------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skill : Holdup Skill type : Active Stat base : Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence Syntax : do holdup [friendly] target Examples : do holdup bob do holdup friendly marian The holdup skill allows you to hold someone immobilized at knifepoint while you loot them. The person will likely be too intimidated to move or attack, and if they do move, you will instantly strike them. Aside from that, you may release them by moving or using another skill, or by attacking them (in which case you will strike them with your held action). You cannot use skills other than rob while holding someone at knifepoint. If you choose to do a 'friendly' holdup the effects are the same, _except_ that once the victim breaks free you do not strike them -- it is only for intimidation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
