'''{{PAGENAME}}''' can be used in combat to gain a slight advantage over the [[monster]] being fought. Equipping a weapon with a special attack will give your attacks a chance to perform a special attack. Manually eating food will cancel the players special attack. Only a select few high level weapons have special attacks. Several monsters can use special attacks against the player, including {{MonsterIcon|Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor}} and {{MonsterIcon|Prat, the Protector of Secrets}} from the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}, and all of the monsters from the four god dungeons. The attack bar will change to yellow when a special attack is being used. | |||
If the player has multiple items equipped whose cumulative base special chance is greater than 100%, the chances of each special attack are scaled down such that the cumulative chance equals 100%. For example, a player who has both the {{ItemIcon|Ring of Blade Echoes}} (100% special chance) and {{ItemIcon|Infernal Claw}} (15% special chance) equipped will have a <math>100 \times \frac{100}{100+15} = 86.96\%</math> chance of Blade Echoes and a <math>15 \times \frac{100}{100+15} = 13.04\%</math> chance of Quad Swipe occurring. | If the player has multiple items equipped whose cumulative base special chance is greater than 100%, the chances of each special attack are scaled down such that the cumulative chance equals 100%.
