The "MSTRIKE" Verb -

MSTRIKE is the ability to engage and strike multiple targets or in cases of highly trained individuals, the ability to strike a target multiple times.  The number of targets one can engage is dependent upon the ranks of Multi-Opponent combat skill.  You will need 5 ranks of Multi-Opponent Combat in order to hit two creatures at the same time.

USAGE:

    MSTRIKE - attacks as many targets as skill allows.

    MSTRIKE {target} - attack specified target as many times as skill allows.

    MSTRIKE SET {attacks} - Set the maximum strike attempts for multi-target MSTRIKE

    MSTRIKE SET FOCUS {attacks} - Set the maximum strike attempts for focused MSTRIKE
