PROTECT

The protect command is used to select a number of people (players or mobiles) that you will try to protect from attacks.

When someone tries to hit one of those in your "protected list", you get an attempt to intercept the blow. The chance to succeed depends on how high you know the rescue skill.

If you have more than one person on your list, or if you already are fighting, your chance to succeed is lowered. If the person to be protected knows the escape skill, the chance of success improves. If the person to be protected is in the same group as the person attacking then you will not intercept the blow.

Only physical attacks (hit, bash and kick) are affected by this command.

Examples:

  protect             lists who you will try to protect
  protect frodo       toggles whether you will try to protect Frodo or not
  protect myself      clears the list of people you will protect
