I think it's just one of those things you have to just not look too closely at.

[Sensei]

To be fair, OoTS has, in the past, not had those. It seems like you hardly ever see a throwaway character who doesn't sneak back to be a major plot point.

[Greiger]

It was a hollywood breakaway wall obviously.

Though for some reason I have a vague memory of some kind of giants strength belt variant that actually set your strength to a certain level instead of just increasing it.  I remember it being in a video game and looting it and thinking yay! belt of giant's strength, giving it to my fighter and being disappointed when it actually lowered his strength to 19 from his 20 base.

Maybe it's that kind?  Though I can't imagine why Roy would be using it in that case since his natural strength would clearly be higher than 19, cept in maybe 2.0 rules.

[Yoink]

I should get back into this.
Surprisingly, it looks like I'm only ten comics behind.

[Greiger]

There was an end of a book recently I understand he takes a month or two break every book transition.

Eh, bull rush check with creative license from the DM. Wolf rolled a 1 to resist, Mr. Scruffy a 20. The spread on that dwarfs the actual range of likely bonuses - remember, an average kitten just needs to roll 11 higher than an average commoner to shove him out a window.

I think there's something like that in Baldur's Gate.

There are Bracers of Dexterity that set it to 18 in Baldur's Gate.

5E works that way, too, or did last time I looked. I believe it may also have worked that way in past editions, although it's inane either way.

In the original, there are bracers that set the dexterity to 18 and gauntlets that set the strength the 18.

In the sequel, there are also a range of belts that set the strength to different values from 19 to 24.

Given that attribute values in BG only went up to 25, simply adding to an attribute would cause massive overflow problems.

Okay, on the BoGS:
Standard BoGSs cannot provide a bonus greater that +6. Mr. Scruffy, an alleged cat, was able to knock a large wolf through a brick wall while under the affects of the belt. Cats have a strength of 3. His strength would then have been boosted to 9. I doubt, then, that this is a standard BoGS.

I'm fairly certain that Mr. Scruffy is a ranger companion, actually. If it's 3.5 rules, he probably has 4 hit dice and a +2 strength bonus. That's still a little hard to believe even if the cat took Improved Natural Weapon and has 12 strength though.

Weren't the arena's walls pretty crappy? At least, according to Roy's cross-class ranks in Knowledge(Architecture)?

No, I think he just used those to identify the loadbearing pillars and bait Thog into smashing them. 

[Darvi]

Meh, he'll just have to claim that he cannot commune with Thor anymore or something. Which is of course true.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Most likely.

[RedWarrior0]

Something like that, yeah
