Banded smiting initiative
Usage: banded smiting initiative <target>
Banded smiting initiative is a basic combat initiative prevention ability. Combat initiative abilities focus on aspects of battle that can only be performed at the beginning of combat. Therefore, banded smiting initiative can only be performed to initiate battle.
Smiting initiative is a skill that takes advantage of an opponent's lack of anticipation of attack. Due to this, the attacker can deal a decent amount of damage and then continue using other skills immediately.
The damage done by smiting initiative is based entirely on the user's strength. Banded smiting initiative has a moderate prevention period. Basic combat initiatives can be used again after banded smiting's prevention has worn off.
It has been rumored that this ability improves in power for users who exceed 100% ability mastery.
