Tips
Higher Strength is beneficial to all character builds. Tank builds often have a strength of 6 to allow for Level Perk Stonewall. Pugilists often have ST 7 or more. Low strength results in a decreased carry weight, so its wise to get Support perks Strong Back and Pack Rat. You can also increase CW with one of PvE_Perks, Strong Back Lite after level 55.
Check the Strength requirement for whichever weapon You intend to use in Weapons. For each point missing under a weapon's ST requirement, your Hit Chance is penalized by 20%. However, with no level cap, You can get weapon skill high enough to compensate. Add drugs and possibly a implants, and even a sniper can have proper Hit Chance at max range with base ST 1.
Strength is very important to miners and crafters as well, because they benefit from a high Carry Weight.
