If this is true then why not. Anyway you need to make KU potions. A Ku potion increases strenght and carrying ability. The spell requires a flask and goes as follows strength bit then FUL, BRO then KU ok ?

As far as the esoteric suits of armor goes, my party of four ladies weren't strong enough to use much of it... they'd find something like a RA helmet, look at it and say "how nice!", then use it to mark a deadend passageway or put it near the edge of an "invisible pit" as a marker... The weapons were nice to have, but in general they used the special items that increased their abilities, and relied on moving fast to avoid taking any damage. In Dungeon Master, I used strength potions to increase the damage inflicted on tough opponents, like the Knights, but in CSB there just aren't enough flasks and mana available to do a whole lot of increasing attributes with potions... especially when playing with only one Champion..!
