 +Syntax: defense [random/roll/dodge/block]                                   
 +                                                                              
 +You can set your defense to random (default), roll, dodge or block.    
 +Block, dodge and roll have their own strengths and weaknesses (detailed     
 +below), and will be more or less effective depending on the enemy you are   
 +fighting.                                                                   
 +                                                                              
 +Block is based primarily on strength, though wisdom and constitution   
 +are also considered.  Block is more effective against piercing attacks,     
 +though it is less effective against blunt weapons.  Block will also reduce  
 +damage at a much greater rate than the other two forms.                     
 +                                                                              
 +Dodge is based primarily on dexterity, though wisdom and intelligence  
 +both factor prominently.  Dodge is more effective against blunt attacks,    
 +and less effective against slashing attacks.  Dodge will negate damage if   
 +it succeeds, though if you fail to dodge, you will take the full amount.    
 +                                                                              
 +Roll is based primarily on quickness, though wisdom and dexterity are  
 +also taken into consideration.  Roll is more effective against slashing     
 +attacks, and less effective against piercing attacks.  Roll will negate     
 +damage if successful, but will reduce damage if it fails.  The damage Roll  
 +prevents on a failure is much less than that of a success, but Roll also    
 +has a lower chance of avoiding the blow than dodge.                         
 +                                                                              
 +Random isn't an actual defense, so much as it randomly chooses one of  
 +the three forms of defense for you every attack.  Furthermore, you cannot   
 +improve your defenses when using random, because you're not focussed enough 
 +to do new things.  You can still learn from watching your opponent, though.
