Swordsmanship

Swordsmanship is a combat skill valuable to any character that wants to increase their accuracy with swords and slashing weapons. Most classes have the ability to learn some swordsmanship.

Usage

Swordsmanship is a passive skill that determines the accuracy of a slashing weapon's attack.

Limitations

Swordsmanship only works with slashing weapons, such as a longsword or halberd. It does not affect the accuracy of any other kind of weapon. An exception to this rule is made if a weapon has the magical property Use Best Weapon Skill, in which case the weapon uses the weapon skill (Swordsmanship, Mace Fighting or Fencing) that the character is most proficient in.

Synergy

Hit chance can be affected by a few other factors as well, including a character's dexterity or magic items with the Hit Chance Increase property.
