[quote=@Genni] In that case I'll make it one Standard arrow to a knee for each of the three Undead Soldiers currently in sight. Since we regenerate 10 points per post, and she's only looking to inconvenience the targets rather than kill them outright as well as aiming for quick firing rather than long charged shots, Arwyn will only channel 3 points of mana per shot, draining her of a total of 9 mana for this round of firing which will immediately regenerate again keeping her on 50 total MP. Would that make her attack damage (Strength 4 x Weapon Power 3) = 12 Damage per successful attack? Or is it just Weapon Power 3 = 3 Damage per successful attack? Once she sees how well, or how poorly, the attacks work the shadowbow will be able to tailor the strength of her shots appropriately. No need to drain herself completely with an opening barrage if only the bare minimum is needed to halt the creatures' advance. [/quote] Normally it would be weapon damage + strength = attack damage. Then defense/resistance - attack damage =damage dealt. If a creature has a resistance to magic or physical ofcourse damage will go down just like if you aim for the head, damage will go up. So theres a few variables. [quote=@Pseudo Stygian] Ah, yeah, I'm gonna have to wait for some clarification on how stats affect damage too. Nanda gonna buff somebody but I got no idea which stat would best suit whatever she's intending to do. Like, is Strength exclusively for deciding the things they can carry, or does that affect physical attack damage too? How about speed? If say, Arton was defending himself against the undead with his shield, would that be in any way affected by his Endurance or his Vitality? [/quote] Strength helps with damage but ultimately, the attack of the weapon is gonna be the most damage. Increasing strength would also increase damage. In Artons situation, strength will determine how well he can hold them back and endurance will determine how long he can hold them back. Vitality will determine how many blows he can take whole he holds them back. Speed however wouldn't be a factor for this type of action.
