This skill modifies the amount of bonus damage your character does in hand-to-hand combat.


 * $$\text{Initial level}=\text{Strength}-5\geqslant1$$


 * Minimum value can be no less than 1.
 * Average characters will have a melee damage of 1.
 * The Heavy Handed trait increases melee damage by 4 points.
 * The Bonus HtH Damage perk increases melee damage by 2 per rank.
 * The Slayer perk upgrades every melee hit into critical hits, radically increasing melee damage.

In Fallout 3, Melee Damage (only) affects damage done with Melee Weapons. There is a separate statistic for hand-to-hand combat called Unarmed Damage.
