 |    Title = Do non-humanoids use Unarmed Combat?
 | Category = Combat
 | Question = I did an experiment where I debuffed a Tusker Guard's Unarmed Combat skill with VIs, removing a total of (with optimistic spell economy) 40 + 80/3 = 66 points.<br /><br />I had a melee defense of 240 at the time, and didn't evade once.<br /><br />Then I put Defender 5 on a dagger, adding 13% to my melee defense. 1.13*240 = 271 melee defense. The dagger didn't have an inherent + to melee defense.<br /><br />With the dagger, I evaded quite a few shots.<br /><br />Is there any explanation you know of for these results, or did I just do something wrong? Is Unarmed Ineptitude going to affect a Tusker, or is a gain in melee defense more effective than a loss in attacker's UA skill?

 |   Answer = Yes, yes in fact non-humanoid type mobs do use UA. (In fact, most non-human mobs use UA when they attack (shreth, tuskers, armadillos, anything that doesn't use a weapon)).
