Choke

               --=== Help for Necromancer Command (choke) ===--

Syntax: Choke <target>

Choking Grasp
This technique is one beloved of high level Necromancers, as the panic it causes - the delightful realisation of death in its pitiful victims - is sweet nectar. The Necromancer forsakes use of her weapons or rituals and instead strides forward and grasps her victim around the tender throat with both cadaverous hands. Try as he might, the victim will not be able to break free and will take choking damage each and every round thereafter. Only the death of the Necromancer, or her decision to release him will prevent a certain, agonising and prolonged death.

Of course, while in this state, the Necromancer is extremely vulnerable. The victim can continue to attack, and while his attacks will be weak, he can be virtually guaranteed of hitting. Likewise should any friends of the victim join the melee, the Necromancer will be extremely vulnerable. Thus this technique is best used on lone victims, late at night and miles from any help.
