Don't ruin the Strength Effect. Please.

Having the Strength Effect give a linear damage increase is preferable to the percentage increase of the past, and that which is being experimented with in the snapshots. The percentage increase only means that early-game weapons/enchants are useless, while making later-game weapons all the more powerful.

If Strength, giving +3 per level, is too powerful as it is, then I propose we change it to +2 per level, instead of +20%.

Even enchants do not give a percentage-based damage increase, so why is a potion going to affect weapon damage differently depending on what said weapon is made of and enchanted with? The weapon isn't drinking the potion, the player is.

    The last sentence makes a lot of sense. We need this.

    All things considered, sharpness giving +15% * level damage to a weapon might not be the worst thing ever. Although 10% or 12% may be better, balance-wise.
    Then we nerf Strength to +2 * level and we'll wind up with a similar result to what they're doing now with the +40%, but better.

    Melly Dow I'm expressly saying the strength potions SHOULDN'T be based on percentage, because it makes it less useful by an unreasonable degree. If we have both potions AND enchants doing it, that would only compound the problem.
