Strength

Strength measures your character's muscle and physical power. This ability is especially important for soldiers because it helps them prevail in physical combat.

You apply your character's Strength modifier to:

• Melee attack rolls.
• Damage rolls for melee and thrown weapons. (Exceptions: Grenades don't have their damage modified by Strength.)
• Climb, Jump, and Swim checks (the skills with Strength as the key ability).
• Strength checks (for breaking down doors and the like).
