STRATEGY TIP: The enemy cannot swing their weapons unless they are close enough to do so. In general, successfully striking an enemy with a swinging attack will do more damage than a quick, jabbing thrust. This figure will be reduced by the defensive^ skill and armor of your opponent.

Please note that the damage information displayed at the bottom of the screen when you target an opponent represents base damage. NOTE: Objects and potions exist that will make your armor resistant to many of these special enhancements. The following visual effects will be created when characters are hit with "enhanced" weapons: (To use, drag the naphtha over to your blade and release it.) For example, a fiery substance called naphtha, though rare, can be used to create a fire-edged blade, significantly increasing the damage it will do. You will find objects that can help increase the damage caused by your weapons. Like the Accuracy figure described above, the overall condition of the character and the weapon, the class of the weapon etc., must also be considered.

The base damage of a melee attack is determined by the Strength rating of the character and the Damage rating of the weapon being used. To learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of weapons in your Inventory, right click on them.
