Strength or STR is a basic ability that is used in many physical actions that require short thrusts of energy. Examples are all sorts of fights, attempting to hold a character against his will, breaking free from a grip, but also the very important Load Capacity that determines how much weight a character can carry.
Fighters usually take STR 10-12 during character creation. It is also important for prospectors since they need to carry the raw materials they harvest. Finally STR is important to prevent other characters getting a hold of your character against your will which is usually the first step to chaining your character and abducting him.
