Mercenary

From NecroWiki

Description

The mercenary is a warrior derivative for those adventurers who have a background in the stealthy arts of the thief class. Mercenaries use their training in hand to hand combat in part with indirect attack abilities they learned as a thief. Like other warriors they have high hit points and the ability to inflict more damage than other classes.

Skills

Mercenary has several skills from the warrior class, plus the ability to Counter Attack.

Level	Skill	Description	Effect	Type	Mana Cost
1	Bash	This skill gives a player the ability to knock an opponent to the ground with his weapon.	If successful the opponent will be knocked to the ground and will be unable to react for the remainder of the combat round. If the target of the bash manages to avoid the dodge the player will fall to the ground instead and will be unable to react for a combat round.	Combat	N/A
1	Kick	A player can attempt, using the kick command, to land a kick against his/her opponent.	On a successful kick, the target will take a fair amount of damage from the attack with a possible chance of being unable to speak or cast spells until the end of the following combat round.	Combat	N/A
1	Track	The user may attempt to determine the direction they should go to reach the target character.	Upon successful use of the skill, the direction displayed will be the shortest path to the target character.	Noncombat	N/A
1	Charge	A player who has a shield equipped can use his shield in a frenzied charge to try and knock down all the NPCs present in the room.	The maximum damage done is equivalent to the level of charge learned. The chance to knock down a given NPC is a factor of both the NPC's defense and the level of charge learned.	Combat	N/A

1	Triple Attack	This skill allows a player to attempt three melee attacks in one round of combat.	A successful dual attack will result in the warrior attacking three times in one round.	Passive	N/A
1	Disarm	A player wielding a weapon can attempt to disarm his/her opponent.	A successful disarm will cause the opponent's weapon to be dropped into his/her inventory.	Combat	N/A

1	Critical Hit	This skill gives the character a chance to do increased damage during melee.	If the character lands a critical hit, the damage done will be increased by 50 percent.	Passive	N/A

19	Counter Attack	A skilled mercenary can not only dodge or parry an attack, but also then counter with an attack of his/her own.	A successful counter attack will nullify the opponent's melee attack and attempt to land an attack on that opponent instead.	Passive	N/A
