DEFEND
A friend in need is a friend indeed. And when in combat, a fighter with
the defend skill is just the friend you need. Defend allows you to intercede
in combat, protecting weaker characters from bodily harm. Hopefully the
favor will be returned. Success in defending depends on the skill rating, as
well as a comparison of level, dexterity, and speed between the character and
the target. (note: you defend a friend, not the monster)
Note: Defend works within groups currently engaged in combat.
Usage: defend <name|self>
