Online Manual - Character Abilities

You have 5 primary abilities. These determine what items you can use. For example most melee weapons require a minimum strength value and missile weapons require a minimum dexterity value.

Clicking on an ability name will show a description for each ability as well as any effects you get by increasing the ability.

Strength
Your strength ability determines what kind of weapons you can use. Most melee weapons will require a minimum strength ability before you can use them.

All weapons have a minimum strength, or dexterity or both requirements in order to be used. If a character has an ability (or abilities) above or equal to the specified requirements then he may use the weapon or item. In a different case, he cannot, and must raise his abilities in order to meet the requirements of the weapon. Once a person can use a weapon the damage he may cause depends entirely on the weapon plus any damage bonuses.

For every 15 points of Strength you get a +1 attack bonus when using melee weapons.
