Weapon Skill [wiki]
"A weapon skill refers to a characters proficiency in a combat skill...The higher one's Weapon skill in any one field will make that character more likely to land a successful blow on the opponent."
Tactics [wiki]
"Tactics is one of the Skills. and is a damage modifier. It is effective with all Weapon Skill."
Yet the accuracy rating on magical weapons, which should be weapon skill increase, increases your Tactics instead, a damage modifier.
*yea I know...in UO's convoluted way, increasing the chance to hit IS a damage modifier...just one of those things that make me go "hmmm..."*

I had never heard of the magical proprties of a weapon described as an "accuracy modifier" other than with bows.
