Players can influence their effectiveness in combat in many ways, such as boosting their combat via perks.

Combat variables

There are several variables in combat that moderate an entity's performance. Life points are possessed by players and foes, whereas the other mechanisms are used in foes sparingly or restrictively.

  • health - Health represent how much damage a player or creature can withstand. When an entity loses all its life points, it dies. A player's maximum life points is at 100. The primary method of recovering life points is either staying outside of combat for regen, or eating food. Armour also provides reduction to how much damage you can receive. sanguine urn - Sanguine urns are items found within Ashenfall that boosts max health by 10. Collecting them all would provide 280 total health.[sic]
  • stamina - Stamina represents how much energy a player has to be able to attack, dodge or block. If a player runs out of stamina, they will be unable to attack or dodge and blocking will cause them to stagger (parrying can regain some stamina). The Primary method of recovering stamina is allowing it to regen on its own. There are perks that grants some reduction to stamina.

Trivia

  • In RuneScape, as well as Old School RuneScape and RuneScape Classic, combat has a system known as the "Combat Triangle". A means to explain how a melee user beats a ranged user, a ranged user beats a magic user, and a magic user beats a melee user. In RuneScape: Dragonwilds, there is no system. Instead, the armour of each combat style provide defences against their counterpart, with the highest defence towards the same combat style they are from.
  • Prior to 0.12.0: Armour also provided Lifeward, or Wardshield, acting as a shield of additional hit points. Newly crafted armour would have full Lifeward. After it was lost, it could be restored using wardstones or the Soul Food perk, prior to the perk being changed.
