Melee combat

Line 1:

Melee combat is a common form of fighting in [[{{gamename}}]]. Players and other creatures can attack one another with fists, [[weapons]], [[items]], or other [[:Category:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]]. Almost any item in the entire game can be wielded by a creature and used for melee fighting. Items that aren't specifically designed to be used as melee weapons use the [[Cudgel]] skill, have a default [[PV]] of {{PV}}4, and a default [[damage]] of {{Heart}}1d2.

By base, the primary hand and weapons wielded at least in part with them is the attack that is guaranteed to be made by a creature when bump-attacking; the offhand has only a 15% chance to make an attack by base.

The [[Multiweapon Fighting]] skills increases the chance of offhand attacks made with the regular offhand only (and certain additional offhand slots that exclude mutated limbs and robotic arms - see [[Offhand]]). [[Flurry]], however, makes use of all available weapons wielded in any slot ([[Stinger]]s being an exception due to technically not being true weapons).

The {{f|Multiweapon Fighting}} skills increases the chance of offhand attacks made with the regular offhand only (and certain additional offhand slots that exclude mutated limbs and robotic arms - see [[Offhand]]). {{f|Flurry}}, however, makes use of all available weapons wielded in any slot ([[Stinger]]s being an exception due to technically not being true weapons).

[[Stinger]]s have a 20% chance of hitting whenever a regular melee attack is made; however, other limbs will never hit when the "Sting" action the mutations grant is used.

{{favilink|Helping hands|Helping hands}} and weapons wielded in them have a static 8% to attack, which is not modified by Multiweapon Fighting.

Line 76:

Certain scenarios result in guaranteed or near-guaranteed successful hit rolls against a target:

* If the target is [[stuck]] or [[overburdened]], the target's DV is automatically reduced to <code>-10</code>, which can effectively guarantee success with all attack hit rolls against them.

* Targets affected by the attacker's [[Hook and Drag]] are automatically hit by the attacker when the attacker moves.

* Targets affected by the attacker's {{f|Hook and Drag}} are automatically hit by the attacker when the attacker moves.

* If the attacker has latched on to the target (an effect unique to {{favilink | madpole |plural}} and {{favilink | leather whip | plural}}), the attacker is guaranteed to hit the target.

Line 88:

AV is calculated by adding together all of the following values. Your AV value (not including additional AV from shield block) can also be seen in-game on the sidebar or overlay bar.

* The AV value of all of the character's equipped armor (not counting shields).

* Additional AV from sources such as the [[Calloused]] skill or the [[Density_(cooking_effect)|density]] effect.

* Additional AV from sources such as the {{f|Calloused}} skill or the [[Density_(cooking_effect)|density]] effect.

* The AV value of one equipped shield if the attack is determined to be blocked by that shield.

Line 99:

* +4 bonus penetration if the enemy is [[asleep]].

* +1 bonus penetration to swarmer attackers for each additional swarmer enemy that surrounds their opponent.

* Additional bonus penetration from the [[Charge]], [[Lunge]], [[Long Blade Proficiency]], [[Improved Aggressive Stance]], [[Shank]], or [[Slam]] skills.

* Additional bonus penetration from the {{f|Charge}}, {{f|Lunge}}, {{f|Long Blade Proficiency}}, {{f|Improved Aggressive Stance}}, {{f|Shank}}, or {{f|Slam}} skills.
