Fencing

Fencing is a Melee Combat Skill, that uses weapons that consist of a "piercing/jabbing" action.

The damage for most fencing weapons is calculated predominately with few dice where as Swordsmanship is predominately calculated with more dice (2-3). Thus fencing has a more varied damage distribution.

Pros

• The weapons can be poisoned.

• Has the fastest and highest DOT (damage over time) 2-handed weapon (Short Spear).

Cons

• No stamina drain bonus attack that Mace Fighting has.

• Not the hardest hitting weapon class.

Popular Weapons

• Short Spear: The fastest hitting 2-h weapon, also has the highest DOT for 2-handed weapon
• Spear: A little slower than the short spear, yet has the potential to hit a little harder
• Kryss: The fastest and highest DOT single handed fencing weapon.
• War Fork: A fast and high damage single handed weapon
