  • Noticed my female breton getting "Look at the muscles on you" comments ONLY when wearing the Huntsman Vest (halter thing) and ONLY from male NPCs.  :P
I don't think that affects it, just random. Or..? But if you say that to a woman, I'm not sure if it's a compliment. ;-) It's felt strange hearing it playing a female character... Contrary to hearing "beautiful ma'am", and maybe you'll get a taste of those muscles in the form of a fist if you do say that to a woman. :-) --FMan 16:58, 23 December 2006 (EST)

Health[edit]

Does increasing Strength while leveling-up has affect on how much additional Health you get? 88.222.53.221 07:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC) Corley

No - that's Endurance. –rpehTCE 07:38, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

encumbrance[edit]

hi i was just wondering how much more encumbrance you get from 1 strength point?and mabey it should be listed on the page?--GUM!!! 22:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

It already does- strength x 5. That means 1 point of strength is 5 encumbrance points.--Arch-Mage MattTalk 22:53, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

oh i must of missed it then thanks!--GUM!!! 23:07, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Effects[edit]

Can I assume that an increased Strength does not increase the amount of wear your weapons take, nor increase the amount of repair you do when Armorer-ing them, as it does in Morrowind (where a boosted Strength will break your sword quicker, but also do more "healing" per hammer strike when fixing them)? I haven't seen anything suggesting this, and just want to confirm. Thanks 75.47.108.141 09:31, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

My brief experiments show that a character with a strength of 65 wears out a rusty iron dagger no faster than someone with a 30 strength (and equal Blade skill). Armorer is affected by Strength, though, as the 65 strength guy yields a higher repair percentage per "strike" on a given item than a character with 30 strength and equal Armorer skill. 75.62.196.146 23:25, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
