Code:
[Skills help] blitzkrieg
Syntax: blitz
Blitzkrieg, like other skills which fighters have, can be used during
combat to increase the damage done to their enemies. It allows those
wielding a slashing type weapon to make a single attack against everyone
in the front row of the enemy formation. The skill can be used but once
every few rounds.
So the helpfile sounds pretty cool. I could if I so choose having wielded a slashing weapon make a single attack against the enemy formation's front row. However, the stark reality is that the skill behaves nothing like what the helpfile says. When using blitzkrieg it functions much like spirit horde, in that it only targets those that are in direct melee with the mercenary. This includes people in the 2nd row, if the mercenary is wielding a reaching weapon, and able to hit that row. Functionally, any mercenary in the 2nd row themselves cannot make use of this skill...or can they?

As shown by this, you can use blitzkrieg, it does no damage, but it still eats moves, and a character can still improve at it.
Can this skill be fixed to function like it actually should, though?
