-{{:items:enchanted_sword.png?nolink }} **Attack Skill** is offensive martial talent, particularly in melee combat. When attacking someone else, your Attack Skill gets a [[DRN]] roll, the defender gets a [[Defence Skill]] DRN roll, and the result of the attack depends on the result.+{{:dom6:stats:att.png?nolink }} **Attack Skill** is an offensive martial talent, most often used in melee combat to determine whether an attack hits successfully. When attacking with a melee weapon, the attacker’s Attack Skill gets a [[DRN]] roll added and this is compared to the defender’s [[Defence Skill]] plus a DRN roll. To successfully attack and proceed to the damage checks the attacker's total must beat the defender's total (noting the interaction below with shield parry bonus):
  
   * **If the Attack result is higher than the Defence result**, the attack lands, ignoring the target's shield (if they have one).   * **If the Attack result is higher than the Defence result**, the attack lands, ignoring the target's shield (if they have one).
-  * **If the Attack result is lower than the Defence result**, what happens depends on if the defender's Parry bonus is what's responsible. +  * **If the Attack result is lower than or equal to the Defence result**, what happens depends on if the defender's Parry bonus is what's responsible. 
-        *  **If the Parry bonus is what makes the difference**, the attack hits the target's shield, and the shield's [[Protection]] value matters.+        *  **If the Parry bonus is what makes the difference**, the attack hits the target's shield, and the shield's [[Protection]] value is used in damage calculations.
         * **If the Parry bonus is not what made the difference**, the attack misses completely.         * **If the Parry bonus is not what made the difference**, the attack misses completely.

   * [[Fatigue]] effectively reduces Attack Skill, with every 20 points of Fatigue counting as **-1** Attack Skill. This is less severe than the drop-off for Defence Skill (-1 for every 10 points), however, so both frontlines "fatiguing out" will result in more hits landed on both sides.   * [[Fatigue]] effectively reduces Attack Skill, with every 20 points of Fatigue counting as **-1** Attack Skill.
