Help : Feint

If you are new here, you may want to download one of many MUD clients, and see our getting started guide.

(such as "spell" or "MUD Basics") 

    While in combat, a rogue can engage in close quarters combat and
attack a foe with great accuracy.  While distracting an opponent with
a feint, damage is somewhat reduced and the rogue tends to ignore his
or her own defense.  A feint requires the rogue wield a weapon.

   A sufficiently talented feint may allow the rogue to temporarily 
incapacitate their target, either blinding or confusing them for a 
short duration.

   Effect:
      Attack: -10%
      Armor:  +10%
      Damage: -20%

      When attacking, roll twice and keep the better result.

      25% chance or Critical Effect to Victim:
         50%: Blind (save Fortitude for no affect)
         50%  Confusion (save Willpower for no affect)

         Duration: 2 combat rounds
