Assuming they're using the same tables, it's not unlikely at all. I found five Strength-boosting items: Ring of three wishes, gauntlets of ogre power, ioun stone (pale blue rhomboid), belt of giant strength, and manual of gainful exercise. For each roll on the item tables, the combined probability to get any of these is less than 0.12%. That means you would, on average, need to find 800 magic items to get one that boosted your Strength.As for making magic items, good luck convincing the party wizard to burn Constitution points so you can get a bonus to hit. By the time the wizard gets 8th-level spells, she has better people to make magic items for, like herself.</blockquote>
