The logic is that the stronger the target, the more of a charge it would take to lock up the muscles. So an attack that would incapacitate someone with a STR of 10 might only partially incapacitate someone with a Strength of 25. Anyway, that's if you want to use Entangle as the mechanic. If you think the paralysis should be equally effective regardless of Strength, I'd go with Mind Control based on Con.
