You are stronger than most people.
This skill confers a permanent increase in the character's maximum carrying capacity. It increases the damage dealt by the character when using bows and thrown weapons. Further, it decreases the Action Point cost when swimming and increases a character's effectiveness with Structural Engineering.
The benefits of Strength are:
- Increase carrying capacity by 20
- Increase damage with bows by +2
- Increase damage with thrown weapons by +1
- If the character also has Swimming, the AP cost of movement in water is reduced to 1 point
- If the character also has Structural Engineering, 15 Hit Points (instead of 10HP) of barricades may be erected for 2 AP.
- If the character also has Structural Engineering, 10 Hit Points (instead of 5HP) of barricades may be removed for 1 AP.
The faction engineer sat at his desk studying his blueprints. He'd drawn and implemented a barricading plan to stymie all but the most determined or the aerially gifted.
Suddenly, a faction mate dashed into his study out of breath.
"Don't tell me. The barbarians are at the gates again?"
Quick nods.
"Must I do everything myself?"
He picked up this bow, quiver, and hard hat. He made way for the barricades pick up several sand bags along the way. Blasts were heard from the other side. Through the holes they'd poked through he could make out a gathering of hyperactive gun enthusiasts.
"This will have to do for now," he said as he covered the breaches with sandbags.
They jeered at the sight of his bow as he climbed over the barricade to greet the gun-toting yahoos. The engineer pulled his bowstring and sent an arrow halfway through a man's shoulder. The laughter stopped.
"Good thing I believe a sound mind belongs in a sound body, " he thought to himself as he continued his volley.
