The {{boldmono|ATTACK}} verb, alternatively used as {{boldmono|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==
<small>'''''Note:''' This will populate with either {{boldmono|ATTACK HELP}} or {{boldmono|HELP ATTACK}}.''</small>
<pre{{log2}}>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.</pre>

You swing with a fist-scythe at a lesser orc!
  [[Attack strength|AS]]: +109 vs [[DS]]: +44 with [[AvD]]: +39 + d100 roll: +70 = +174
