Not been in many conflicts so never knew this (and probably have not paid too close attention to past complaints and discussions). XXX advances to melee and I beat him to the punch and I get a soul hit? Defending myself?
This is just wrong.
You notice XXX as he stealthily closes to melee range on you.
You point at XXX, ruining his attempt to advance unnoticed.
>
>slap XXX
You feel a deep pain in your soul for initiating the attack against XXX. This is dishonorable!
< Driving in like an unbeatable force, you slap your plate clad hand at XXX. XXX attempts to dodge, mis-stepping and blundering into the blow. The hand lands a heavy strike that knocks XXX's breath away with a loud Whuff as the stomach takes full force of the blow, lightly stunning him.
[You're invigorated, energetic, solidly balanced and in dominating position.]
