What is physical power in Dark and Darker?
To put it simply, physical power refers to the amount of damage your character can inflict with physical attacks. Attacks that cause physical damage require physical weapons or by using skills tied to physical damage, such as the Rogue's Rupture ability. Essentially, it doesn't have an influence on how much damage you'll dish out with a bow, but it will with a mace.
Physical power is also heavily tied in with the Strength stat. You can essentially consider physical power to be an extension of strength with a more specific focus on the physical component. It is handy to know, however, that one strength point will add two physical power points to your character build.
