'CONCENTRATE'
Syntax: AUTOMATIC
Each style of combat has its own unique disadvantages. It can be
difficult to dodge the superior reach of a two-handed weapon while closing
in to attack with two weapons, or to dodge a second weapon while locked in a
defensive stance to block the first weapon, or to dodge a defensive
counterattack after one has overextended himself with a two-handed strike.
In all of these circumstances where one side enjoys a superior combat style,
the concentrate skill allows the superior side to concentrate on his
opponent's vulnerabilities, and can offer unique advantages in combat. The
concentrate skill is especially effective in bypassing the dodge of high
dexterity targets, although the effect is less dramatic against targets that
already have difficulty dodging. One automatically delivers concentrated
attacks when he has superior combat style.
Berserkers cannot concentrate while raged.
* Requires superior combat style.
* More effective against more dextrous opponents than clumsy ones.
* Especially effective against hobbled opponents.
