Game Mechanics: Ability levels in pvp

[Dullah]

In pvp, melee skill levels don't come into play. Some weapons like Ashenbone axe can be used proficiently by a bard or rogue in pvp because theres no check against skill levels (they have no 2hs skill).

Another glaring example would be slam which has a very high rate of success in pvp. Many classes also have certain melee or weapon skills that cap low yet still have a much higher chance of landing hits than they should. Though their low ability may lessen damage, it doesn't seem to have any calculation in place to properly determine the chance to miss.
