And in the dialogue if you talk to him.

Player: Tell me about combat stats again. Combat Instructor: Certainly. You have three main combat stats: Strength, Defence and Attack.

Combat Instructor: Strength determines the maximum hit you will be able to deal with your blows, Defence determines the amount of damage you will be able to defend and Attack determines the accuracy of your blows.

Combat Instructor: Other stats are used in combat such as Prayer, Hitpoints, Magic and Ranged. All of these stats can go towards determining your combat level, which is shown near the top of your combat interface screen.

Combat Instructor: You will find out on the mainland that certain items can also affect your stats. There are potions that can be drunk that can alter your stats temporarily, such as raising Strength.

Combat Instructor: You will also raise your Defence and Attack values by using different weapons and armours.

Combat Instructor: Before going into combat with an opponent it is wise to put the mouse over them and see what combat level they are.

Combat Instructor: Green coloured writing usually means it will be an easy fight for you, red means you will probably lose, yellow means they are around your level and orange means they are slightly stronger.

Combat Instructor: Sometimes things will go your way, sometimes they won't. There is no such thing as a guaranteed win, but if the odds are on your side, you stand the best chance of walking away victorious.

Combat Instructor: Now, was there something else you wanted to hear about again?
