ATTACK
Type	System
System	Combat

The ATTACK verb, alternatively used as KILL, is the primary verb to use when attacking another creature. This initiates the resolution of your character's attack against a foe in the combat resolution system. You may specify melee attacks at specific parts of a target's body.

Help

Note: This will populate with either ATTACK HELP or HELP ATTACK.

USAGE: ATTACK [target] [location]

  [target] will default to your current TARGET, or a random creature if you have not set a target.
  [location] will default to your AIM preference if set.  You may also specify CLEAR to force an unaimed attack.
