The combat skills are {{Skill|Attack}}, {{Skill|Strength}}, {{Skill|Defence}}, {{Skill|Hitpoints}}, {{Skill|Ranged}}, {{Skill|Magic}}, {{Skill|Prayer}}, and {{Skill|Slayer}}. These skills are factored in when calculating the player's combat level, which is an approximation of the player's power. Players start at combat level 3 and can reach a maximum of combat level 126, while [[monsters]] range from combat level [[Chicken|1]] to [[Ragnar|815]]. The player's combat level affects the difficulty of [[monsters]] given in [[Slayer]] Tasks. | ||

===Calculating Damage Dealt=== | |||
When the player hits with a normal attack, the game calculates how much damage the player actually does by rolling a number between their minimum hit and maximum hit for the chosen combat style and then applying post-roll modifiers. | |||
====Post-Roll Modifiers==== | |||
Some effects are applied after the damage roll is done. The main two are enemy Damage Reduction and [[Player Modifiers]] that affect damage to all monsters or to a subset of monsters such as Slayer Monsters or Boss Monsters. These modifiers can increase the player's damage beyond their listed maximum hit. | |||
[[Magic#Ancient Magicks|Ancient Magick spells]] are not affected by post-roll modifiers aside from enemy Damage Reduction, although weapon special attacks that do a fixed amount of damage are. | |||

If a player or monster successfully connects with an attack, the damage dealt will be a random value between their minimum and maximum hit.

The minimum hit is applied after all strength and damage bonuses are calculated, which means that only bonuses that directly impact minimum hit will affect minimum hit.
