Attribute: Strength

Strength is a raw measure of a character’s muscular prowess. As a character’s Strength rating increases they become more capable of performing more demanding physical maneuvers. Each Strength rating listed below includes a description of a physical feat a character may perform without a roll of the dice. Strength is used when you attempt to swim, space-walk, jump, lift, carry, push, heave or break something. In the case of brawling (hand-to-hand combat) and melee combat (combat with physical as opposed to energy-based weapons) the Strength attribute is added to the damage dice pool.
