| | | How do you melee?
Assuming you do. Do you just stand there, and hit? Do you slide around, and run about? Do you jump up in the air, sneak about--or what?

| | | I just stand there, swing and hit. I don't care for ranged weapons, and I don't do much in the way of spells, except for healing and bound item. I'll do a bit of maneuvering, but not much.

| | | I like doing anything that'll make me laugh like crazy. (it doesn't take much) like sometimes if I'm fighting someone, I'll all of a sudden use my very awesome, extremely powerful jump/slowfall spell, so I can be like "oh look! Up in the sky! It's a bird... it's a plane, no, it's beornica who's gonna kick your __ !" (sighhh. What a geek.)

| | | Usually I play the 'hit - draw back'-game. Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes I get slain...

| | | One of my characters is a spear master. Keeping enemies out of hit range is always nice. |

| | | I sneak up on 'em and whack them, or shoot 'em. Not many things survive the first hit. *grins evilly*

| | | Depends on which weapon I am using.
If something big like a longsword or an axe I just hack at them untill they are dead.
If I'm using a shorsword, I sneak then backstab then, then quickly cast invisibility on myself and watch the poor bastard run around like crazy trying to find me, and then I repeat the procedure again. |

| | | My current character is very weak, so she conjures up a ghost to keep the bad guy busy, moves to the side, then empties out her collection of enchanted rings at the poor slob.... |

| | | 1. Gulp an appropriate potion (if it seems necessary)
2. Prepare an opening-volley scroll, enchanted item or (rarely) a spell (if it seems necessary)
3. Attack/defend with magic
4. Switch to longsword
5. Hit.
6. Back off (or up) to try to avoid their swing.
7. Rush forward (or down) swinging
8. Repeat Steps 5-7.
