Melee skill
For ranged skill information, see Ranged Skill.
Melee skills use melee weapons (axes, swords, maces, etc.) to perform attacks. The damage of these attacks is based on the weapons equipped. When using melee skills such as Infernal Blow without a weapon equipped, damage is based on the character's base unarmed damage.
These skills have the Melee keyword.
Weapon Restrictions
Not all skills are usable with all types of weapons. Use the following table to help you design your melee character's skills.
