Help a Noob - advice on overcoming lack of strength

[Villide]

Hello all, as a lower level (12) Erudite Paladin, I've been hampered by a lack of strength on my character. I've always had to sell items quickly, and not carry multiple weapons, meaning multiple bank runs to catch up my weapon skills each level.

From what I understand, this is a problem many classes encountered back in the old days, so I'm wondering if there are any tips to help in this regard? Or am I just hosed because I didn't put enough points into strength at character create?

I just purchased some banded armor to upgrade from mostly cloth, and I'd love to actually be able to wear most of it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
