Warcries/Berserk Update

Author: GS4-COASE

The following updates have been made to the Warcry/Berserk skills:

-Yertie's Yowlp has been redesigned to help defend against warcries and warcry-like attacks (griffin shrieks, animal roars, etc.) instead of providing the previous AS boost. Yowlp may now be stacked with either Shout or Holler.

-Seannette's Shout's vocal stress cost has been decreased.

-Horland's Holler can now be used regardless of group status.

-The offensive warcries (Bertrandt's Bellow, Gerrelle's Growl, and Carn's Cry) may now be used in open mode with the ALL option, targetting all creatures in the room at once. The vocal stress cost of open mode is significantly greater than single target mode.

-Berserking will now make use of MSTRIKEs instead of regular attacks if you are sufficiently trained in MOC. If there are multiple creatures in the room, open mstrike will be used. If there is only one target remaining, focused mstrike will be used.

-In exchange, Berserk now has a stamina cost per round of 10 Stamina (-8 Rank 1, -6 Rank 2, -4 Rank 3, -2 Rank 4). In addition, a 60 second mstrike recovery period will apply after the termination of a berserk. If you run out of stamina while berserking, the berserk will automatically end.
