Translations:Krieg/154/en

When a fighter manages to hit his opponent, he inflicts damage. Different weapons inflict different amounts of damage (damage points, see Weapon characteristics). It's also worthwhile having high levels of skill in weapon mastery: if you have more skill levels than your opponent, the damage inflicted by a hit increases by one point for every two skill levels difference. Only skill levels are considered, and the bonuses provided by horses, castles, etc. do not count. This applies to both ranged and close combat. In addition, there is a certain chance, depending on the level difference, of receiving a critical hit that can cause up to five times more damage.
