Combat: damage and accuracy

The accuracy and damage stats are measured in points and increase through equipment, skills, and raising base stats.

• DAMAGE (damroll, dr) affects the strength of your strike. The higher this value, the harder you will hit your enemy.

• ACCURACY (hitroll, hr) affects your ability to find weak spots in an opponent's defence. The higher this value, the less often you will miss the enemy.

Accuracy also pierces armor: the higher it is, the less of your blow the enemy's armor stops. Against armor you are short of accuracy, every point counts, and past that each new point gives less and less.

Accuracy depends on luck. Even the most skilled warriors may sometimes get an unlucky twitch of the hand (called a critical miss), while hopeless fighters can by some miracle break through an opponent's defence (critical hit), even when accuracy was not sufficient.

Hobbits, the luckiest race in Dreamland, turn a critical miss into a hit.
