strength increase question

Armen · 09-30-2003, 06:36 AM

if i have a halfling fighter or fighter/thief with 17 (max) STR and i find some sort of magical thingy that increases my strength permanently by one point to 18 will the game roll an exceptional strength score for me?

hmm...not exactly sure what youre asking, but i think what youre asking is wether or not you get the -to hit rolls- of 18 strenght, correct? if so, then yes, you should get those...

sorry, tried to be too vague!

no - i meant which of the following will happen after reading a STR tome:

17 -> 18

17 -> 18/xx (because of the fighter component)

?

oh, right. then im afraid youll just have 18 strenght, not 18/01+

what do u mean ur afraid. 18 is better than say 18/31 aint it? I know 18/00 is the best so is 18 not just that?

Nyet!
The STR scale for fighter-like classes goes like this:
18 < 18/01 <...< 18/31 <....< 18/76 <....<18/00

Ross,
18 is like 18.0
18/01 is like 18.01
18/50 is like 18.5
18/00 is like 18.999999999999999999..........
well you get the picture.

But a plain 18 strength is still pretty good

yeh, i know . . . but i wanted to, er, roleplay, a really really strong halfling . . . that's right . . .

(although i'd settle for a gnome with 20 DEX and +5 to save v. death)

well once u get to 19 (if u get to 19) then u wont have to worry about 18/00 etc
