Fighting rules/tips

• If you get hit, you can start "hurting". That means you move slower.
• Armour slows down the wearer.
• Bigger numbers matter. Gang up on people.
• Moving while fighting gives a penalty to the hit odds to moving people, and a big penalty to the parry odds.
• Tools and wooden items aren't good weapons.
• Shields have a percentage chance to block any melee attack, based on skill-level, up to a maximum of 75%.
  Shields should be wielded on your arm, not your hand.
• Use 'Spam Mode' to show missed blows.
• Try not to fight whilst climbing.
• Higher levels of strength are a factor in how much damage you can deal out.

Damage Types

• Swords deal cutting and stabbing damage
  
• Axes deal cutting damage
  
• Mauls deal bashing damage

• Chain Armour is extra good vs stabbing, and also gets extra damage from stabbing.
  
• Leather Armour is extra good vs bashing, and also gets extra damage from cutting.
