Also dex in at least some instances.  Esp with weapons that are dex
influenced like, in my oppinion, Longsword, buckler, rapier, punch
dagger, dagger, and the like.  These weapons just seem to work better
with very good dex as opposed to other weapons.  Str does also help to
increase damage but dex also can be a major factor.

Also, combat sence.  According to Hugh, this skill helps all aspects of
fighting from offence to defence.  The only kp skill, i believe, that
helps offensive damage.

Also good to remember about cunning is that it helps you get more weapon
points for better attacks or at least better chances for more damaging
attacks.  Also cunning gives you action points allowing for more
attacks.  Dex does this as well.
