Attack

In use

How often the blow lands.

What it governs

  • Accuracy. Attack, Strength and Defence are three separate, visible skills.Charter, Part II — Combat group
  • Trained on real violence, animals included. Killing a beast carries no infamy.
  • Better equipment makes a citizen more effective and never more permitted.

What happens today

A citizen can strike, and the world counts every swing.

What opens, and when

The charter gives Attack no ladder and no levels.

Not yet

Metal weapons: a struck blade or a hafted spear is swung like any hard thing; no sword or mace yet.
