Wrestling

Summary

Wrestling skill grants the ability to attack and defend with no weapon equipped.

The chance to hit with fists and the chance to get no interrupt while casting is equal to (attacker's wrestling skill + 50) / ((defender's weapon or wrestling skill + 50) * 2) plus any relevant accuracy bonuses.
Wrestling base damage against creatures is 2-8
Wrestling base damage against players is 1-4
Wrestling attacks have a base speed of 50
Wrestlers can visit the Arena and queue up for a boxing match

Only works against creatures, not other players
There is a 10% chance of inflicting a Wrestling Weapon Special Attack against creatures
This chance can be further increased via the Arms Lore skill, Water Aspect Armor, or Mastery Chain Links
- Increases damage by 400%
- Disorients the target for 16 seconds (reduces melee accuracy by 10% and causes a 10% chance for spellcasters to fizzle spells when casting)

The Wrestling skill provides a 15% * (Wrestling Skill / 100) bonus to Charged Spell Chances when casting spells against creatures

Players have access to "Martial Manuals" which are equippable scrolls that transform the player's Wrestling swings into weapon-like strikes of roughly the same speed and damage as War Forks
While Martial Manuals will appear in a player's Paperdoll, they will not display in game for the player, and a player attacking while equipped with one will deliver unique unarmed animations and sound effects specific to Martial Manuals
Martial Manuals are for all intents and purposes considered One-Handed Weapons that players can Parry with, but cannot equip Shields while wielding
Players can drink potions while wielding Martial Manuals

Martial Manuals have the same Accuracy, Damage, Durability, and Slayer Properties as normal weapons
Martial Manuals can also be crafted (including with Colored Materials) via the Inscription skill, or can be found as magic loot versions
When players trigger a Weapon Special with a Martial Manual equipped, it will no longer do a Disorient effect, and instead will randomly chose between Hinder, Cripple, Pierce, or Bleed effects

Martial Manuals can be disarmed, which will result in the player dealing standard "Unarmed" 1-2 damage during that time
Martial Manuals are not allowed in Duels and Tournaments
Damage from Martial Manuals in PvP will scale based on the player's Raw Dex stat as a % (without any adjustments for Dex bonuses or penalties from Potions, Bless, Weaken, other effects)

For example:

A player with 100 Dex will inflict 100% of normal PvP damage with Martial Manuals
A player with 50 Dex will inflict 50% of normal PvP damage with Martial Manuals
A player with 25 Dex, but temporarily at 45 Dex due to a Greater Agility Potion, will still inflict 25% of normal PvP damage (Potions and spell buffs/debuffs will not count into their Dex calculation)

Wrestling can benefit from Stances and Finishers provided by a Codex of Wrestling.
- Players can acquire a Wrestling Codex that works exclusively with Martial Manuals (provides no benefit to empty fists)
- Similar to other Weapon Skills, changing to a Wrestling Stance costs the player 5 mana
- For the first 10 seconds after a player activates a Wrestling Stance, the bonus from it is dramatically increased (this is called a "Stance Adoption" period)
- Conceptually, players with a Wrestling Codex are encouraged to switch stances (costing 5 mana) every 10 seconds to maximize the bonuses they get from each stance (which will likely require the player to have some form of limited mana regeneration)
