Strength Requirements for items in BG2

Note that these are the requirements for unenchanted items. Magical gear might be heavier, it might be lighter�and it might require other things besides Strength. If there's an item you don't see on this list, it has no STR requirement. As far as weight goes, items weigh the same in BG2 as they did in BG1.
