I got the strength, now I'll learn the technique. Pick up another martial art, or climbing, or something like that as a hobby.

Re: What would you do with +16 str?
Probably die of sudden muscle-rippling in my body.
Spoiler
But, if it's a steady growth that gives the body time to adapt, I'd probably be out in the street doing random feats of strength. I'd also be shirtless, since having toned muscles should count as having a shirt .MAGIC, n. An art of converting superstition into coin. There are other arts serving the same high purpose, but the discreet lexicographer does not name them.

I would win gold medals in weightlifting for the next 40 years (even with old age penalties, my STR would be sufficient).

Find a way to base HP on Strength and become a superhero. A +16 Str is enough to lift a couple tons, easy.

Begin a business directed at turning 90lb weaklings into macho men?
Alternatively I may consider going into politics after getting bored of hunting aliens in the jungle.If you feel like quoting something that I have said, you have my permission to use it. Unless it makes me look stupid.

Re: What would you do with +16 str?
Well +16 Str gives a pretty decent bonus on grappling so I guess I'd grapple a lot of people and become an MMA fighter or something to earn money.
Then once I had earnt my millions in fighting I'd buy the most high tech armor, maybe some weapons and vehicles, I could aford and become some form of minor comic book super-villain.

I'd probably just keep things on the top shelf a lot more for an excuse to jump up and get them.

Re: What would you do with +16 str?
Probably the same thing I do already. Laze around in bed, play D&D/video games, study a couple of books, surf the internet, and work in a bar at weekends.
Likely with a lot more female attention, however. I'd be like the awesomer Vin Diesel. But with slightly more acting talent.

Re: What would you do with +16 str?
+16 to strength? So many things come to mind!
- Take up swordfighting - two-handed weapon, one-handed and a shield, duel wielding, etc.
- Acquire several forms of armor for varying combat styles.
- Take up several different types of unarmed fighting.
- Work-out as needed - I don't want to lose that big of a boost to strength!
- Figure out a way to reach everything on me!
There are a few more things, but these are the ones I would like to do most.Last edited by gurgleflep; 2013-07-08 at 05:35 PM.

Re: What would you do with +16 str?
Figure out a way to trade it for +6 CON and +4 DEX.
I'm in sales, and my "hobby" projects are permaculture/gardening and shooting. I already have enough strength for those, but I'm lacking in dexterity and endurance (asthma + low heat tolerance).

Re: What would you do with +16 str?
Id be a stage magician who pulls of impossible feats of strength and leave the audience baffled out how I do them. (only really works if I don't suddenly become the hulk in appearance)

Re: What would you do with +16 str?
Yeah +16 strength would be awesome. Keeping the same appearance would be even better.
I'd start by putting my amateur fight career on the fast track. I'd also enter pretty much every strongman contest I could find. Win a bunch of money and give most of it away.

Re: What would you do with +16 str?
since nothing was said about a change in physical appereance, im gonna have to go with "hustle people for cash and respect". nothing overboard, id just like to live comfortably. i wouldnt become a professional fighter though, id be too glass canon-y. Olympics sounds fun, and i wouldnt even have to train to get there!

Re: What would you do with +16 str?
Unfortunately, improved Strength doesn't grant you Improved Unarmed Strike or Improved Grapple, not does it improve your hit points or armor class in any way. Pretty sure all the good MMA fighter have Combat Reflexes and Improved Unarmed Strike/Grapple, as a minimum. Try to grapple them, they'll knock you out cold with an AoO and that'll be the end of that.

Raise a barn or a house by myself, and then probably let my muscles atrophy because the novelty had worn off.

Re: What would you do with +16 str?
Id hustle people for cash at the nearest driving range/golf course by betting them I could hit the ball really far. Maybe win a few amateur circuits and try to go pro. My grandma has some debts I could pay off if I hurry.
