| Apr 16, 2015 at 17:36 | comment | added | harlandski | NateKerkhofs and @nvoigt I've tried to summarize the main points of your conversation in a note at the end of my answer. My experience of playing AD&D 2e confirms nvoigt's that strength above 18 was extremely rare. | |

Added note about Str 19 from comments

| Apr 16, 2015 at 16:30 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | Tables can be made using preformatted text block markup like so. (It's sometimes too ugly to be worthwhile, but when only a table will do, it's better than no table at all.) | |
| Apr 16, 2015 at 15:56 | comment | added | Nzall | @nvoigt Sorry, I didn't see the link. | |
| Apr 16, 2015 at 15:54 | comment | added | nvoigt | @NateKerkhofs Read the link in the answer above? There is a table that goes beyond 18/00. | |
| Apr 16, 2015 at 15:51 | comment | added | Nzall | @nvoigt In this particular setting, you could generate a half-orc with +1 STR, so a max STR of 19 on creation (baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Races#Half-Orc). How does that compare to 18/00? | |
| Apr 16, 2015 at 15:46 | comment | added | nvoigt | @NateKerkhofs Yes, but... the usual means of getting a higher attribute apply: race, magic items or special conditions. However, they were rare. As in rare. I cannot remember a race getting a strength bonus in the basic rules. Dark Sun and the elves (of all races) had some options. You did not get higher attributes with higher level. That left magical items. Gauntlets of Ogre Power or Giant Strength. But in 2e, magic items are not as abundant as in 3.5e or 4e. Depending on your GM, you might not find one of those for your whole adventuring life. | |
| Apr 16, 2015 at 15:19 | comment | added | Nzall | @harlandski Is it possible to have STR above 18/00? like 19 or 20 or even more STR? | |
