Strength
Fallout 76 S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
Strength is one of the 7 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats in Fallout 76, allocated from 1 to 15 points as you level. Strength is a measure of your raw physical power. It affects how much you can carry, and the damage of all melee attacks. Each point of Strength adds 5 Carry Weight and 5% melee damage.
It has 37 Strength perks. Every equipped card spends Strength points, so the stat caps how many perks you can run at once. The legendary perk Legendary Strength raises it beyond your allocation, adding up to 5 Strength and 5 Strength perk points at its top rank.
