I just roled 18/13 strength. Now what does that say? It confuses me a bit, because it seems very weird and not good at all

Basically, if you get 18 for strength you roll again for exceptional strength. This reroll is 1d100, and that`s what goes on the bottom line. Cuttoff points are, from memory,
18/13
18/52
18/73
18/00 (= 18/100)

All of those give you different bonuses, but don`t ask me what they are. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

If they went with AD&D exceptional strength (I think they did) it is:

01-50 = +1 to hit/+3 damage
51-75 = +2/+3
76-90 = +2/+4
91-99 = +2/+5
100 = +3/+6

Each bracket gives you a +5 bonus on bashing doors, and somewhere around 40# or so carrying capacity, though I don't have the exact figures available. I'm pretty sure 18/13 would let you carry 220#, and 18/00 would let you carry 400#, but I don't remember the breakdown. It should be in the manual, though
