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 avoid interrupts while casting is equal to (attacker's wrestling skill + 50) / ((defender's weapon or wrestling skill + 50) * 2) plus any relevant accuracy bonuses.
Unarmed Wrestling base damage against creatures is 2-8
Unarmed Wrestling base damage against players is 1-4
Unarmed Wrestling attacks have a base speed of 50

Increases Base Weapon Damage by (25% * Skill / 100) as a secondary weapon skill (when using another weapon skill)
Wrestling will provide a (15% * (Wrestling Skill / 100)) Mana Refund chance when casting spells

Only works against creatures, not other players
There is a 10% base chance of inflicting a Special Attack on creatures
- This chance can be further increased via the Arms Lore skill, Water Aspect Armor, or Mastery Chain Links
When players trigger a Weapon Special with a Martial Manual equipped, it will no longer do a Disorient effect, and instead will randomly choose between the four weapons specials:
- Swordsmanship Bleeds; Applies a bleed effect, ticking for 20% of the initial hit's damage every 3 seconds, 5 times. Also applies a lacerate effect, increasing anyone's weapon special chance to that monster by 8%, stackable up to 24%.
- Archery Hinders; Hinders the target, freezing it for 4-8s and increases the hit by 50% (by 100% if the target is already hindered or recently recovered from a hinder)
- Mace Fighting Pierces; Lowers the target's armor by 50, for 8-16 seconds and increases the hit by 50. Bonus increased if all of the target's armor is pierced.
- Fencing Cripples; Applies a stackable 8% cripple effect, lowering the target's melee defence up to a 24% decrease as well as increases the Damage the target takes from Melee-Inflicted Poison (player or creature) and from any form of Disease Damage

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

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 Arena Duels or 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 will inflict 25% 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)

Main article: Weapon and Shield Codex#Wrestling Stances and Finishers

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 3 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)
