Attack


When used outside of combat the attack command will start a fight, in
fast combat all people will then be able to start moving or attacking as
they wish, in an emote fight it will generate a turn order and start to work
through them.

Typing attack skip will skip your turn in emote combat, in fast combat it
won't have any real affect except that if all participants in a fight type
attack skip the fight will end.

Possible syntaxes for attack are:

Attack (person)

When the command is used like this on a target in melee range it will pick
your highest melee discipline to use, when used on a target at range it will
pick the highest ranged discipline to use. Note the highest ranged
discipline might not always be the most effective discipline to use
depending on the range of the target.


Attack (person) (discipline)

This syntax allows you to pick the discipline you'd like to use for the
attack.


Attack (person) (customname)

This syntax allows you to use a custom attack, in fast combat your attack
will use the message you've written for this attack instead of the default
message. In both fast combat and emote combat it will attach any special
affect you've set up on that custom to the attack.

(Customname) (person) is an alternate syntax for using custom attacks.


Attack (person) knockout

Used in melee range on someone who has run out of defense to knock them out
to be captured.


Attack defend

Skip your chance to attack to instead take 66% damage until your next turn
to attack.

You can also use
tackle (target) to move your character instantly up to two
rooms towards the target and immediately start a fight.
