Oh ho!!

First off, I'm guessing you are an ogre / troll / barbarian... because you are trying to min/max your warrior to be super uber (most likely an ogre out of those to be supreme min/max).

But it isn't just a shrink problem (because, well, you could shrink yourself soon enough with potions and kunark bracer)....which means it is a character problem! You dream of being an ogre strong dark elf!

WELLLL ! Here's what you gotta do....

Reroll as a dark elf.

Why? Because you will have much more fun!!!! Especially if you twink yourself a little (boots of brawn, hero bracer, some other strength stuff and some potions).

How come more fun? Because you have a deep character flaw / drive built into your character!!! You have a passion, a deep overarching desire.... to be a dark elf warrior THAT IS OGRE STRONK!

Make that the focus of your play!! Really lean into it and surpass that goal of an ogre stronk warrior!

Yea, ogres got some really bananas starting stats.... and the no stun from front is neat (but not everything, at all).

Especially if you reach into potion usage (dark elf has a +15 advantage on agility....which means they can use +25 STR, +15 STA, -20 AGI potion... ogres would drop their agility under 70 using those, but dark elves could do it... or use a +15sta, +25 dex, -20 AGI potion if you want to proc more.... again, ogres don't have the option as easily).

You could get your strength and stamina pretty close to an ogres if you wanted.... along with making a lot more money selling and stuff.

Having a character that has a flaw or some deep desire is the most fun type to play... it gives you a motivation to try and overcome. Also dark elves get racial ability to hide (which is pretty handy).

Really, in this game, there is no reason you NEED to be at the very very very top (having 10 more strength means you might hit for 1 or 2 points more damage....). Stressing about 10 stat points here or there won't make or break any situation.... it's WAY more about the player and equipment and exploring other areas (like potions!). You could be max strong with kunark....and even an ogre can't be stronger than max strong.
