And
85% Fire Resistance (exceeding the FR Cap) from a combination of shield and rings.
The deflection from the shield applies to a maximum of 8 opponents in a forward 120 degree arc from the shield’s facing. This shield also reduces Movement Speed and Dodge chance by a base 25% and 50% respectively – these debuffs are based on the shield’s weight and size, so theoretically if wielded by a giant they would not apply… and finally -20% Movement Speed and -40% Dodge chance from wearing a combination of medium armour and heavy armour.

This means Ligan has a total of:
-45% Movement Speed
= -11.25% Attack Speed, and
-90% Dodge Chance

Weapons Speed, Attack Speed and Movement Speed

Weapon Speed:
Dagger: +20%
Short Sword / Rapier: 15%
Small Axe / Katana / Staff: +10%
Long Sword / Long Spear: +5%
War Axe / Bastard Sword: 0%
One Handed Hammer: -5%
Two Handed Sword: -10%
Two Handed Axe/Halberd: -15%
Two Handed Hammer: -20%

For each of the bottom four ranks, the Negative Weapon Speed imposes a cap:
-20/40/60/80% Maximum Attack Speed. e.g. a Two Handed Hammer, after bonuses has a maximum attack speed of +20% (ie max 40% increase from -20%). Exceeding the latter cap imposes the same debuff as exceeding the normal 100% cap as below.

Attack Speed is capped at 200%
0-100%: no change
101-125%: -15% Accuracy and -10% Less Damage
126-150%: -30% Accuracy, -20% Less Damage, +5% Critical Miss
151-200%: -60% Accuracy, -30% Less Damage, +10% Critical Miss

Note: Attack Speed is voluntary; you can slow down to any speed you prefer.
Attack Speed is derived from: Weapon Skill /4, Base Weapon Speed, Movement Speed /4, Magic Item Bonuses, Frenzy Ability, Cascade Ability, Haste Spells, with final Base Weapon Speed Cap.

Attack Speed is Capped by Weapon Speed as follows:

Very Fast: 150% (unarmed, dagger, shortsword, katana, nunchaku etc)

Fast: 100% (long sword, hand-axe, staff etc)

Average: 75% (war axe, club, greatsword, spear, bow, hand crossbow etc)

Slow: 50% (halberd, two handed axe, recurve bow, crossbow etc)

Very Slow: 25% (two handed hammer, ballista, large crossbow etc)

Attacks per Round

1 round = 3 seconds
3 Fast Attacks or
2 Normal Attacks or
1 Power Attack

Fast Attack: -15% Critical Hit Chance and -10% Less Damage, -20% Dodge (antagonist)
Normal Attack: +10% Accuracy
Power Attack: +30% More Damage, +30% Chance to Dodge (antagonist)

Attack speed increases the base number of attacks by the relevant percentage, rounded up.

For Example, a single handed weapon, with +50% Attack Speed
= 1 Power Attack + 1 Normal Attack
= 3 Normal Attacks
= 5 Fast Attacks

Dual Wielding adds 50% to the potential number of attacks, but with -30% Accuracy and -20% Less Damage unless the Dual Wield Ability is taken.
= 1 Power Attack (with both weapons!)
= 3 Normal Attacks
= 5 Fast Attacks.

Dual Wielding at 100% Attack Speed
= 2 Power Attacks (both weapons)
= 6 Normal Attacks (3 for each weapon)
= 10 Fast Attacks (Maximum 10 per round)

Movement Speed
Movement Speed is capped at 150%
0-75%: no change
76-100%: -15% Accuracy and -10% Agility
101-125%: -30% Accuracy, -20% Agility, 5% chance of falling damage
126-150%: -60% TOTAL Accuracy, -30% Agility, 10% chance of falling damage

Note: Movement Speed is voluntary; you can slow down to any speed you prefer.
Movement Speed is derived from: Racial Abilities, Fleetness Ability, Armour Bonus Ability, Burst of Speed Ability, Haste Spells, and Magic Item Bonuses, all of which can stack. It is also influenced by Terrain, Fatigue and Status Effects.
25% of Movement Speed is applied to Attack Speed.

Other Caps
General Resistances are all capped at 75%
Critical Hits are capped at 50%, but can be exceeded by Status effects like Entangle, Slow and Stun, and by the Rogue Ability Precision Strike

Accuracy and Dodge
Weapon Accuracy is Increased by Weapon Skill /2, Strength /4, Agility /2 and bonuses from some weapons and items.

10% of accuracy gives 1% Bonus to Critical Hit, 150% Accuracy = 15% Critical Hit Bonus, Status effects like Entangle and Slow grants +25% to the pre-existing Critical Hit Chance, Stun grants +50%. Critical Hit Chance is normally capped at 50%, other than during the latter status effects.
Spell Accuracy is Increased by Intellect / point, plus bonuses from some items and Special Abilities (such as Luck), Spell Penetration, and Combat Casting. Spell Penetration (Passive) and high Intellect (over 100) lower the basic resistance to the Spell type being cast.

Dodge Chance is base 25%, Increased by Agility /2 and Movement Speed /2 and reduced and increased by creature size: +40% for Tiny, +20% for Small, 0% for Average, -20% for Large, -40% for Giant, -60% Leviathan. Also affected by visibility, ground, status effects, area of affect.

Under normal chances a person has 20% base chance to dodge up to 3 melee attacks per round. This is reduced by 20% per extra attack over 3. A character with Level 3 Dodge Ability can dodge an extra 3 attacks per round with no penalty. Arrows can be dodged or deflected at -20% per arrow, and +/- 10% per rank of archer ability used. If a character cannot see an arrow coming (blind, confused, invisible arrow) it cannot be dodged, unless there is some esp available. The Monk Arrow Deflection ability allows a magic tapping into the fade, giving increased chance to deflect any physical ranged attack, seen or unseen.

Large Crossbow 0% AS, 30-90, 30% AP, 4-6 second loading
Ballista 0% AS, 100-500, 50% AP, 10-15 second loading

Note I: Crossbow attack speed cannot be increased.
Crossbow Attack Speed is based on the Rate of Fire (ROF) not the actual Weapon Speed: if a quarrel is pre-oaded, then the attack speed for all crossbows applies automatic Quick Draw bonuses to initiative, accuracy and speed – for that first shot only. If an arrow from a bow is knocked and aimed, also applies the same Quick Draw bonuses.

Note II: Arrow / Bow Base Weapon Damage applies at Medium Range.

Long Range Applies +20% More Damage and -20% Accuracy
Medium Range Applies no bonuses or penalties
Short Range Applies -10% Less Damage and +20% Accuracy
Melee Range Applies -50% Less Damage and -20% Accuracy

Crossbows have the same Accuracy and Damage at Melee, Short and Medium Range, at Long Range apply -40% Accuracy and -20% Less Damage

Each grade of weapon changes the base damage:
Bronze (-10%) Iron (0) Steel (+10%) Mithril (+20%) Adamantite (+30%)

For example:
Bronze Longsword: 9-54
Iron Longsword: 10-60
Steel Longsword: 11-66
Silver Longsword: 12-72
Mithril Longsword: 13-78
Adamantite Longsword: 14-84

Furthermore if the weapon is damaged it looses 20/40/60% damage based on the amount of wear and tear. Further damage to a weapon at -60% will break it.

Status Effects

Weapon Damage Types:
Slashing / Bleeding: Sword, Dagger, Axe, Spear, Halberd
Cleaving / Deep Wounds: Axe, Halberd
Puncturing / Deep Wounds: Bow, Spear, Dagger, Sword, Halberd
Crushing / Broken Bones: Hammer, Club, Staff, Hand to Hand, Chain

(Cleaving and Puncturing are the same essential damage type, granting deep wounds status effects)

Note:
Curved Sword: Slashing 80% / Puncturing 10% / Bleeding 10%
Straight Sword: Slashing 70% / Puncturing 30%
Short Sword: Slashing 40% / Puncturing 60%
Dagger: Slashing 30% / Puncturing 70%
Spear: Slashing 20% / Puncturing 80%
Staff-Spear: Slashing 10% / Puncturing 60% / Crushing 30%
Halberd: Slashing 30% / Cleaving 40% / Crushing 30%
Axe: Slashing 30% / Cleaving 70%
Pick Axe: Slashing 20% / Cleaving 70% / Armour Piercing 10%
Hammer and Mace: Crushing 100%
Pick Hammer: Puncturing 40% / Crushing 60%
Arrow: Puncturing 90% / Armour Piercing 10%
Bolt: Puncturing 80% / Armour Piercing 20%
Ballista Bolt: Puncturing 70% / Armour Piercing 30%
Catapult Boulder: Crushing 50% / Falling Damage 50%

The various damage types of each weapon are flexible. The higher the skill level gives the percentage that the user can choose that particular damage type. This makes the Staff-Spear and Halberd class weapons the most flexible, and most Hammer class weapons inflexible (though weight for weight the latter do the most damage).

Spell and Poison Damage Types:
Elemental: Cold, Fire, Shock, Physical (typically crushing)
Poison: Health, Stamina, Mana, Statistic
Other: Sonic, Life Leech

Status Effect List
Elemental: Burning, Freezing, Palsy / Electrocute
Health: Sickness, Illness, Fatigue, Mana Burn, Statistic Damage,
Mental: Taunt, Charm, Stun, Fear, Confuse, Enrage, Forget, Dominate, Maze
Movement: Interrupt, Knockdown, Slow, Entangle
Physical: Bleeding, Broken Bones, Deep Wounds
Other: Blindness, Deafness, Senseless, Sonic Stun, Ability Nullifier

Status affects are applied on critical hits or near max damage (90-100%) with the same % as the original critical hit chance, with the following two caveats: for every % less than 5% of the antagonists total health, this chance is reduced by 10%, for every % over 10% this chance is increased by 1%. Therefore if a critical hit (after mitigation) does less than 1% damage to the antagonists total health, it will not apply a status affect. If a critical hit does 60% or more of the creatures total it will apply automatically. Creatures that are immune to critical hits cannot be affected by status ailments.

Crushing Damage: all blunt weapons can apply, on either critical hits, or near max damage rolls (90-100%) the Broken Bones status. Broken bones cause 10% reduction in strength and reduces movement speed by 10%. If the damage is greater than 10% of the creature’s total health, then the reduction is by the same percentage. Lasts until healed from rest. Creatures who have no bones are immune. (Creatures who are all bones – skeletons – have a 50% increased chance to proc this effect.)

Cleaving / Puncturing Damage: Deep Wounds on critical or near max damage. Causes 10% reduction in agility and attack speed. If the damage is greater than 10% of the creature’s total health, then the reduction is by the same percentage. Lasts until healed. Creatures who have no internal organs are immune. (Trees, Golems, Mountain Giants, Slimes, Elementals, Ghosts, Mummies)

Slashing Damage: Bleeding Status on critical or near max damage (90-100%). Causes an extra 1% damage (of the original total) per round until 50% more damage is done unless healed or staunched. If the original damage is greater than 10% of the creature’s total health, then the extra bleed increases by 1% per round per 10 point increase. Creatures who have no blood/fluid are immune. (Golems, Mountain Giants, Ghosts, Skeletons)

Fire Damage: Burning causes extra damage while the creature is on fire, as per bleeding damage. Accuracy is reduced by 20% / level of burn until the fire is put out.
Cold Damage: Freezing reduces movement and attack speed as per cleaving status.
Shock Damage: Electrocute / Palsy reduces intellect and interrupts active abilities by 10% / level of damage.
Poison Damage: Sickness reduces stamina or mana in addition to DoT effect, 10% / level of damage.
Disease: catching a disease is an automatioc status affect: Illness varies based on time, vulnerability and general health
Life Leech: Wilt – a critical hit also reduces charisma and luck by 10% / level of damage.
Movement Debuff: Knockdown / Entangle: +/- 20% / size class difference

Stun causes complete immobility, which also results in greater Critical Hit Chance: +50%.
Entanglement, Web, Slow (greater than 30%), Blindness and Fear affect movement significantly, and also result in increased Critical Hit Chance: +20%.

Note: the Critical Hit Chance Cap (50%) is exceeded by status effect modifiers.
In some cases a particularly nasty blow from a weapon can cause damage across more than one table: an arrow can cause bleed, or break bones, a hammer can cause internal bleeding etc. True combat is fluid and painful in more ways than one.

Example:
An adamantite two-handed hammer (+30% damage) wielded with 150 Strength (+100% damage) and 150 Skill (+75% damage) would do 22-85 + 205% = 67-259 base damage, not including any other item or ability bonuses.
