    When I get str: 18/18 what does the other 18 represent.

    Or simply put, is it better to be a higher or lower number?

    It affects how much damage an 18 Strength character does. The higher the better.

    "The higher the better" is not quite right. Unless you think 00 is higher than 99 ;)
