Combat Abilities
When in battle you can periodically (every two-three minutes) activate combat abilities. They are

Rage (15 strength required, press J key)
+5 power strike, power draw, power throw, ironflesh.
+20 strength, +5 agility.

this costs 15 experience per level, and lasts for [twice strength level] seconds.
after that time the skills/stats return to normal.

Combat Focus (15 intelligence required, press H key)
+[ten times intelligence level] proficiency to all weapons.
+5 agility.

this costs 10 experience per level, and lasts for [twice intelligence level] seconds.
after that time the skills/stats return to normal.

Sprint (15 agility required, press K key)
+5 athletics.
+15 agility.

this costs 7 experience per level, and lasts for [agility level] seconds.
after that time the skills/stats return to normal.

The duration of combat abilities can be extended by 10 seconds by carrying an Endurance Charm.

Add to combat missions in mission_templates (random battle, siege, village raid);

These scripts are really handy to add some interest into a mod, particulalry fo rspecialist things (jooining a guild for example).

Notes;

                     (player_has_item,"itm_charm_b"),
                     (val_add,reg2,10),
                     (display_message,"@Your endurance charm gets warm "),             
                (else_try),
                (try_end),

This section, appaering in each ability, requires the endurance charm item and so can be removed in the majority of mods.

(0, 0, 150, [(key_clicked, key_h),(store_attribute_level,reg4,"trp_player",2),(ge,reg4,15),(eq,reg19,1),(neg|main_hero_fallen)],

One nice easy trick for this section is to add a conditional as foollows;

(0, 0, 150, [(eq, "$player_is_assassin", 1)(key_clicked, key_h),(store_attribute_level,reg4,"trp_player",2),(ge,reg4,15),(eq,reg19,1),(neg|main_hero_fallen)],

This lets you enable the abilities after the player has done a quest or suchlike.

(0, 0, 150, [(key_clicked, key_h),(store_attribute_level,reg4,"trp_player",2),(ge,reg4,15),(eq,reg19,1),(neg|main_hero_fallen)],

The highlighted section gives the conditional that the player must havbe 15 in an attribute to do the skill. You can remove this quickly by setting the number to 0.
