'LAST STAND' (2464)

Syntax: This is an automatic skill.

Orcish berserkers often exhibit feats of great ferocity when cornered or
scared.  Foes who prevent an orc's escape when cowardice overtakes them 
risk a powerful retributive strike from the orc for their efforts.  The
savagery of some of these blows can catch unwary opponents off-guard, and
slip past their defenses.

Orcs who initiate attacks while badly injured will lack the instinct to make
this ability very effective.  In a similar fashion, orcs who have allies
present will be less scared, and less likely to lash out in terror.
