Maintenance is a combat skill.

Overview

“

"XYZ."

This skill XYZ.

The maintenance skill reduces the chance for a melee weapon to lose condition on each hit. For the firearms equivalent, see aiming.

Skill effects

Experience is gained when the player hits an enemy, tree, or door with a melee weapon, and the weapon used does not lose any condition from that hit. As a result, training this skill is more effective with a weapon that has a lower chance of losing condition on a hit.

The chance of a weapon losing condition on a hit is lowered by both the player's maintenance skill and their skill in that weapon's associated skill. The maintenance modifier m is added to the Condition Lower Chance of the weapon n for a 1 in n + m chance of lowering the weapon's condition by one on a hit. The modifier is calculated by adding the player's maintenance level to half of the weapon proficiency level rounded down, then dividing the sum of those two by 2 and rounding down, and finally multiplying that result by 2.
