Combat Allocation slots
In order to customize combat there are several Auxiliary Combat Skills which you may set. For each limb that you can use in a fight, you may decide how much emphasis or attention you wish to allocate to a particular aspect of combat. BONUS will increase the average damage you inflict on your opponent, but will not change the spread of the damage (this corresponds to the offensive skill). In contrast, DARING will increase the spread of damage, but will not change the average damage. SPEED will tend to increase your average attack rate (this corresponds to the attack speed skill). AIMING will increase your chances of hitting the part designated by 'set aim' (this corresponds to the aim blows skill). PARRY will decrease the average damage your opponent will inflict on you, while CONTROL will be used to counteract your opponent's DARING. NULL will allow you to "waste" some combat ability for the purposes of sparring, or toying with your opponent.
