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
Replacing your arms with prosthetics made of inorganic materials will instantly boost your Astr based on the material used, at the expense of not being able to heal them naturally.
You can acquire an artificial arm by using a scroll of change material, or by praying to your favourite god when you are missing an arm.
