Strength
Physical force available for lifting, striking, or pushing.
Overview
Strength measures how much force the body can produce. Use it when an action depends on lifting, pushing, holding, or striking with power. It does not describe technique: the relevant Skill supplies that part of the pool. Appearance alone is an unreliable guide to a vampire’s physical strength.
Using the ratings
