So my strenth is 20, and has been as long as I can remember. It's so far behind my other stats, that I am starting to feel an itch to train it. But I am wondering what use it has to empaths. Am I missing out on anything by not training strength?
I have no burden.
I have never found someone I cannot drag.
I can swim the faldesu and the creek to rossmans, which is everywhere I'd want to swim.
I guess I could use it for climbing (does it boost that?), but I'm 250 ranks away from the next thing I want to be able to climb anyway, so it seems like blowing into the wind.
Not sure what other bonuses there are to strength, but if someone could let me know whether I'm severely gimping myself by not training it, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

You feel that for the moment you've learned all you can about harming shopkeepers.
It also plays a role in shield usage and the caster's side of a spell vs. stamina contest (Lethargy and Nissa's Binding). I hear good strength is also beneficial in forging. Oh, and I guess it probably factors into armwrestling. Whether or not any of that will make you want to train it is beyond my ability to judge.

My strength is currently 47. Hope to have it at 50 someday, but for an olvi, strength is incredibly expensive.
Right now, strength plays a huge role in forging. This was my main incentive to raise it. Who know what it'll be like when the lore split happens though. Burden was my second incentive. I hated being in combat and getting burdened after the first few skins i'd bundle up. Another "perk", if ya wanna call it that, is that no snert could walk up and drag me anywhere. It takes someone with at least equal strength to mine to be able to drag me if i'm standing and have no status effects goin on(stunned and such). I've found some cases where this is a total hinderance though. Oh ya, I've never lost an arm-wrestling match either...hehe.
