Does skill with it affect use of a weapon as much as conventional weapon skills?

If you took a sword and modded it to use "Misc. Object User" skill and were as skilled as that as in swordsmanship, would the results be the same?

[shlorf]

It might work, but since the skill is only used for striking with a shield or other non weapon items normally it might only affect striking type attacks and not the stabs and slashes from the sword.
I think you should be able to test this in adventure mode, however.

I'm gonna go ahead and bump this thread since I have a related question: do we have any idea about how misc. object damage is calculated? It was my understanding that you'd need to consider not just the mass, but also the shape (compare: contact area and penetration of varies strikes in item_weapon.txt) of an item, which is precisely the information that we lack in the case of non-weapons.

Punching, kicking, throwing and biting also don't have obvious contact numbers so I assume it would use a system like those.  Throwing at least seems to be very extremely random.
