The Seven Combat Skills
Attack Attack effects how accurate your character is with a weapon, it also allows your character to wield better weapons.

Strength Increasing your strength skill will increase how much damage your character can hit with a weapon.

Defence Defence increases your character's ability to dodge/block attacks, making them harder to hit. Armour requires a higher defence level to wear as the quality of the metal increases.

Hitpoints Your Hitpoints level, determine how many life points your character have, thus determining how much damage your character can take before (s)he dies. Death takes place when your character's life points drops to 0. Food can replenish your life points and can be vital for survival, making food and good armor vital in some situations.

Ranged A better ranged level allows you to equip and use better bows, better armor, and other ranged equipment. Ranged is like attack and strength combined, a higher level allows you to hit higher with ranged weaponry and makes you more accurate with it.

Magic Increasing a magic level allows you to equip better (magic) armor, gain access to better spells, and have better accuracy with spells. Spells have a set max hit so increasing a magic level does not increase your maximum damage dealt with spells. It does, however, increase the ability to defend against spells.

Prayer Prayer is sort of a self-support magic-ish skill; yBy activating a prayer, depending on the prayer's effect, your character's stats are increased, whether it be attack, strength, defence, range, or magic, for as long as that prayer remains active. Some prayers have different effects, three being the protection prayers, which give defence and resistance to the chosen combat style.
