combo at once. You can combine stances, throws, kicks, and punches as one, including what limb they should strike. Example: COMBO DRAIMAN MNK LEFT SPP RIGHT SPP RIGHT | |
| Bodyblock | Using your body to block blows | |
| Syntax: | BDB and UNBLOCK BODY | |
| Works against: | Both players and NPCs | |
| Details: | Base chance: 25%
Although bracing your muscles in the body block will be a constant drain on your mental reserves, you will attempt to reduce all cutting and blunt damage you receive by half from adventurers and denizens. | |
| Evadeblock | A block that attempts to completely avoid attacks | |
| Syntax: | EVB and UNBLOCK EVADE | |
| Details: | Your training in physical combat allows you a 3% chance to evade those that would try to
attack you, providing you are not prone. The focus this block requires is a constant drain on both your mental reserves and willpower. | |
| Slam | The first of the throws | |

back into the ground. This throw will also counter and end any momentum a tumbling opponent may have. | |

is nowhere left to go. | |

| Syntax: | WRT <target> [<LEFT/RIGHT> <ARM/LEG>] | |
| Details: | Your strong hands can now easily grip and wrench your opponent's limbs free of their
sockets, causing tremendous trauma to that limb providing they are not standing and crippling it in the process. If the limb is already broken, then the trauma dealt is halved. If all your opponent's arms and legs are crippled, they will be defenseless enough for you to forcefully wrench their neck and deliver a blow that will smash it completely. This will give them the crippled throat, smashed throat, and whiplash afflictions. | |
| Guarding | Guarding a body part and counterattacking | |
| Syntax: | GUARD <limb> or GUARD NOTHING | |
| Details: | Similar to the weapon-user's parry ability, you will guard a specific limb and
effectively nullify all damage to it if you are unhindered. However, if you are standing when you guard the limb, you will also snatch your opponent's arm and twist it, disrupting their own parry. You can guard either the head, torso, left arm, right arm, left leg, or right leg. You will be unable to guard a limb if you become prone (see HELP PRONE). Being fallen is excluded from this list. | |

| Details: | Base chance: 10%
By focusing upon your footwork, you can look for openings to counter with a blow to your opponent's legs when they deal damage to you. It requires at least one free leg to act and will drain your mental reserves to upkeep. The strike cannot be parried and will not break limbs on its own. You may not use the arm strike block simultaneously with this block. | |
| Armblock | A block that attacks the arms | |
| Syntax: | ASB and UNBLOCK ARMS | |
| Details: | Base chance: 10%
This block will allow you to look for openings and counter with a blow to your opponent's arms when they deal direct damage to you.

You may not use the leg strike block simultaneously with this block. | |
| Tripblock | A block that tries to trip outside attackers | |
| Syntax: | TRB and UNBLOCK TRIP | |
| Details: | Base chance: 10%
Assailants beware. With a bit of mental attention directed to your surroundings, should an opponent whom you haven't attacked tries to score a sly hit on you, you will try and counter by tripping them to the ground. It requires at least one free leg to act and will drain your mental reserves to upkeep. This block will not work if you have recently fled combat, you must stand your ground. | |
| Feint | Feint an attack to put your opponent off guard | |
| Syntax: | FEINT <target> <limb> | |
| Cooldown: | 5 seconds | |
| Details: | By feinting an attack towards a particular limb, you can cause your opponent to shift
their parry and upset their balance in fear. | |
| Pinchblock | A special and powerful block | |
| Syntax: | PNB and UNBLOCK PINCH | |
| Details: | Base chance: 15%
This powerful block searches for an opening in your opponent and strikes with a pinching blow to the neck that knocks them unconscious, but only when they deal damage to you first. You will only be successful if they are under two fifth's of their maximum health and you have at least one healthy arm. This requires a lot of focus and will have a constant tax on your mental reserves. | |
| Backbreaker | The ultimate throw | |
| Syntax: | BBT <target> | |
| Details: | If your opponent is on the ground, you may lift them into the air and bring them back
first down upon your knee, dealing powerful trauma to their torso. If they are suffering a crippled limb, then the force will weaken their back momentarily. If you manage to weaken their back three times in a row, then you will snap their spine and instantly kill them. | |
