Strength

From Diablo Wiki

If you were looking for the Rune Word, see Strength Rune Word.

Strength is a Character Attribute.

[edit] Diablo II

It affects the actual Damage dealt by the character in case of melee weapons. It is the percentage that will be added of the Weapon's damage as is listed in the tooltip.

Strength is also a requirement to equip heavy items like Heavy weapons and Armor.

Strength can also be increased by certain magical attributes. In these cases, items that were equipped using the extra strength will remain equipped though the item will not be used, similar to items that have reached zero Durability.

[edit] Diablo III

Strength determines the character's physical damage bonus and armor bonus.
