[drg]: This thing sucks.

Please note that this is by no means the final version and therefore it doesn't include everything there
is to combat.
Combat System


Effectiveness of character's combat ability is determined by three factors:
1)	The maneuver he is using.
2)	The weapon he is using.
3)	The armour he is using.

Maneuver has got these attributes:
1)	Offense
2)	Damage
3)	Defense
4)	Protection
5)	Fatique
6)	Weapon Types
7)	Speed

Weapon has got these attributes:
1)	Offense
2)	Damage
3)	Defense
4)	Encumbrance
5)	Speed

Armour has got these attributes:
1)	Offense
2)	Defense
3)	Protection
4)	Encumbrance

Explanations of these attributes
Damage:		Damage determines how effective the character's attack is.
Defense:	Defense determines how difficult the character is to hit.
Offense:	Offense determines how easily the character hits.
Protection:	Protection determines how hard the character is to hurt.
Fatique:	Fatique determine how tiring the maneuver is.
Encumbrance:	Determines how much the item weighs.
Weapon Types:	This attribute determines how many different weapon types
		can be used with the maneuver.
Speed:		Speed determines how quickly the character can attack.


Maneuvers, Weapons and Armour are built by using points. Weapon Types is used
as an example at the table below.

Cost	Class	Types
+16	1	7 (all?)
+8	2	6
+4	3	5
+2	4	4
+1	5	3
+0	6	2
-1	7	1
-2	8	-
-4	9	-
-8	10	-
-16	11	-

Cost:
To balance the game all the maneuvers (and likewise weapons and armour) 
should cost the same amount of points.

Maneuver Cost: 7 points
Weapon Cost: 5 points
Armour Cost: 4 points

Elven Lightning: 
		Very quick, fairly exhausting maneuver which does good 
		damage and offers good defense. If opponent hits, it is 
		gonna hurt because defense is open. It can only be 
		performed with a one handed sword.

Trollish Crusher: 
		The favourite of old Mokrar. It is a simple bash with 
		a huge slub (either one or two handed) It hits fairly 
		well and does hurt a lot when it does hit.

Mercenary's Standard:
		Mercenary's Standard is used by those mercenaries who 
		know that they are mortals. Therefore they protect 
		themselves pretty well and hit their opponent with steady
		hits with their sword which can be either one or two 
		handed. 

Thief's Circle:
		This extremely tiring maneuver is a surprise move. It 
		can be used to circle behind your opponent's back and 
		stabbing him hard with your dagger. It is very
		quick to perform but if your opponents gets a strike 
		through your circle say your life goodbye.
