+====== Strength ======
+**Strength** is one of the primary attributes of the [[en:rpd:hero|hero]] in Remixed Pixel Dungeon. It affects the hero's ability to wield heavy weapons and armor, as well as their overall physical capabilities.
+==== Mechanics ====
+  * **Weapon Usage:** Determines the maximum [[en:rpd:weapon|weapon]] [[en:rpd:strength|strength]] requirement the hero can wield without penalties
+  * **Armor Usage:** Determines the maximum [[en:rpd:armor|armor]] [[en:rpd:strength|strength]] requirement the hero can wear without penalties
+  * **Carrying Capacity:** Affects the hero's ability to carry heavier items
+  * **Physical Damage:** Contributes to the damage dealt with melee weapons
+==== Starting Values by Class ====
+Different hero classes have varying starting strength:
+  * [[en:rpd:warrior_class|Warrior]]: 12
+  * [[en:rpd:mage_class|Mage]]: 8
+  * [[en:rpd:rogue_class|Rogue]]: 10
+  * [[en:rpd:elf_class|Elf]]: 10
+  * [[en:rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]]: 9
+  * [[en:rpd:gnoll_class|Gnoll]]: 13
+  * [[en:rpd:priest_class|Priest]]: 10
+  * [[en:rpd:doctor_class|Doctor]]: 9
+==== Increasing Strength ====
+Ways to increase strength:
+  * **[[en:rpd:potion_of_strength_item|Potion of Strength]]:** Permanently increases strength by 1 point when consumed (can be consumed multiple times)
+  * **[[en:rpd:scroll_of_mind_vision_item|Scroll of Mind Vision]]** (rare effect): May provide temporary strength boost in some versions
+  * **[[en:rpd:talents|Talents]]:** Some talents provide strength bonuses
+  * **[[en:rpd:buffs|Buffs]]:** Temporary strength bonuses from various sources
+==== Strength Requirements ====
+Equipment has strength requirements:
+  * **Weapons:** If the hero's strength is below the required amount, damage is reduced
+  * **Armor:** If the hero's strength is below the required amount, armor effectiveness is reduced and [[en:rpd:encumbrance|encumbrance]] penalties apply
+  * **Penalties:** Wearing equipment below strength requirement results in reduced accuracy, evasion, and damage output
+==== Strength Calculations ====
+How strength affects gameplay:
+  * **Effective Strength:** Base strength + temporary bonuses from [[en:rpd:buffs|buffs]] and [[en:rpd:equipment|equipment]]
+  * **Strength Delta:** Difference between effective strength and equipment requirement determines penalty severity
+  * **Penalties:** For every point below the requirement, there's a 25% penalty to effectiveness
+==== Equipment Strength Requirements ====
+Standard strength requirements by equipment tier:
+  * **[[en:rpd:weapon|Weapons]]:**
+    * Light weapons: 3-8 strength
+    * Medium weapons: 8-12 strength
+    * Heavy weapons: 12+ strength
+  * **[[en:rpd:armor|Armor]]:**
+    * Cloth: 1 strength required
+    * Leather: 6 strength required
+    * Mail: 11 strength required
+    * Scale: 16 strength required
+    * Plate: 21 strength required
+==== Related Mechanics ====
+Strength interacts with other game systems:
+  * **[[en:rpd:weapon|Weapon]]** effectiveness and damage calculation
+  * **[[en:rpd:armor|Armor]]** effectiveness and penalty systems
+  * **[[en:rpd:encumbrance|Encumbrance]]** calculation and movement penalties
+  * **[[en:rpd:carrying_capacity|Carrying Capacity]]** and inventory management
+  * **[[en:rpd:mechanics#lifting|Lifting]]** heavy objects in the dungeon
+==== Strategy Tips ====
+Using strength effectively:
+  * **Early Game:** Use [[en:rpd:potion_of_strength_item|Potions of Strength]] early if starting with a low-strength class
+  * **Equipment Choice:** Select weapons and armor with requirements you can meet
+  * **Balancing:** Balance strength gain with other advancement priorities
+  * **Planning:** Consider future strength when choosing equipment upgrades
