What types of attacks do weapons have?
Weapons can do Fatigue damage, physical damage (crushing/cutting/etc.), poison damage, electrical damage, and fire damage. Beating on someone with a weapon that does lots of Fatigue damage will wear them down, and can even knock them out instead of killing them. Weapons like this are nice against spell-casters, as they hamper their ability to cast spells (since spells cost Fatigue to cast). There are also critical hit charts, which are based on several factors: weapon type (bladed, bludgeon, etc.), the target’s armor, and which location on the target is being attacked (torso, head, etc.). Aiming for specific body locations is accomplished through the use of hot-keys. While harder to hit certain locations, the benefit to hitting them is that any critical hits will be more effective. For instance, targeting a creature’s head is likely to cause more Fatigue damage than normal, so you could knock someone out more easily this way.
