| − | Like all attributes, strength ranges between 3 and 25. However, as in early editions of ''Dungeons & Dragons'', strength has the unique property that values between 18 and 19 are given in ''percentage'' terms rather than jumping straight from 18 to 19, as with other attributes. For example, a strength of 18/35 means roughly that one is 35% of the way between 18 strength and 19 strength. Depending on race, characters can attain a maximum strength of 18, 18/50 or 18/** (which stands for 18/100) in their natural form, and need [[gauntlets of power]] or a [[ring of gain strength]] to increase strength to 19 or more. However, for gameplay purposes, there are not very many differences between a strength of 18/** and a strength of 25. Specifically, increasing your strength from 18/** to 25 will increase your [[encumbrance|carrying capacity]] (but only if your constitution is less than 17), make objects [[throw]]n or [[kick]]ed by you travel further, and allow you to throw [[Mjollnir]] if you have it.

| − | ===Uses of strength===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Strength is required for the following activities:
| |
| − |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Strength affects the following activities:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Greater strength usually allows you to carry more inventory without being [[encumbrance|encumbered]].{{reffunc|hack.c|weight_cap}}

| |
| − | * Greater strength increases the range for [[throw]]ing objects.{{refsrc|dothrow.c|943}}{{refsrc|dothrow.c|1739}}
| |
| − | * Greater strength speeds opening [[tin]]s.{{refsrc|eat.c|1182}}
| |
| − | * Strength greater than 18 makes it possible to shatter a door when kicking it instead of just breaking it open.{{refsrc|dokick.c|1054}}
| |
| − | * Greater strength allows better accuracy when fighting and increases damage per hit, as shown by the following table:<ref name="abon"/>{{reffunc|weapon.c|dbon}}

| − | ===Strength in game formulas===
| |
| − | Some of the game formulas require strength to be an integer between 3 and 25 (without percentages). When that is needed, ''[[NetHack]]'' will map strengths between 18/01 and 21 as follows:{{reffunc|attrib.c|acurrstr}}
| |
| − |

| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | This mapping is used for:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Calculating [[Encumbrance|carrying capacity]]{{refsrc|hack.c|2162}}
| |
| − | *Calculating the damage done by kicking{{refsrc|dokick.c|34}}
| |
| − | *Calculating the maximum distance traveled by [[throw|thrown]] or [[kick|kicked]] objects{{refsrc|dokick.c|452}}{{refsrc|dothrow.c|943}}
| |
| − | *Calculating the chance of kicking down a door{{refsrc|dokick.c|697}}
| |
| − | *Calculating the time it takes to open a non-blessed tin by hand{{refsrc|eat.c|1182}}
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For example, the maximum range of a thrown [[dagger]] is Str/2 squares. Thus, if your strength is 18/31, you can throw a dagger 9 squares (19/2 rounded down), but if your strength is 18/32, you can throw it 10 squares (20/2 rounded down).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Events that alter strength===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Strength may increase when:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * you eat a [[giant]] [[corpse]]{{refsrc|eat.c|926}}
| |
| − | * you eat non-cursed [[royal jelly]]{{refsrc|eat.c|1692|name=royal jelly}} or [[spinach]]{{refsrc|eat.c|1122|name=spinach}} ("you feel like Popeye!")
| |
| − | * you are at least [[Nutrition|weak]], and eat or pray, and are no longer weak{{refsrc|eat.c|2346}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Potions of gain ability and lumps of royal jelly will only increase your strength by 1 (e.g., from 18/01 to 18/02). Spinach and giant corpses sometimes increase your strength by more than one. If the corpse or tin will increase strength and your strength is less than 18, there's a 1 in 4 chance of increasing your strength by 1d6 points. If the corpse or tin increases strength and your strength is between 18 and 18/84, your strength will be increased by 1d10. If your strength is at least 18/85, it can only be increased by 1.{{refsrc|attrib.c|163}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Strength may decrease when:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * you become hungry to the point of being weak{{refsrc|eat.c|2344}}
| |
| − | * you are affected by the [[drain strength]] monster spell{{refsrc|mcastu.c|409}}
| |
| − | * you are [[poison]]ed{{refsrc|spell.c|155}}{{refsrc|eat.c|1293}}{{refsrc|eat.c|1973}}{{refsrc|fountain.c|265}}
| |
| − | * you eat cursed [[royal jelly]]<ref name="royal jelly"/> or [[spinach]]<ref name="spinach"/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are many ways to [[exercise]] your strength. One popular way is to push [[boulder]]s around. (One possibility: whenever [[you]] need to heal, spend your time pushing a boulder back and forth at one of the higher dungeon levels.)

| − | There is no direct way to increase your intrinsic dexterity apart from drinking a blessed [[potion of gain ability]] (or the corresponding [[fountain]] effect) which increases all stats by one. However, there are ways to [[exercise]] it, for example repeatedly picking locks. It is also exercised by fighting monsters, disarming traps, and reading a non-cursed [[Scroll of enchant weapon]] while not wielding a weapon.

| |

| − | Above level 9, higher constitution can also help you regenerate more HP every 3 turns. Specifically, having 13 or more constitution regenerates a random amount of HP from 1 to your current constitution which is then capped by level − 9, so to gain more than 1 HP on these turns you must be at least level 11.{{refsrc|allmain.c|171}}
