Strength bonus types

[Skrayper]

I was wondering just how many different kinds of bonuses someone can get to strength (or really any stat, but strength is the one I was working on).

I know there's:
Enhancement (magic items, Bull's Strength, Animal Focus, etc)
Morale (Rage)
Alchemical (Mutagen)
Size (Enlarge Person, polymorph spells)
Inherent (Manuals, Orc bloodline)

Are there any other strength bonus types? Like divine, infernal, luck, etc?

Dear Customer!

A positive experience with a charming Succubus, and even more charming Lilitu or even the most charming Nocticula herself can get you a +2/+4/+6 profane bonus to one or more abilities.
Objectively inferior options concerning completely relevant ex-angelic in a totally dinky, pathetic and shriveled corner of the multiverse also exist, but are barely worthy of any mention.

Depending on GM, becoming for example a half fiend is either inherent or profane.

A funny little trick for an Abyssal Bloodrager is moment of greatness.
At level 16, an Abyssal Bloodrager gets +10 Morale to strength from his bloodrage (and another +2 from size), and moment of greatness can double this to +20 for one roll, which is pretty clutch if you challenged a Balor to a round of Armwrestling because you really want to get into that Alyushinnyrran night club.

I am unaware of any competence, luck or insight boni to STR, but I cannot exclude their existence.

Best regards,

Liliyashanina, Senior Alyushinyrran customer service representative

there are simply Bonus Types, not bonus types to strength. Your question could also be read as what bonus types are applied to the Strength ability score in RAW via magic items and spells {you'll have to sort through that list yourself}.

many bonuses could be applied of the same or differing types. Usually only the greatest bonus of a single type is effective as it supercedes the others of the same type (see the description of the type, Dodge bonuses accumulate).

Beside the already mentioned profane there are at least sacred and untyped.

We had a thread about the highest Str score a while ago. But the results might discourage you from doing your own research, so maybe visit it only afterwards.

Well, the second stat I'm trying to look into is Wisdom. That seems to have fewer options sadly...

The Dragon Disciple prC gives a +4 untyped bonus to Stength, and the Evangelist prC also gives an untyped (I could have sworn in was a Divine bonus, but untyped is good too) +4 bonus to any one ability score of your choice.
