---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Skill : Lacerate Class : Druid Base Cost : 35 energy || Requires 1-5 Combo Points Skill Type : Active Casting Time : Instant Stats Base : 100% Dex Damage Type : Slash Syntax : do lacerate <target> Examples : do lacerate zoram The "Lacerate" skill is a savage and calculated attack that focuses on dealing significant damage while causing deep, bleeding wounds to the target. Drawing from the Druid's mastery of primal strength and precision, this skill unleashes devastating strikes that escalate in power based on the number of Combo Points accumulated. **Mechanics:** - **Damage Scaling**: The base damage of Lacerate increases exponentially with Combo Points. At 1 Combo Point, it deals moderate damage. At 5 Combo Points, it becomes a devastating assault capable of shredding through even the toughest defenses. - **Bleeding Effect**: Lacerate causes the target to bleed profusely over time, dealing damage for a duration based on the number of Combo Points. - **Combo Points Usage**: All Combo Points are consumed upon execution of Lacerate, amplifying both immediate and ongoing damage. **Effect Messages:** - Light attacks may "lightly lacerate" or "cause a bleeding wound." - Heavier strikes will "rend," "shred," or even "butcher" the target, leaving them bleeding profusely. **Important Notes:** - Lacerate requires at least 1 Combo Point to execute. - The duration and severity of bleeding are proportional to the Combo Points consumed. - Targets already afflicted by bleeding will have their effect enhanced by subsequent uses of Lacerate. Whether engaging a single foe or controlling the battlefield, Lacerate is a potent skill for Druids who seek to dominate their enemies with raw strength and sustained damage. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
