Melee Combat Mechanic

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.

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.

• 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: 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.)

• 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

• 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
