Hand to Hand Hand to hand combat is a rare skill in the lands of Midgaard. Learning this style of fighting gives the player a weapon even when disarmed -- bare hands. Trained hand to hand experts are far more effective than many swordsmen. Clerics, warriors and monks are the best at this skill, although thieves and mages may also learn it. | |||
Palm Block All that a monk learns is not offensive. A wise man once said that a good defense is a great offense. Ancient masters, taking that to heart, developed a method of weaponless evasion that allows one to ward off strikes from opponents using the palms of ones hands. | |||
RECALL is a command for low-level characters which instantly transports them from where they are back to the Temple, one south of Kalane the Healer. If you RECALL during combat, you will lose XP (more than for fleeing), and there is a chance the RECALL might not work. RECALL also does not work at all if you are afflicted by a Curse, or in certain cursed rooms or areas. RECALL doesn't work after you reach level 12. It's a good idea to buy some scrolls of Recall at the magic shop until you can use other transportation spells of your own. | |||
EAT PILL, QUAFF POTION, RECITE SCROLL, BRANDISH STAVES, ZAP WAND =============================================================================== While anyone can use pills or potions, it requires skill to use scrolls, staves, and wands. All adventurers have some innate skill with magical items, and their skills will improve with use. Pills can be imbued with up to four spells. They may all be different or all the same. Eating a pill will cause all four spells fire at once. Potions are similar to pills, but they're consumed with quaff. Scrolls are similar to pills and potions, but they are used with recite. Staves possess only one type of spell, and the number of charges varies from one to infinite. When a held stave is brandished, a charge is used up and the spell is cast on everyone in vicinity to the caster (if the spell can be cast on others.

Fast Healing The fast healing skill improves wound healing rates, whether walking, resting, or sleeping. It can represent knowledge of healing herbs, or general stamina and toughness. Fast healing is checked every tick, and it's possible for it to fail. All classes may learn this skill, but barbarians especially excel at it, regenerating at an accelerated rate even while in a great rage. Everyone can learn the knack of fast healing. | |||
Kick Those trained in the ways of a fighter have been taught a special ability known as kick. Kick is a way to hurt opponents during combat that does not involve a weapon. Fighter classes, rogues, bards, and clerics may all learn to use this attack to deal damage in combat. Additionally, these classes can kick wounded mobiles, which bruise the muscles and restricts their abilities to dodge, parry, shield block for a short time. When used against other players, kick will bruise them and make it harder to move, but not for bards or clerics. | |||
Multiple Attacks per round Second attack allows the character a chance at one additional attack in combat - up to two per round, instead of the usual one (assuming the character is not affected by other skills or spells which affect attacks). Third attack stacks with second attack to allow the character a chance at two additional attacks in combat -- up to three per round, instead of the usual one (assuming the character is not affected by other skills or spells which affect attacks). =============================================================================== Classes: Monk, Warrior, Barbarian, Ranger, Rogue, Bard, Warlock, Templar Fourth attack stacks with second AND third attack to allow the character a chance at three additional attacks in combat: up to four per round, instead of the usual one! =============================================================================== Classes: Warrior, Barbarian Fifth attack stacks with second, third, AND fourth attack to allow barbarians a chance at FOUR additional attacks in combat -- up to five per round!

Dodge If you can't parry a blow, try to dodge it. The dodge skill makes it possible for characters to avoid blows they can see coming by moving out of the way of the blow. Anyone can learn to dodge. | |||
Parry Parry is the first line of defense against physical attacks. Those who are able to parry do so by skillfully using their weapons to deflect blows; it is therefore essential to be wielding a weapon in order to parry. Some two-handed weapons naturally lend themselves to greater ease in parrying. Parrying is done automatically while in combat. | |||
Arm Throw "Armthrow is a highly specialized skill which allows the monk to move inside the range of combat, hook his opponent's arm, and throw him to the ground. This action dazes the victim and gives the monk a few moments to attack the victim as he lays helpless on the ground." -- Master Chian, | |||
Heightened Senses The senses may be trained to detect things which cannot be seen. People who can learn to heighten their senses may feel movements in the air, or catch a faint scent of another living creature in the near vicinity, or hear the slightest sound of breath where no one appears to be. Using this skill, it is possible to detect those hidden or even made invisible by magical means. Of course, this skill only allows the user to sense the immediate vicinity and so doesn't offer any sensitivity to magic probings. =============================================================================== Class: Monk, Warrior, Barbarian, Psionicist, Templar | |||
Meditation This skill is similar to fast healing, but relies on silent inner mantras which are designed to increase mana recovery whether in motion or at rest. The effect of meditating is dependent on skill, but once meditation mantras are acquired, no further effort is needed to use them. | |||
Divine Focus "While most fighters have learned to focus on the battle, templars and monks instead seek moments of calm to focus on their chosen deities. They rely on divine intervention to guide their movements. The gods invariably favor the crusaders who focus so intently on them, granting them many enhancements to the battle at hand. Those so graced with Divine Focus must maintain careful concentration, and so it's possible to dispel or cancel the effects through magical disruption." -- Master Chian, Monk Trainer Purpose: Boost to 2nd, 3rd, 4th Attack Boost to Str, Dex, and Con Moderate healing effect Haste effect Other: Dispellable, Cancellable Stacks with Frenzy Achieved At: Level 38 Cost at Level 50: 50 Mana Influenced by: Calm (Better Chance) Fighting (Lower Chance) Target: Self Class: Monk, Templar ================================================================================ See Also: Monk, Templar | |||
Enhanced Damage Many classes can become skilled enough in physical combat that they are able to inflict more damage than usual. Enhanced damage varies widely in range, and its effect is different with every hit. The chance of a hit dealing enhanced damage depends on the individual's skill level. =============================================================================== Classes: Cleric, Monk, Warrior, Barbarian, Druid, Ranger, Rogue, Bard, Warlock, Templar | |||
Dirt Kicking Considered by some to be a cowardly skill, dirt kick gives the clever combatant a chance to blind his opponent by casting dirt in his eyes. The blindness does not last long, but can provide an edge in combat. Dexterity helps in landing or avoiding dirt kick. =============================================================================== Classes: Monk, Warrior, Barbarian, Ranger, Rogue, Bard | |||
Crane Kick "Through mastering many forms of offensive combat, monks learn how to use all parts of their bodies as weapons. The Crane Kick, an ancient style of combat allows one to inflict great damage on a foe with little exertion on the part of the master. This move is so powerful that, once the victim has sustained substantial physical injury, the Crane Kick will begin to damage the mind as well as the body, causing victims to bleed arcane energy in addition to the usual bodily fluids." -- Master Chian, Arinock Trainer Purpose: Damage hp and mana Achieved At: Level 24 Cost at Level 50: None Influenced By: Dex, Str Target: Single Victim Class: Monk | |||
Haggle Haggling is an indispensable skill to the trader. It allows buyers to match wits with merchants, enabling the successful haggler to purchase goods at the lowest possible cost. Haggle must be practiced at least once to use. =============================================================================== Classes: All | |||
"The best defense is usually a good offense. Enemies are less inclined to try to kill you when you've hit them somewhere vital. Plus, having someone bend over in pain usually reveals less armored spots to center your attacks." -- Master Chian, Arinock Trainer Purpose: Damage AC and Hitroll Achieved At: Level 29 Cost at Level 50: None Influenced By: Dex, Haste, AC, Level Target: Single Victim Class: Monk | |||
Burning Palm 'It is said the most powerful monks are capable to tap into a devastating and ancient article of faith which takes the form of a burning palm. Not only is the blunt attack itself brutal, the technique also occasionally taps into the burning religious fervor of the monk, creating a physical flame capable of burning not only the victim but anything on his person, from potions and food to books and plants.' -- Master Chian, Monk Trainer Cost: 15 Mana Purpose: Bash Damage Burning effect Achieved At: Level 37 Influenced By: Dexterity of Both Hitroll of Monk Level of Monk Victim's Saving Check Target: Single Target Class: Monk | |||
Dragon Punch Dragon punch is a powerful counterattack skill that only a monk can master. |
