--------------------------------------------------------------------- Skill : Tenderize Class : Worm Cost : 20 sps Skill Type : Active Casting Time : Instant Special : Must be cast within 2 rounds of a foe being spit up Stats Base : Str and Con Syntax : do tenderize (cannot be targeted) When a worm's prey is too tough to keep swallowed and is spit-up the worm can attempt to tenderize its prey so that they might be easier to keep down when swallowed once more. As a thoughtless creature the worm tenderizes all foes its currently fighting in the room and does not possess the wit to direct its rage at one foe over others. Tenderizing its meal makes it more vulnerable to acid attacks including its digestive fluids and bile. A tenderized meal is easier to digest and so the likelihood of a worm gaining nutrition from its meal prior to death is increased. A tenderized foe is momentarily stunned and their legs will be too weak to allow them to run. Even after this they may have trouble moving under the effects of being worm-battered. Tenderizing a foe makes the worm eager for its next meal increasing the amount of bile it has available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
