-------------------------------------------------------------------- Skill : Penetrate Class : Hunter Cost : 20 (non-adjustable) Skill Type : Active Casting time : Special Stats Base : Strength and Dexterity Difficulty : Special Syntax : do penetrate <target> Examples : do penetrate do penetrate thade Hunters specialize in exploiting the vulnerabilities of their prey. Using this skill, the Hunter attempts to land a penetrating blow that exposes his or her target's defenses. If the attack succeeds, the prey will be extra vulnerable to further attacks made by a hunter using this skill (for a short period of time). This effect is cumulative: each successful penetrating attack will expose the victim even more to future uses of the skill. Prey that avoid being further hit by this skill will slowly recover from the exposed state. This attack normally takes 1 round to complete. However, when used against prey that has already been penetrated a certain number of times, the skill executes instantaneously. By this point, the exposed location is blatantly visible, expediting the process of aiming at it. The hunter must wield a bow or a spear to use this skill. This skill only exposes the target to further penetrating attacks, with one exception: it will make the prey more vulnerable to snipe as well. All other skills, combat hits, etc, will be normal. A hunter using the snipe skill will often penetrate his foes without using the penetrate skill. Hunters using this skill against classes that they are experts at hunting will cause significantly more damage. -------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: help expertise, help skill snipe
