Background

As with every skill category, each point put into Melee raises both of its skills, up to 50 points each; after that the player specialises by putting points into 1-Handed Melee or 2-Handed Melee directly. Every 20 points in a skill unlocks a tier bonus, from Novice at 20 to Virtuoso at 150. Strength is the attribute tied to melee weapons and melee damage.
