STRENGTH
Discussion: As the name implies, Strength represents a person’s raw muscle power. Characters use Strength for physical activities such as lifting, jumping, climbing and throwing, as well as inflicting damage in hand-to-hand combat or breaking inanimate objects.
Trait Effects: Without dots in Athletics, a character with Strength of 1 is weaker than average and can lift a TV set (40 lbs.) with effort. A character with Strength 3 works out regularly and can lift a large man (220 lbs.). A character with Strength 5 is prodigiously strong and can lift a small motorcycle (450 lbs.) with effort.
A character can carry 25 pounds per dot of Strength or Athletics without difficulty. For each additional 25 pounds over this limit, the difficulty to all physical actions the burdened character takes increases by one.
