.: Help for attack

The attack command engages in combat with a player or NPC.

Usage:

  attack goblin
  Start combat with the goblin

  attack
  Continue attacking your current target (while in combat)

Melee Weapons:

When attacking with a melee weapon, you will automatically advance into melee range if needed. This takes time (balance cost) before your first attack lands.

Ranged Weapons:

Ranged weapons attack immediately from a distance. However, if an enemy advances into melee with you, you cannot use ranged weapons until you retreat.

Combat Flow: 
- Type attack to strike when balanced
- After each attack, you must wait for balance to recover
- Combat continues until someone flees or dies

Hit Chance:

Your chance to hit is: attackerBody / (attackerBody+defenderBody) * 70 + 30 You always have a minimum 5% chance to miss and 5% chance to hit.

Critical Hits:

Crit chance is: (Body) / (attackerLevel-defenderLevel) + 5
