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.

• width=29x29 Dragonwilds: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 Dragonwilds:food. Armour also provides reduction to how much damage you can receive.

Trivia

• In Template:RSL, as well as Template:OSL and Template:RSCL, 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 Dragonwilds:wardstones or the Dragonwilds:Soul Food perk, prior to the perk being changed.
