Unarmed combatants may now initiate unarmed multi-strike attacks, provided that they have sufficient training in the Multi Opponent Combat skill. Training thresholds are identical to melee multi-strike requirements for both unfocused (multi-target) and focused (same-target) versions. Such strikes are initiated with the MSTRIKE verb, specifying the type of unarmed attack desired, as in "MSTRIKE GRAPPLE" or "MSTRIKE KICK [target]". Use MSTRIKE HELP for more information and additional usage options.

Subject: MSTRIKE Update


The following updates have been made to the MSTRIKE verb:

The maximum amount of RT incurred via mstriking has been significantly lessened, particularly for large numbers of swings. In exchange, the duration of the mstrike recovery period has been generally increased. However, it is now possible to use mstrike during the recovery period, at the cost of 40 stamina points (for an open mstrike) or 60 stamina points (for a focused mstrike). Mstrike is no longer useable in the "Muscles Popped" stamina state. The mstrike recovery period is now viewable in SPELL ACTIVE or the StormFront Active Spells window.

In addition, the training thresholds for additional strikes have been adjusted. The new Multi-Opponent Combat thresholds are:

Open Mstrike

5-14 Ranks : 2 swings
15-34 Ranks: 3 swings
35-59 Ranks: 4 swings
60-99 Ranks: 5 swings
100-154 Ranks: 6 swings
155+ Ranks: 7 swings

Focused Mstrike

30-54 Ranks: 2 swings
55-89 Ranks: 3 swings
90-134 Ranks: 4 swings
135-190 Ranks: 5 swings
190+ Ranks: 6 swings

The stamina cost for mstriking during the recovery period has been changed to be based upon weapon speed:

Open mstrikes will now cost 20 + (3 * Weapon Speed) stamina points, while focused mstrikes will now cost 30 + (4 * Weapon Speed) stamina points. For two weapon combat, the effective weapon speed is Primary Weapon Speed + (Offhand Weapon Speed - 2, min 0).

  • The fatigue duration for TWC has been slightly reduced for both open and focused strikes.

Subject: Mstrike Confirmation Option Added!


A confirmation option has been added to the MSTRIKE verb to reduce the chance of spending stamina unintentionally. When this option is selected, using MSTRIKE to attack while still in recovery mode will require a confirmation on the user's part. The default is for MSTRIKE to require no confirmations. To require confirmations on your MSTRIKE stamina expenditures, simply use the MSTRIKE SET RECOVERY command.

Subject: HSN: Unarmed Multistrike

Unarmed combatants may now initiate unarmed multi-strike attacks, provided that they have sufficient training in the Multi Opponent Combat skill. Training thresholds are identical to melee multi-strike requirements for both unfocused (multi-target) and focused (same-target) versions. Such strikes are initiated with the MSTRIKE verb, specifying the type of unarmed attack desired, as in "MSTRIKE GRAPPLE" or "MSTRIKE KICK [target]". Use MSTRIKE HELP for more information and additional usage options.

However, the specified attack is not necessarily used on each individual strike. Instead, the following rules are used for each strike in sequence; the first one on which the conditions are met determines the type of attack.

  1. If a tier-up strike is pending against the target, use that type of attack.
  2. If the attacker currently has decent ("tier one") positioning against the target, use JAB. If this is the first jab against this particular target during this MSTRIKE invocation, it does not count for the purposes of total allowed strikes.
  3. If the attacker has good ("tier two") positioning against a target, use the attack type that was specified at the start.
  4. If the attacker has excellent ("tier three") positioning against a target, use the attack type that was specified at the start, unless the specified attack type was JAB, in which case choose a random attack from PUNCH, GRAPPLE, and KICK instead.
