This is gonna be a weird question but here itgoes. I have expert onehanded and i wield a sword. Now according to my bonus window on the cntrl s screen i should have a +40 onehanded accuracy. I walk up to a random mob and it always is a -4. If i equip a dagger this jumps up to +6. Im new to the game so maybe i dont understand the bonus ( skill system ) very well but if any beta veteran or anyone else understands this i would love at least an insight.
