<span id="mechanics"></span>
== Combat Mechanics & Formulas ==
In UO:Renaissance, weapon damage is calculated based on three interconnected factors: your weapon's base damage range, your '''Tactics''' skill, your '''Strength''', and your '''Anatomy''' skill.

=== The Damage Multiplier ===
$$\text{Final Damage} = \text{Base Damage} \times \left( 1 + \frac{\text{Tactics}}{100} \times 0.5 + \frac{\text{Strength}}{100} \times 0.2 + \frac{\text{Anatomy}}{100} \times 0.2 \right)$$

* '''Tactics''': Provides up to a '''+50%''' damage bonus at 100.0 skill (Grandmaster).
* '''Anatomy''': Provides up to a '''+20%''' base damage bonus at 100.0 skill, plus a chance for critical strikes in PvM.
* '''Strength''': At 100 Strength, grants a natural '''+20%''' damage modifier.
* '''Weapon Speed''': Determines the delay between swings. Higher dexterity increases your attack speed dramatically.

<span id="swords"></span>
== Swordsmanship & Lumberjacking ==
Swordsmanship is the most versatile combat skill in Britannia, encompassing one-handed blades, shields, polearms, and heavy executioner axes.

=== The Lumberjacking Damage Bonus ===
When wielding an '''Axe''' (such as a Battle Axe, Executioner's Axe, Double Axe, or Two-Handed Axe), your character gains a massive passive damage boost based on your [[Resource Gathering#Lumberjacking|Lumberjacking]] skill:
$$\text{Lumberjack Bonus} = \frac{\text{Lumberjacking}}{100} \times 0.35$$
At 100.0 Lumberjacking, you gain a '''+35% damage bonus''' to all axe strikes!

=== Swordsmanship Weapon Table ===
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%; margin: 14px 0;"

<span id="fencing"></span>
== Fencing & Poisoning ==
Fencing is characterized by rapid strike speed and piercing damage. Fencing weapons can be coated with deadly poisons via the Poisoning skill, inflicting lethal debuffs on contact.

{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%; margin: 14px 0;"

<span id="maces"></span>
== Mace Fighting & Stamina Drain ==
Mace weapons inflict blunt trauma. Every mace strike drains the target's stamina directly and inflicts heavy durability damage to enemy armor. When an opponent's stamina drops to zero, they are unable to run or push through players!

<span id="archery"></span>
== Archery & Ranged Combat ==
Archery provides long-range physical damage, allowing marksmen to pelt monsters and enemy players from a distance. In classic Renaissance mechanics:
* Moving while drawing resets your shot timer.
* Firing consumes arrows or crossbow bolts from your backpack.
* Close-range archers suffer a slight defense penalty unless protected by a shield or high wrestling.

=== Archery Weapon Table ===
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%; margin: 14px 0;"
