FEEDING

NAME
feed - use special vampiric attack (fey only)

SYNOPSIS
feed [<victim name>]

DESCRIPTION
Feed is not a command that will give food to that cuddly cute little pet
of yours, rather it's the vicious command that lets the faerie race of
feys drink the blood of a designated victim from its neck. You may feed
before combat, but not during, as it is fairly difficult to creep up
behind someone when they are fighting you!

If the victim is wearing an item that is bane to feys or vampires,
it will ward off the attack.

Depending on the reaction the victim has to the feeding, he may become
paralyzed for a brief period of time.

Fey may also drink the blood spilled that remains from a recent fight by
using the 'FEED' command with no arguments in the location containing
the blood.

If you are sneaking (through the SNEAK command) when you attempt to
FEED on someone, you will gain a bonus to your feeding accuracy.

REQUIREMENTS
* This skill is only received racially.
* This skill is available racially to Fey.
* In order to practice this skill you must have achieved at least 1%
Combat Complexity Comprehension.
* This skill may not be used while you are behind another character in
your formation.

Feed works no matter what the enemy's healt, unlike backstab, which doesn't work if they are below 50% health
