Skill Subdue

This skill, though technically the province of warriors, can be employed by almost anyone with a moderate degree of success. If successful, the target will be held tight by your character, and will be unable to move or get away. Failure typically invokes a good deal of anger. Use the release command to release someone your character has subdued.

Syntax:

subdue (target)

Example:

> subdue azroen

> subdue gith

Notes:

It is considered a criminal act to subdue persons within a center of civilization.

The flee command will cause an attempt to break away from being subdued. Each attempt to escape the hold will tire your character a little.

A no-saved victim will automatically be subdued, and thus subduing such a person will not be a criminal offence in the city-states.

Size and strength make a difference in determining how easy it is to subdue someone else, or to avoid being subdued.
