{{#if: Dig deep for a Burst of Strength. |

Description

Reaction Trigger

{{{reaction}}}

}} {{#if: Apply Enhance Strength with a power of (12 + (4 * Rank)) for 90 seconds (refreshable). |

Mechanics

Apply Enhance Strength with a power of (12 + (4 * Rank)) for 90 seconds (refreshable).

 |
}} {{#if: Surge of Strength is a commonly used Combat Maneuver due to the strength increase that it provides, increasing a character's attack strength and increasing carrying capacity, effectively reducing encumbrance and, therefore, possibly roundtime when attacking. Each bonus point will increase unencumbered carrying capacity 1% of the character's body weight with a maximum bonus of 16% at Rank 5. E.g., a character that weighs 200 lbs. with Rank 5 will have an increased carrying capacity of 32 lbs. (200 * .16). Because its effects are treated as an enhancive, it is subject to normal enhancive limits; thus additional ranks of Surge of Strength may net no further bonuses depending on a character's existing Strength enhancives (including spells such as Holy Weapon (1625)). Surge will also show up on Wrayth's active spell window or with the SPELL ACTIVE command, and its cooldown is counted as a debuff for SPELL SORT.

Messaging

Additional Information

Surge of Strength is a commonly used Combat Maneuver due to the strength increase that it provides, increasing a character's attack strength and increasing carrying capacity, effectively reducing encumbrance and, therefore, possibly roundtime when attacking. Each bonus point will increase unencumbered carrying capacity 1% of the character's body weight with a maximum bonus of 16% at Rank 5. E.g., a character that weighs 200 lbs. with Rank 5 will have an increased carrying capacity of 32 lbs. (200 * .16). Because its effects are treated as an enhancive, it is subject to normal enhancive limits; thus additional ranks of Surge of Strength may net no further bonuses depending on a character's existing Strength enhancives (including spells such as Holy Weapon (1625)).

Surge will also show up on Wrayth's active spell window or with the SPELL ACTIVE command, and its cooldown is counted as a debuff for SPELL SORT.
