Arm Strength

Arm strength. An abstraction of basically how huge and rippling your arm muscles are.
Higher Arm Strength lets you wield heavier weapons, and increases the damage of your attacks,

Wielding heavy weapons naturally trains your arm strength. However, if they are too heavy, you may not be able to use them at all.
Drinking a bottle of Ommel Urine is a handy, artificial way to increase your Arm and Leg Strength

Instantly increase Astr with prosthetics (lose a limb and pray or use a Scroll Of Change Material on a limb)
