>Hi
>I was curious of finding out about the charicters naked damage
(with all stats maxed on level 50). I used Jarulf's Guide (obviously) and after looking at bare hands/kick damage i moved on to look at (bow charicter damage) and (melee charicter damage). I understand most of the formulas on J.G but this one I couldn't understand.

It means "times."
So the above is equivalent to (Str+Dex)*(clvl/200), if the * represents multiplication :)

The dot is just a multiplication operator. You take (Str+Dex) and mulitply it times clvl, then divide by 200.
