Stat balance.

Dexterity got some love in 0.7.*, is STR on deck? (Sorry, but I'm not reading that many commit messages.)

Currently Str is required (3x the EV penalty!) to use heavy armours and may be more important than Armour skill itself. Of course the bonus to carry value is nice. Although it's not as important as Int, Str does apparently increase damage by 1.28% per point.

I don't understand how the STR with heavy armors works--I couldn't find any way in game to find out how much STR i needed before I could wear certain armors without penalty

You need at least 3 * EVP, and there's no short term plan for any changes to stats.

EVP= evasion penalty. For example: Leather armour AC : 3 Evasion modifier : -1, so in this case you would need 3 STR not to incur extra penalties.

(You don't strictly "need" it but you do suffer horrific penalties without it.)
