A True Bonecrusher (by Sid)


Bonecrush

Syntax
STRIKE <target> [LEFT|RIGHT] [<bodypart>] [<modifier> [<modifier args>]]

As a Bonecrusher, your skill with one-handed bludgeons is such that you now attack even faster. Additionally, as you train in the Bonecrusher skill, you will learn to apply modifiers to your strikes, which increase the effectiveness of your attacks even further.

Additional Notes:
Skills with the syntax "Modifier" are used to fill the <modifier> argument of Strike. For example, STRIKE ROARK BLACKEYE
