Strong
For the player stat, see Attribute#Strength.
Strong is a property which a monster (or you) may possess.
A strong monster may be generated with a battle-axe, two-handed sword, long sword or a lucern hammer.[1] Only strong monsters may wield two-handed weapons.[2]
Polymorphing into a strong monster sets your strength to 18/**, regardless of your base race.[3] If your steed is strong and gets entangled in a spider web, its chance of breaking free is calculated as had it a strength of 17; rnd(2), or one half.[4]
Strong monsters cannot be pulled around with a grappling hook.[5]
Strongness also affects a monster's carrying capacity.
