And for those willing to kick and punch more efficiently, a high ST made their Melee Damage better, but it's no reason to assume that a ST of 10 exclusively allowed you to strike an uber-blow once in a while. Similarly, a LK of 10 in itself did nothing special except for improving your chances of finding special encouters even better than LK 9. That's basically what I said in my previous post, only explained more broadly.
