Squidmaster: Ok, I am running into a problem now that I am getting some better plate apparel around level 5/6. My human warrior is encumbered with what I currently have with no other inventory at all, and that is with 2 or so remaining ringmail pieces. I don't think she will be able to wear the next upgrade with her modified 11 strength. How big a problem is this?
That can definitely be a problem for low-strength warriors intent on using heavy armor. Look on the skill trees you're currently boosting and see if there are any +strength perks in the near future. Another option is to start putting some skill points into the Athletics tree (if memory serves just two points will give you a quick +1 strength, with some additional strength bonuses later on). There are also a few items that will boost your strength- I think I remember a helmet that gives +3 strength, although naturally you'd have to sacrifice using a high-defense helmet for that.
