Description:
This ability grants the character a permanent increase in their base strength. Creatures that already have +1 Strength due to racial advantages will start purchase at Rank 2 of this ability, as they are considered to already have this level. This skill allows a character to physically hit harder with a melee or thrown weapon causing one additional point of damage. This does not transfer to firearms; however it can transfer to specially made bows and crossbows. This ability gives the character no other advantages and does not cost Skill Points to use.
