[Weapon] Main-Hand Melee

The One-Handed Melee is a weapon skill. It requires 1 hand to operate. It requires a Body Stat equal or greater than the Tier value of the weapon to operate.

Melee attacks are contested actions & thus may be used with a non-contested action in each round.

This skill may be used with any combination of Off-Handed weapon skills or a Shield.

The range for One-Handed Melee weapons requires being in a tile next to the opponent either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Hitting with Melee is a contested action vs opponent where each add their Rflx+ [weapon skill] + 1d20 (opponent may technically use any weapon skill in defense – even if it is not equipped). The winner adds the roll difference to their damage calculation.

Damage with One-Handed Melee is: [roll difference] + Body Stat + Tier value of the weapon.

May be used with the Stealth skill (see: Skill – “Stealth”).
