BG2's Strength Requirements
Note that these are the requirements for unenchanted items. Magical gear might be heavier,
it might be lighter—and it might require other things besides Strength. If there's an item you
don't see on this list, it has no STR requirement. STR Requirements are not implemented in BG1.
