The Punching skill most basic attack skill in the game that's generally available to all races (except for Fireborns who get the fire elemental Flame Touch instead). It's the weakest and slowest melee attack skill in the game and generally you're far better off using Clawing, Karate, or better yet a weapon if possible. Damage is based on the user's STR and level.

There's typically no practical need to use this. Most classes start with a weapon skill; the few that don't are either the Monk, who already has Karate to use as a vastly better attack option, or are classes that can use spells effectively until they can obtain a skill scroll to learn to use one handed or two handed weapons. Races with clawing also have no need to ever use punching when their claws deal more damage.
