Melee Attack
A Melee Attack is made whenever you are attacking a creature within your Reach, usually adjacent to you. The melee attack is used when striking an opponent, when attempting to grab another creature, and when using a Melee Weapon (see Weapon Attacks below). The Melee Attack is dependent on a combination of Strength Accuracy (StrA), Melee Combat Training, and the Level modifier (LVLM). Calculate your character's Melee Attack with the following equation:
Melee Attack = StrA + Melee Combat Training + LVLM + Bonuses
Melee Weapon Attack
If you are using a Melee Weapon, calculate your Melee Weapon Attack by adding your weapon's precision into the Melee Attack Calculation.
Melee Weapon Attack = Weapon Precision + StrA + Melee Combat Training + LVLM + Miscellaneous Bonuses
Unarmed Attacks
Most creatures can make an Unarmed Attack, and so are never without a Weapon. Some creatures have other Natural Weapons, such as teeth and claws.
