UO Second Age

Not sure when certain changes came into UO. Its been a while...

Does lumberjacking help axe combat in this era?
Are "nox" mages in the mix here?
Does parrying do anything besides improve AC?
Mace tears up armor and takes stamina away, does sword and fencing do any extras?

Cant think of any others at the moment.... Any added info appreciated.

Thanks!

No lumberjacking poisoning or inscription bonuses
Parrying only improves your AR based on the shield and parry skill
No, mace is special in dropping stamina, but all physical damage wears away at armor, mace only more so.

Thanks

I never played with most of that stuff (much) so thats good news to me.
