 Strength.
- Hybrid strength character classes (Templar, Druid, Duelist, and Mercenary) start with 11 Strength.
- All other non-strength character classes start with 7 Strength.
Strength provides an inherent bonus of +2 maximum life per 1 strength.
- This inherent bonus can be changed to grant 1% increased Energy Shield per 2 strength through the Circular Teachings keystone from
Heroic Tragedy.
