- A suggestion on how to include the info Daev gave on the assassin kick improvements below, actual help files + the additions in bold (the RSK bit could use some info on how it affects scissor kick, makes it faster?):
WHEELKICK SWEEPKICK SIDEKICK 'WHEEL KICK' 'SWEEP KICK' 'SIDE KICK' (729)
syntax: wheelkick sweepkick sidekick
The basic kicking forms involve the primary leg being parallel to the ground. The motion can be circular in the case of the wheel kicks and sweepkicks, or direct as with the side kick. The art of kicking requires years of study. As you progress in your studies, new techniques will become available to you.
The most basic kick assassins will learn is the wheel kick. Once this is mastered, the sweep kick can then be attempted. This brutal kick to the outside thigh of the victim is especially punishing when continued throughout the fight. The final kick in this series is the side kick. Using a short hop for momentum, the leg is cocked across the body like a tensed spring before being released as the hop brings the assassin into range. When successful, the side kick blocks one attack against the assassin.
To practice these at your guild, you must enter the full name of the kick you want to learn, surrounded by quotes -- e.g.: practice "sweep kick"
--- SCISSORKICK MULEKICK 'SCISSOR KICK' 'MULE KICK' (733)
syntax: scissorkick mulekick <target>
The two exotic kicks, scissor and mule, are the assassin's first entrance into the intermediate ranks. Both require the stamina and confidence that comes from reaching this rank. The scissor kick allows the assassin to bring their opponent to the ground using their legs coupled with gravity. With the legs wrapped around the body of the victim, the assassin twists as they fall, bringing the victim down. This allows the assassin to take one extra attack against the victim. The mule kick is against opponents that are fighting the assassin, but are not being directly attacked in return. By careful positioning, the assassin is able to kick backwards in a surprise attack against the person behind them.
--- CRESCENTKICK AXEKICK MOUNTAINSTORMKICK 'CRESCENT KICK' 'AXE KICK' 'MOUNTAIN STORM KICK' (736)
Syntax: crescentkick axekick mountainstormkick
The next plateau for kicking lies in the crescent motion of the leg perpendicular to the ground. The basic crescent calls for the foot to be brought from the inside across the victim. When successful it can slash through their defenses and disarm the victim.
The axe kick follows the first part of the crescent motion, but rather than complete to the outside, the foot is instead dropped straight down on the shoulder of the victim. Victims too large cannot be successfully axe kicked, so the normal crescent kick must suffice.
The completion of this stage is the mountain storm kick. The crescent motion is joined with a short jump. The result adds power to an already powerful strike. Also, knowledge of the mountain storm kick improves the basic wheel kick, making it faster to execute.
See also: ASSASSIN
--- DOUBLESPINKICK 'DOUBLE SPIN KICK' (742)
syntax: doublespinkick
The double spin kick is one of the most advanced kicks, and should only be attempted by assassins of high rank. The spin direction can either be either inside to outside, or vice versa. The success of the second kick is virtually guaranteed if the first one is landed.
--- RISINGPHOENIXKICK 'RISING PHOENIX KICK' (743)
syntax: risingphoenixkick
Mimicing the fiery phoenix rising from the ashes, the assassin facing multiple foes begins a series of leaps. Similar to the mountain storm kick, the assassin performs the rising crescent kick, but as time and study have allowed, the leap is much more controlled. As a result, each opponent fighting the assassin will be targetted with this kick. Also, knowledge of the rising phoenix kick improves the scissor kick.
