A caster with a pathetic STR of 60 is doing the same as a melee class with 40-50 more STR. There's something amiss here people!
Strength doesn't come into play until lvl 20 iirc.

until lvl 20 the most you will hit with ANY weapon is 29. I believe there is a cap until 10 or so that limits it to 18-20.

This could also have something to do with what we're seeing here. Is strength not doing anything to add to people's attack rating? is it possible that strength is supposed to add to attack rating until 20, when it also adds additional damage? i'm not entirely sure how the combat mechanic works with strength, ie if it ever does both, or if by increasing attack rating it by default adds damage due to the higher attack number.
