Usage: protect
Usage: protect [PC or NPC]
The protect command will allow you to shield another being against blows. It is non-aggressive, which means that you will not hit back against enemies attacking the person you are protecting and it won't start a combat between you and the attacker.
The attacker will randomly hit between the target and everyone that's protecting the target.
If used without any argument, this command informs everyone you are protecting.
