.: Help for rake

The rake command drives your natural claws across your opponent,
tearing open wounds that continue to bleed. It deals moderate
damage and applies a bleeding condition on a successful strike.

Requirements:

  - Must have natural claws (clawed species only)
  - Must be in active combat
  - Cannot be used if special move cooldown is active

Usage:

  rake
  Attempt to rake your current combat target

Mechanics:

  Damage: Moderate — the slashing strike itself deals real harm.
  Bleed: A successful rake opens wounds that continue to
    bleed over several rounds, dealing additional damage beyond
    the initial strike.
  Cooldown: Shared with other special moves.
  Skill: Progresses Unarmed Combat

Rake's persistent bleed makes it valuable for wearing down
opponents over the course of a longer fight. See
help conditions for details on the bleeding effect.
