Highest possible strength score?
Trying for a Tavern Brawler Monk build, and I want the highest strength score possible. I can get to 20 from feats, +2 from the Hag, and +2 from the Potion of Everlasting Vigor. So that's 24. Is there any way to go higher than that?

but since an odd number is irrelevant you could just drop the Ethel boost into another stat to even it out

could find gear that could add more str

There's a very late game item that will raise your base score to 23 when wearing it. So that would make it 27 in your case. To get higher than that, I literally have no idea.

you can get +2 to any stat from the mirror during shadowheart's quest in act 3.
also, doesn't the hag hair only give you +1 to to the ability score you choose?

+2 from hag? did I do something wrong? I thought you only got +1 from her hair.

Use cheat engine and get it to 30.

The highest possible stat you can have in DnD 5e is 30 (+10 modifier). I do not think that's possible in this game (as we only go to level 12).

Highest I've seen is 24 (+12 modifier).

Thankfully mods exist to raise the max level to 20. I recommend everyone struggling with the late game to use it.

you can get STR to 27(as i showed above) DEX/CON both have robes too so those can get to 25 CHA has a hat for 25 only WIS and INT lack a +2 item so they get 24/23 at best respectivly(WIS gets a +1 amulet) unless i missed a + INT item somewhere? (or a stronger wis one)

+8 (27) temporarily
+7 (25) permanently
Recjawjind Aug 21, 2023 @ 6:05pm 
Hag gives you +1, not +2
You can however get another permanent +2 in act 3, so if you waste the hair on it you can hit 25. Just spend the hair somewhere else and go 24

There is also the potion of cloud giant strength that sets it to 27 until next long rest.

27 str is the maximum 20 base (from 16+2 x2 feats) +1 ethel +2 potion +2 from STR robe +2 from mirror. 27 is a permanent value

The robe maxes out at 20, the mirror at 24.

ah i missed that on the robe and mirror buff so yeah 24 max "Effective" permanent stat then for all stats (22 for INT again unless there's a +1 or 2 int item somewhere)
