The Tactics skill modifies weapon damage for all melee and ranged weapons. Its effects scale with skill level, providing increasing benefits as a player's Tactics skill improves.
Mechanics
From 0 to 100, the additional damage per attack is calculated as:
Base Weapon Damage * (-50% + (Tactics Skill / 200))
For values above 100, the additional damage is determined by:
Base Weapon Damage * (1% * (Tactics Skill - 100))
Damage Calculation Examples
Example 1: Player with 110 Tactics
For a player with 110 Tactics and a Base Weapon Damage roll of 25:
- Calculate the 0 to 100 portion, treating Tactics as 100:
25 * (-50% + (100 / 200)) = 0
- Add the bonus for Tactics above 100:
25 * (1% * 10) = 2.5
- The final hit, assuming no other bonuses, is 27.5 damage.
Example 2: Player with 50 Tactics
For a player with 50 Tactics and a Base Weapon Damage roll of 25: 1. Calculate the 0 to 100 portion:
25 * (-50% + (50 / 200)) = -6.25
2. Since Tactics is below 100, no additional bonus is applied. 3. The final hit, assuming no other bonuses, is 18.75 damage.
