Strength is one of the six ability scores.
Strength measures bodily power, athletic training, and the extent to which you can exert raw physical force.
Strength Checks
A Strength check can model any attempt to lift, push, pull, or break something, to force your body through a space, or to otherwise apply brute force to a situation. Other possibilities include:
- Climbing with poor handholds
- Swimming through river rapids
- Jumping under difficult conditions, such as while carrying a person
- Forcing open a stuck or barred door
- Breaking free of manacles or other bonds
- Hang onto a vehicle while being dragged behind it
- Hold back a wagon from rolling downhill
- Shove over a Large stone stature
Physical feats of endurance are better covered by Constitution checks, and tasks related to precise movement belong to Dexterity checks.
Strength Saves
A Strength save is made to oppose an effect that physically shoves, restrains, or binds you—like the Grappled condition.
Strength DC
Your Strength DC equals: 8 + PB + Strength modifier.
This is used to maintain a Grapple, and could be used by martial maneuvers.
Attack and Damage Rolls
Add your Strength modifier to your attack roll and your damage roll when attacking with a weapon such as a greatsword, baton, or javelin.
Add your Strength modifier to your attack and damage for an unarmed strike.

You can carry a number of items equal to your Strength score.
Push, Drag, or Lift
Generally how much you can push, drag, or lift is estimated in the adventures woven by your narrator. At times it may become important to get more precise numbers, in which case this section can be used as a guide.
You can push, drag, or lift a weight in pounds equal to 30 times your Strength score —or for kilograms, about 14 times your Strength score. Both are shown in the adjacent table. While pushing or dragging more than half this weight, your speed drops to 5 feet.
Larger creatures can bear more weight. For each size a creature is above Medium, double the the amount of weight it can push, drag, or lift—and the number of Items that can fit in the creature’s bag. For a Tiny creature, halve these amounts.
Multiple creatures working together for a team lift add their Strength together.
