ANTICIPATE (3003)

Syntax: anticipate
        anticipate [skill|spell|supplication|etc]

A monk who envisions a particular threat may condition his or her mind to
prepare for that contingency.  While this is active, they will be likely
to foil that threat, akin to a successful Evade.  This divinely guided level
of concentration is so intense that even a sleeping monk may envision an
impending threat and react to avoid it, though this is very difficult.

If the monk is unarmed when this occurs, he or she may take advantage of
the opportunity created by their foresight to land one or more strikes on
the would-be attacker.

'anticipate' by itself removes any ongoing effects of this skill.

Example: anticipate dirt kicking
