25 strength, annoying me

A simple question.. Other than crom faeyr or Uai+belt of fire giant strength+2 holy symbols+Harmonium halberd...

Is there any way of getting 25 strength, other than temporary methods like dahm or righous magic or potions + holy symbols, ect

??? this is annoying me, I cant backstab with crom or that wimpy halberd and I wanna do some large 25 strength backstabbin without hacking or nuffin

Dual wield , man !!... A sword in MAIN hand and Crom in the OFF hand will allow you backstab at 25 STR

But Angurdaval alone looks OK to me, 22 STR ...
Don't forget anyway that STR damage bonuses are NOT multiplied in backstabs !

...

1. Either take your character (fighter with 18 strength) trough BG I and give him the Tome of Strength or choose a Half-Orc in BG II: 19
2. Choose the evil path in Hell: 22 (2 for one of the tests and 1 extra because strength is a fighter's main stat)
3. Lum's machine: 23
4. Certain draw from Deck of many things: 24 (I think)

This will bring you up to 24 strength. 25 is not possible I think.

Ambiroix (Sp?)

Would a fighter theif gain these 2 strength points? Or would he get a dex point? If so, im going to be annoyed.

If so, Ill get a human theif, kit him to swashy in soa (For ac and other boni) take him through Soa.. GEt Uai in watchers keep with a small party, duel to a fighter for hell get my strength

Yeah, 20 con (tome lum machine) (Any point for a dual fighter?)
25 strength (Holy symbol, miscelanios boni)
21 dex (tome, lum, soulstone from lich)

The other stats can bite me, I dont care fer there big city ways

And I couldnt give a sod for the other stats.. Dammit! Think fo the ac, with big swashy bonus and 21 dex (Btw.. Theif armour can eat me, im gonna wear some big ass plate and let my theif skills go to hell)

Any character would get the extra 2 strength. But the evil-path in the hell test of Wrath gives another + 1 in the prime requisite of your class, according to the third post on this thread:

I think that post is correct. For a fighter this would be strength, for a thief dexterity. Dunno what happens to multi-class. I imagine for a dual-class this would be the prime stat of your second class. If you have an old save-game from Hell, you can test it by changing the class you were using then with Shadowkeeper to the class you want to use now..
