This is the generic battle maneuver taught to every advanced offensive
fighter. In its simplest form this maneuver is used to deliver a
devastating blow with your primary weapon, but experienced fighters know
how to turn the angle of their blade to cut deep wounds, or to stun their
opponents. The ability to strike well depends on many factors: your weapon,
strength, dexterity and skill in handling your weapon, as well as your
knowledge of the maneuver. The ones skillful in striking mighty blows,
stunning, injuring and wounding are more than deadly opponents. It is said
that striking with a two-handed weapon, or when using a shield in other
hand, can be extremely effective occasionally, especially for professional
soldiers. The syntax for using the maneuver:
        battle -m strike   --   the most simple way
       battle -m strike at to stun -- random opponent, special effect
        battle -m strike at <target> <effect>, where effect
        is one of the following 'to injure', 'to wound' or 'to stun'.
        For example: battle -m strike at rabbit to stun
        Without the effect argument your chance to succeed increases,
        as you do not attempt any fancy moves.
