Strength

Category:Skills
In Brigand, your Strength increases the damage done by melee weapons. Some weapons, like Gas Tanks, Cinder Blocks, and the Rocket Launcher require a minimum strength to pick them up.
Strength has four abilities associated with it; Power Strike (Strength 10), Throw Weapon (Strength 10), Intimidate (Strength 15), and Speed Strike (Strength 25)
Power Strike can be activated with 10 meta to grant a sizable (+20-+35) Strength bonus for a single attack.
Throw Weapon allows you to toss any melee weapon as if it were a Knife or Grenade for 10 meta.
Intimidate can be used on generic NPCs to raise the health at which they flee from battle. It is also a passive, adding more dialog options for conversations.
Speed Strike allows you to attack faster with melee weapons, and can be activated to deliver a crippling strike that reduces the target's Agility, Strength, Pistol, and Rifle skills for a temporary duration.
