I can tell ya this a Dwarf with "MAJOR" strength (19) is a deadly opponent! who needs a backstab when you can dawn the speed and attack from the front with a blow that will ROCK thier world? A dwarven fighter is my key player for bustin up some fierce monsters if ya know what I mean..If they survive the first blow I give them,they are likely to turn a little yellow if you know what I mean?and beg for mercy... HA,HA !!

oh, for sure! Dwarves kick some serious ugly! Even better, Dwarven Fighter/cleric... 3rd level he can rais that 19 strength to a 20! look out evil

How do you get a Dwarf to 19 strength in Icewind Dale at lvl 3?

Draw upon holy might.

...and pray moradin be listening to ye

Dwarf equiped with the Ring of Drawven Bone and The Gauntlets of Ogre Power will have a 19 Strenght.... Freakin awesome if you ask me.
