Maximum possible strength

[Relenthe]

Assuming a half orc build with 12 levels of fighter and 6 levels of barbarian.

20base +
5levels +
3fighter enhancement +
3exceptional +
3abishai +
7item enhancement +
4tome

= 45 standing

+ 12 barbarian rage (4 base +4 past life + 2 horc rage + 2 greater rage)
+ 2 rage spell

= 59raged

+ 2frenzy

= 61 frenzied

8power surge +
4madstone +
2 ship +
2 yugoloth

= 77 somewhat sustainable

6titan gloves +
6 barb clickie (may be +4 if horc rage doesn't work with this as well) +
1 house d pot

= 90 burst

+ 2 store pot
+ 6choker
+ 8 horc fury (below 10% health)


= a grand total of 106 stars aligned.

basically impossible to achieve in game but fun to see nonetheless

if any1 sees an error or can confirm whether the barb clickie does +6 or +4 would be great

Horc mad! Horc Smash!

Not sure why people obsess with max str that in order to get would make your character unplayable.

You're missing an airship buff ;)

And did you remember the stacking STR pot from Store ? And I don't know if the STR pot from house D turn-ins will stack with all of the above + Yugoloth or not, so I'm not sure if you have your pots + maximised or not ... :)

And the rage bonuses are probably wrong, h-orc fury bonuses do not stack with those from rage for starters.

+5 psionic strength bonus from Titan cookie.

+5 psionic strength bonus from Titan cookie.

won't stack with gloves ;)

[Crystalizer]

i want 108 int on my wiz !!
why in this game you can achieve an insane strength but no intelligence ??? or wisdom even ??????
dont tell me that wisdom cant be insane plz :o

[Tomalon]

Also the Choker is only +6. says +8 but has been broken for yrs! Also that +6 only last for like 6 second if the stars and planets align just right;)

[Kevorkian]

I beileve Medusa's Fury is a morale bonus to STR, so its not gonna stack with rage/orc fury either

[Loftus]

I agree with the one who was concerned it would make that character unplayable. I currently am enjoying my half orc vanguard warrior but to jack his STR through the roof would ruin the gameplay for me. It's already hard enough to find a challenge to him as it is. I am not being cocky I am just being honest. I have had only one physical death and that was very early on and of the 5 other deaths they were at the hands of some spell casters but I just don't for whatever reason die by being beat up by someone(battle arena yes sometimes) in an adventure.

It's a "when the star are aligned" str score, but after removing the choker it is a perfectly playable character.
They don't really need to sacrifice anything to get those scores.

Not broken...just doesn't stack with rage...like the first +2 is the rage potion/spell...now that i think about it, it would be interesting to see if the choker stacked with the HORC Fury line or not...since thats a +8 morale bonus and the choker seems to be giving a morale bonus...

Thanks forgot the store pot and ship buff. I do believe horc fury stacks with rage, otherwise what would be the point in the 1st tier of that enhancement line?

Yes I am also not sure if +2 yugoloth + 1 house d and +2 store potions all stack.

I also took out the medusa fury as I have been told it doesn't stack with horc fury

[Hecore]

You can get another +1 with a Hezrou Cookie -- +4 Profane but +3 of it won't stack with Abishai.

Not every half orc is a barbie . For a barbie its trash . Well actually its trash anyway .

And if we are being silly about it wouldnt complesionist stack on this ?

[DelScorcho]

Add two for completionist ...

That should stack with everything else.

20 Barb has a higher strength than a 12 Fighter / 6 Barbarian (but the 12 Fighter / 6 Barbarian would probably do more damage since it also has the Kensai bonuses for damage, where-as the 20 Barb would have just one more Power Attack enhancement)

12 Fighter / 6 Barbarian:
4 - Rage
2 - Power Rage
2 - Frenzy
2 - Horc Power Rage
3 - Fighter Enhancement
8 - Power Surge
------------------
Total +21 STR from class abilities and enhancements

20 Barbarian
4 - Rage
4 - Power Rage
2 - Greater Rage
2 - Mighty Rage
2 - Capstone
2 - Horc Power Rage
2 - Frenzy
4 - Death Frenzy
2 - Encrusted Ring benefit for FB3
------------------
Total +24 STR from class abilities and enhancements

Also note that the Horc Fury does not stack with the Rage spell, as noted by other posters.

And note that a Hezrou cookie (+4 Profane) is better than the Greater Might of the Abashai set (+3 Profane).

Third note is that the +4 from Madstone is actually a double Madstone effect. In the "somewhat sustainable" section it should be +2, then another +2 in the "burst" section.

Note four: What is the "6 barb clicky"? Is that the Barbarian past life that is already accounted for in your Rage calculation?

Scourge Choker does stack with Rage, so the choker should also stack with Horc Fury

Horc Fury stacks with Barbarian Rage, but not the Rage spell.
