    There are also girdle of frost (str-21, Kua-Toa dungeon, underdark) and stonegiantstrength (str-20), the gauntlets of ogre-power (str-18/00; planar sphere).

    Ther is a mace in CC the set´s your str to 18/00 or so and crom Faeyr gives you str-25 but cost´s yiou the girdle of frostgiant strength and the gauntlets of ogre power - it´s up to you what you want: Concentrate power in one fighter or disperse it in your party, giving THACO bonusses to two fighters instead of one ...

    [​IMG] Well I think Ragusa mentioned them all as far as I can remember.

    Only the mace in the copper coronet puts strenght to 18 instead of 18/00. And there is a halberd for sale in the adventurers mart add-on merchant to gives +1 to strenght. (But who is using halberds nowadays ;) ) The shield of Balduran also gives -1 to your strenght stat.

    And if you count potions to items, a lot of them increase your strenght stat temporarely. Those are numerous out there, I think you can keep a fighter pumped up for every battle with the amount of strenght potions I encountered. But I always found my myself left with a lot of potions at the end of the game. Just forgot to use them...

    So the right answer is: there is no such gridle.

    Hmm, readjust your logic Kasio: That three people don´t know where to find this girdle doesn´t naturally mean it isn´t there ... ;)

    There actually is a girdle of stonegiant strength (check shadowkeeper item browser) - you should find it later in the game, in sulandessalar or on your way after you leave the underdark. I remember I found it but I forgot where.
