Tactics

Tactics is a combat skill used by any character that values doing more damage with their attacks. It is currently usable by all classes to varying degrees.

Usage

Tactics is a passive skill that determines the base damage value of a weapon's attack. The formula is: (Tactics + 50)%. So, if a character has 100 Tactics, their base damage would be 150% of their weapon's normal damage. If a character has 0 Tactics, they would only be able to do 50% of their weapon's normal damage. Because of this, some skill in Tactics is essential for any character that plans on using physical attacks!

Limitations

It should be noted that Tactics only works with physical attacks. Mage characters who are seeking to increase their magical damage require the Evaluating Intelligence skill.

Synergy

The damage bonus granted by Tactics works in tandem with the damage bonus granted by the Anatomy skill, Lumberjacking skill (for axes), the character's Strength, and any damage-increasing magic items the character has equipped. Each damage increase value is calculated separately and then added together to form a comprehensive damage increase percentage.
