Just wanted to add my 2 cents on the stats issue..i have seen many people
say to pump all u can into strength cause u'll need it for that heavy
armor...this is true..but..i personally only put 5 into str to bring my
half-elf str up to 80...why would i do this ? simple with 8- i could wear
full chain and have enough str to carry quite a bit of loot without being
encumbered..o what about that heavy plate..not to worry..i for 1 dont plan
on buying regular plate as it is heavy and ridicously expensive..i am
currently level 26 and upgrading slowly to pieces of lizard.ie mantle and
cape..and rubicite. This armor if u didnt know is much lighter than plate
and just as good(i think, i dont have stats on all pieces)..also got a
thick leather apron from unrest ac8 weight 1....
2ndly as you get this high there are plenty of magical items to pump up
your strength..both as loot and now from enchanters as they get higher up
in level.
So as you can see dont worry if your not arnold the bard...i found my
pumped dex and agility much more useful as lowere level than i would
strength...:)
