The best solution I have found for meleers with strenth in the mid teens, eg, Khalid, is to have a mage cast Strength on them. You really only need use it for the major fights. Even if you stumble onto a tough fight, the casting time for Srength is very quick; and although the description says it is a touch spell, I have found that on the contrary mages cast it from a distance if they are standing away from the fighter. Strength lasts 1 hour/level, so you don't have to worry about it elapsing during combat.
