Offense

Offense is a general combat skill, and broadly represents your character's ability to land blows on an opponent. Offense works regardless of any specific equipment held in your hands, and combines with weapon specific training when applicable to determine how likely you are to hit your opponent and how decisive those blows are.

Offense is governed by strength (primary) and intelligence (secondary). Offense has a chance to train every time you swing an attack at an opponent, assuming that opponent possesses a sufficient lethality to challenge you.

Offense is a natural skill, meaning that all characters receive it for free during character creation.
