Chain (Slave Pits)

Chain is the action available for a character just after he has landed a hit on his opponent. It uses the same attack buttons as an attack (and the use item button, if an item is ready).

The attack buttons show for a variable amount of time, the 'chain time', that depends on the deviation of the attack that hit, the pressure, the character's talents, etc...

If the character chooses to chain, the stamina is checked and spent as for any attack, and a regular attack begins. A hit takes away half of the current pressure (less with some off-hand weapons or talents) and the chained attack is made with the rest; after it, the pressure resets completely.

A chain not used for any reason is 'forfeit', and both combatants are idle again.
