You concentrate intently, focusing all your energies.
You explode into a fury of strikes and ripostes, moving with a singular purpose and will!
You attempt to jab a triton combatant!
Your attack is hindered by holding a zelnorn buckler!
You have decent positioning against a triton combatant.
UAF: 828 vs UDF: 702 = 1.179 * MM: 40 + d100: 21 = 68
A close miss!
You feel the unnatural surge of necrotic power wane away.

You are beginning to feel a little fatigued.
Full plate, 200 armor ranks, rank 5 evasion, buckler, 3 ranks small shield focus, 3 ranks brawler, perfect knuckleblade vs full plate.
Dunno what stats or spells or other skills go for MM here...

More specifically, yours (offensive = best), and the targets (same).
Also, it is a combatant and a square so will defend better than most. Injuries to it, and alot of other potential factors including random.

Armor is the AP/4. Action penalty for full plate is 35, reduced to 31 for your overtraining, and 26 for evasion. So -6.
Knuckleblade is -10
Buckler is -22 (assuming you are 1x trained, -15 if 2x) +6 for 3 ranks in shielded brawler.
So thats -32 (or -25) for your equipment.
If it had an EBP chance of x%, there's a random 0-x off MM to account for that which is why you see variation between strikes. This was probably fairly high because it had turtled and as a square gets a higher EBP to start with.
If room lighting was bad there's potentially another 10 gone there.
Empty handed ambush is good value, particularly against turtles, particularly with ranks in the relevant mastery. I couldn't take the non-corps, but the other tritons were cake as I recall it, though its several years since I was stalking them.

"MM: 37" (ranging to 51) -- Rolfard
As Roblar said, stance.
I had a nearly-senior moment over the weekend where I did an mstrike and was trying to figure out why it was so ineffective, until I saw the "full parry 100" shield in the Wizard.
After changing that, my MM was back in the 110-125 range where I was expecting it to be for whacking the orcs.

Stance was offensive, no injuries, no encumbrance, and (while irrelevant vs a combatant) wearing dragonclaw (1209).
Also, 2x in shield and punch mastery master for the full +15.

Nope, none of the above.
I believe it has to do with using quickstrike 1 mstrike jab (target)

Is UAC something new that you're trying with this character or is the low MM something you're just noticing with this critter/hunting ground?
Your gear is prolly the main thing pushing down the MM...
I'd never use a brawling weapon with UAC unless it has awesome crit weighting or top level flares. The increased DF from a standard brawling weapon just doesn't justify the hit to yer MM, you'd be MUCH better off investing in a good set of gloves/boots with whatever enchanting, flares, weighting, etc you want on them.
You've also got plenty of Dodging and TWC training, unless there's something shooting arrows or bolting in that area, wear the shield before attacking or just do without it.
If all else fails, make it stunned or prone before attacking.

A severed gnomish hand crawls in on its fingertips and makes a rude gesture before quickly decaying and rotting into dust. A gust of wind quickly scatters the dust.

I have noticed a consistent heavy drop on my MM when using qs 1 mstrike jab.
My gear, I know, is the problem but;
8x 20 point crit-weighted, knockout-flaring, T5 ensorcelled handwraps
8x zelnorn buckler
7x perfect bubble-flaring T5 ensorcelled knuckleblade
Pretty sure there's some heavy interference with all that on the table.

Mostly the knuckleblade and some buckler (even with shielded brawler), but if you think something is an issue with quickstrike, or mstrike (or a combo of) can you post your normal MM without quickstrike or mstrike and against same creatures?

The lowest MM in your clip would be 15 higher if you were punching, another 19 higher if you had empty hands and probably about another 20-30 higher if you were ambushing or the critter was in offensive stance.
