Quote:
Dexterity
  * Affects accuracy with weapons
  * Characters with high dexterity also learn weapons skills faster (unconfirmed)
  * Increases odds in melee combat (which is not yet implemented)

Speed
  * Fast characters fire earlier in the combat sequence
  * Affects weapon reloading speed somewhat
  * Affects running speed when on foot


The Speed items are perfect. Dexterity is correct apart from the learning of skills faster.

Regarding melee, the next patch will add melee weapons but initially only a Hammer will be available. This is a Strength-based weapon so Dex doesn't help it. When I add swords/knives, they will be Dex-based (and also affected to a lesser extent by Str).

Strength
  * Affects how many hits a character can take before falling unconscious or dying
  * Strong characters also are more likely to survive if they walk back to town (mainly just a guess)
  * Increases odds in melee combat
    * This increase is with Strength-based weapons (clubs, sledgehammers, baseball bats, etc.)

Dexterity
  * Affects accuracy with weapons
  * Increases odds in melee combat
    * This increase is with Dexterity-based weapons (swords, knives, other finesse-type weapons)

  * Speed
    * Fast characters fire earlier in the combat sequence
    * Affects weapon reloading speed somewhat
    * Affects running speed when on foot


:p

No. Currently, melee attacks automatically hit, and the damage they do is based on Str/Dex. I might change this, but actually it seems reasonable.

Thanks! .. you are indeed the wikimeister

edit: re. martial arts... I think ped-melee is likely to remain a highly rare form of play anyway, so giving it a skill is probably unnecessary.
