While creating human monk character for some reason it is impossible to reduce strength below 11. As if it was a spellcasting stat.

"I cast fist!"

This is a Beamdog bug at the moment.

As a temporary workaround, you can still allocate your ability points yourself from 8 upward in the character creation screen.

A lot of people click "recommended" and then adjust stats up or down from there because it generally takes less clicks, and the bug comes into effect when you raise strength and then try to lower it back to 8. So if you just never raise it beyond what you want it at during the character creation process, you can make your PC with the correct strength.

I was gonna say, I didn't see a bug and had no problem entering the game with an 8 strength human. But I never hit "recommended."

If you get stuck you seem to be able to go back, change the race to something non-human, change it to human again then raise it manually without hitting "recommended"
