'ENHANCED DAMAGE' Syntax: AUTOMATIC While some guilds focus on meditation and spellcasting, others still prefer to strike harder with their weapons. The enhanced damage ability allows the attacker to increase the effectiveness of his melee attacks, turning average weapons lethal in their hands. Offhand attacks are not affected by enhanced damage unless one is either a ranger, shadow or thief. Note that two-handed weapons have a doubled damroll contribution from strength, which is applied *after* enhanced damage is applied. This skill is applied directly after the weapon's damage roll is calculated, damroll after that, and then the other modifies like spells, vulns and resistances follow damroll. Warriors, thieves, rangers, berserkers, shadows, dark-knights, paladins and bards can learn enhanced damage. Monks rely on their knowledge of anatomy instead of an enhanced damage skill.
