Fencing

Fencing is a combat skill valuable to any character that wants to increase their accuracy with daggers, spears, and other piercing weapons. Many classes can learn to fence, but rogues excel at fencing beyond most other classes.

Usage

Fencing is a passive skill that determines the accuracy of a piercing weapon's attack.

Limitations

Fencing only works with piercing weapons, such as a dagger or pike. 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.
