(Non-special) corpse raising STR potential - bug?

[Harwin]

Are giant corpses supposed to be able to raise my potential strength? I thought they weren't able to anymore. Just wanted to check before I reported it as a bug. Searched for "corpse potential" and it wasn't clear.

Was it a stone giant lord ?

Some can, I've had more luck with frost giant berserkers and jarls, and I seem to recall a slight chance from stone Giants.

I was under the impression there's supposed to be a slight chance of this. When TB put in the 'potentials = hard cap' feature (http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=1117), he said,

"Changed the rate at which potentials can rise."

So I think it is possible to exceed potentials, just way harder/less likely.

Was a frost giant jarl.

Yep, they seem to have the best chances. I actually find the FGJC are the best way to gain str. If my char has food pres/ cooking. Can get pretty high, just save the normal giants for str gain, and the jarls and berserkers for potential gain.
