SMEAR (2620)
Syntax: smear <PC or NPC corpse> <armor> Orcish berserkers may use the innards from a corpse of a fallen foe to ritualistically decorate a large item of armor, such as a full helmet, a shield, or something that can cover the torso, arms, or legs. Eviscerating a corpse in this manner spills many of the internal fluids, rendering the corpse useless for Exsanguination or similar actions which require them. Smeared innards enhance the armor in question, with the side effect of making it so that only another orc familiar with this ritual could bear to wear it. More powerful foes, especially adventurers of repute, inspire the most satisfying and potent 'artwork' from orcs. In addition to enhancing morale and related benefits, orcs gain additional protective value from the unholy power of Smeared armor.
