None of the original races add a +2 mod. Technically, to get to Str 19 using a +2 mod, you would need to have 18/91-99 to start with...3) Some people seem to be short on memory regarding AD&D PHB Strength Table 1, where racial maxima were clearly stated (and females had lower maxima than men.... Oooooooh, wow.... Realism !)4) The HG Belt was the Str 19 item5) Finally, the reason why everyone was so fired up about % Str was that in my campaign, there was a SINGLE pair of Gauntlets of Ogre Strength (and the pair was split). There were no "I'll get that Staff of Power for you, but it'll take at least 2 weeks" shops, and making magic items required a 16 level magic-user, and gettign there was looooong.... Painful... years of play.... And yes, we did it !</blockquote>
