COMBAT

Combat is the very essence of Dark Pawns, when it is just the player or players against the mob in the field of battle. To that end, most of the SPELLS in the game are designed to aid you in combat in some way.

Combat on Dark Pawns takes the form of standard rounds. During each round, you have the opportunity to hit your opponent, and he or she has the opportunity to hit you. Different things can affect the rounds of combat, of course. As you get higher in level, most classes will gain extra ATTACKS to help you in battle. You may also use the combat skills you gain from leveling in battle, but be aware that some of these skills will “lag” you, causing you to miss rounds of combat. There are also multiple skills to “lag” your opponent. These rounds of combat continue until either the player is dead, the mob is dead, or one of you decides to FLEE from battle.

Combat is the chief way to gain experience, levels, and equipment on Dark Pawns.
