Specific quest requirements
Although in general a typical balanced team can defeat any quest of the appropriate level, certain quests have a special requirement for completion. Sometimes that requirement is absolute and unavoidable, while other times there are challenging and dangerous workarounds. Additionally, it is much more common that a quest have a special requirement for optional challenges and rewards.
In all cases, when an Ability score is required, it can be achieved with temporary buff effects (note that even with +6 or higher items, Strength can be increased a further 2 points with the Rage spell/potion, and 2 more with the Madstone Rage.)
Note: certain breakable doors in game, the ones that specifically require a minimum Strength check to bash them down, can also usually be destroyed by thrown weapon damage or Fireball and such spells. Carrying those spells/wands might be a good idea for a low-strength character; Scorched Bracers from the Chronoscope raid has three charges for those characters with low UMD.
