For quite some time, folks have been asking me about {{PRel|Trader}} combat abilities. As many of you may remember, a couple months ago I mentioned I was working on something that was combat related, sort of.

This ability, which is actually more of an "Oh my lord, I'm in combat! Get me out of here!" ability, is now live in both [[Prime]] and [[Platinum|Plat]] instances (but not [[The Fallen|Fallen]] as yet).

I will let you folks play with the ability to find all the details, but here are a few details.

The syntax for the ability is {{PRel|Tell command|{{tt|TELL}} ''<pack animal/caravan>'' {{tt|SPOOK}}}}.

There are a few limitations to the ability.
:1. There is a timer associated with it so you can't simply use the ability over and over continually.
:2. The pack animal will only look at compass directions (i.e. north, southwest, up, down and so on), and will not look at things like gates, doors, trails, paths and the like.
:3. You cannot use this ability if you are currently involved in a challenge.
:4. There is a very slight chance that you can get minor injuries using this ability. The chance is fairly small, but is there on purpose.

Enjoy,
