+====== Melee Combat Mechanic ======
+{{ rpd:images:item_ShortSword.png|Melee Weapon }}
+**Melee Combat** is the primary form of combat in Remixed Dungeon, where the hero engages enemies directly in hand-to-hand combat using weapons that require close proximity.
+==== Description ====
+Melee combat involves direct physical engagement between characters. The attacking character must be adjacent to their target to perform a melee attack. This form of combat is the standard for most weapons and character abilities.
+==== Combat Mechanics ====
+  * **Adjacency Requirement**: Attacker and target must be on adjacent cells (including diagonally)
+  * **Attack Roll**: Attacker's accuracy vs target's evasion determines hit chance
+  * **Damage Calculation**: Weapon damage + random variance, reduced by target's armor
+  * **Attack Speed**: Determined by weapon speed and character bonuses
+  * **Critical Hits**: 5% base chance to deal 2x damage (modified by various factors)
+==== Accuracy and Evasion ====
+  * **Accuracy**: Affected by weapon's accuracy modifier and character's strength
+  * **Evasion**: Based on character's dexterity and armor class
+  * **Penalties**: Various conditions can affect accuracy and evasion (darkness, confusion, etc.)
+==== Damage Calculation ====
+  * **Base Damage**: Weapon damage range (min to max value)
+  * **Damage Reduction**: Target's armor DR (Damage Reduction) mitigates incoming damage
+  * **Final Damage**: (Weapon damage) - (Target armor DR) + randomness factor
+==== Special Considerations ====
+  * **Encumbrance**: Carrying heavy items reduces accuracy and evasion
+  * **Surprise Attacks**: Attacking unaware enemies has increased accuracy
+  * **Environmental Effects**: Terrain, light, and status effects can influence combat
+  * **Weapon Upgrades**: Higher upgrade levels improve both accuracy and damage
