Subject: Re: [eqbards] Abashi finally responds... sort of


i actually have a few questions about this stuff.
+1 str == +1 atk right?

now, is atk like ac in that it is made of up 2 numbers, like chance to hit, and damage
done, sorta like damage avoidance and damage absorption? if so, then real damage
applied would also have to increase.

anyone got a good link to the analysis done on this?
