Melee

Whoever holds a sword, or nothing at all, fights in Melee. Melee beats Range and loses to Magic.

Each Melee level adds 2 power, and a sword needs a Melee level to hold, by tier.

Fighting XP comes from camp fights, expeditions, voyages, boss fights, raids, bounties and sparring. Where it goes depends on the member’s stance, and a third as much again goes to Hitpoints.
