| Category: | Combat |
| Question: | A mage holding a wand in casting mode versus an archer with a bow in shooting mode, both have melee defense of 200. Do they get the same benefit of melee defense and the same odds of avoiding a blow? or does the mage suffer a penalty? Thanks |

| Answer: | There's no penalty to melee defense for holding a wand or a bow (in combat mode, magic mode or otherwise). |
