== Introduction ==
Combat rating is the system in wurmWurm, which decides how often you miss and get missed in combat. It is a numerical value calculated from a variety of factors. A higher combat rating makes you hit your opponent more, while making your opponent hit you less.
== The system ==
'''Combat Rating system info from Rolf:
''First of all, the bonus is applied to something that is called Combat Rating or CR for short in the system. Every creature has one. It is very similar to the concept of levels in other games, just that it fluctuates a lot more in wurmWurm. It is the basis for calculating the chance to hit another creature. Players have a base combat rating of 4.
''If the troll I am fighting has CR 10 and I have CR 4 I have about 4/(10+4) chance to hit the troll, or 29% every attack. The troll on the other hand has 10/14 so it'll hit me 71% of his attacks.
== Acquiring combat rating ==
Every player in wurm Wurm and every creature has assigned a specific combat rating at all times. However, it is a large bundle of variables, not only determined by your skill, but also by your location and your kingdom population.
'''Confirmed variables to effect your combat rating:'''
''[[Fighting ]] skill.'' One of the basic ways of acquiring a high combat rating is, of course, to get a high fighting skill. Your fighting skill gives different combat rating depending on whether you are fighting an NPC creature, or you're fighting in PvP combat. ''[[Normal fighting]] (fighting subskill).'' "Max combat rating bonus for normal fighting was raised to 2.5" -Release notes July 12, 2011
''Kingdom bonus.'' An Elevation- and Chaos-only feature, there are two steps to this kingdom bonus. If your kingdom has less than 20% of the server online, you receive an extra 1 combat rating. If your kingdom constitutes less than 10% of the server population, you gain another point of combat rating, for a total of 2 extra.

*Riding Horses and Carts == Other notes == [[Fightinghorses]] subskill currently have no effect on combat rating. They may have other effects however. Due to the double-working nature of combat rating, getting more will not only make you hit more, but also get hit less. It is believed that PVP and PVE use different formula. Neither of which have had substantial testing to know the inner workings.carts
