Oh, oh! I can, I can!



Do you know why? I RTFM! Yes I did, sir.



The /xx is the percentile dice roll. That is, a random number is generated between 1 and 100.

So from 01 to 00. It is exceptional Str, the highest available in character creation - apart from Half-orc.

It is only for warriors and for warrior multis.



In BG1 and IWD it made a big difference to have 18/00 (or at least 18/91+), rather than just 18 - 'cos you couldn't get it higher buff-less, until late-game.



18 Str = +1 to hit, +2 dmg

BUT

18/00 = +3 to hit, +6 dmg



See?



But in BG2, it doesn't really matter 'cos of Strength girdles, DuHM, and suchlike.



If you RTFM (or even a FAQ on this very site!) you will get the lowdown on the whole Str chart!

More noobiness. PC games tend to have the manual on the disc in pdf form. This is better than killing trees.
