OAnband Combat

I've just searched oangband.com and the forums, and didn't found even a single hint what is the difference in it OAngbands combat system is. Can anyone tell me, please?

Basically... to_dam has been replaced by deadliness. Deadliness is a percentage of extra damage applied to your base damage dice rather than it being strictly added as in V.

Critical hits have also been revamped, in that a critical hit adds between 2 and 5 damage dice to your blow.

Therefore, however high your deadliness or number of blows, if you are only wielding a 1d4 dagger, you are going to do a lot less damage than a 1d13 Pike!

Branding and slays also apply multiplicatively, rather than just being applied to your base damage dice as in V.

Okay, thank you.
