[edit] Hand-to-hand (not) a normal weapon?

I did a test on a summoned Ancestral Ghost, hitting it just fine with my bare hands. Normal Weapons are defined as made from Iron or Steel, see Resist Normal Weapons for details. --Benould^•T•C 01:32, 11 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Damage formulas?

I noticed that damage formulas for hand-to-hand are conspicuously absent. All I can determine is that Strength bonuses do not apply and that the Skill level also dictates damage. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 32.155.226.155 (talk • contribs) on 16:44, 6 November 2008 (EST).

I can only find three GMST's relating to Hand-to-Hand. The fHandtoHandReach (which probably just determines the range) is set to 1.0, and the fHandtoHandHealthPer and the fMinHandToHandMult are both set to 0.1, (The fWereWolfHandtoHand value is set to 100.0, though this I believe just means that your H2H skill is set to 100 when you are a Werewolf.) Presumably other factors might be involved - Luck usually is, and Speed is the governing attribute of H2H, so that might make a difference. There's also the possibility that your Fatigue might determine how effective your H2H attacks are. Some experimentation would need to be done to determine how those values relate to your actual damage. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 16:44, 6 November 2008 (EST)

[edit] A little secret about H2H...

Something I've found that most people don't know is that if you paralyze an enemy before engaging it with your fists, it will go straight to damage without having to drain fatigue first. This makes the Lover sign that much better!

[edit] uses for H2H

Forget killing stuff with H2H instead use as a primary skill and attack summoned creatures with it. I want to use a skill to get the ten points use H2H. I have not damaged one summon creature with it. But then I have only used a 20 sec summon skeleton skillMrp8196 02:08, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
