| + | You open the guide to Close Combat and start reading. | ||

| + | * To become a mighty warrior, you need basically three things: A good weapon, good armour and physical toughness. Then you can kill your foes simply by "running into them". | ||
| + | * Physical toughness means you will need high Str (for good attacking power) and Con (for many hit points) -stats. Look for "potions of Strength/Constitution". Try to get items that speed up your health-regeneration too. | ||
| + | * Weapons will be very important for you. Note that every weapon has certain "attacktypes". Most monsters are vulnerable able to one or two attacktypes. Search for artifact weapons and experiment with different weapons on different monsters. | ||
| + | * You should know that there are ways to enchant ordinary weapons. However, it tends to be very costly. | ||
| + | * It can be helpful to advance at least a very little bit in divine magic. Spells for healing, curing and protections can save your life more than once. | ||
| + | * Use resist. potions to level up quickly. | ||
| + | * Feeling strong already? Hah - You're a greenhorn unless you can at least kill a titan with one hit! | ||

| + | ===== Attacking ===== | ||
| + | Combat can be thought of as a sequence of attacks. Each attack can be described as: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - An attack is initiated using a combat skill of an attacker against a defender. | ||
| + | - A saving throw is made by the defender (in the case of a [[:attack_types:physical]] [[:attack_types|attack type]], this is the defenders [[characters:AC]] compared to the attackers [[characters:WC]]) | ||
| + | - If the saving throw was successful the attack is cancelled | ||
| + | - If the saving throw was unsuccessful, the attackers damage is calculated using the combat skill | ||
| + | - The [[characters:dam|damage]] is reduced by the defenders [[characters:resistance]] or in the case of physical 'armour' | ||
| + | - The resultant damage is dealt to the defender by adjusting a [[:characters]] statistics such as [[characters:hp]] | ||
