Generic humanoid NPC combat info so I don't need to repeat myself every time.

Basic enemy types

Foot Soldier

Quick Strike

A basic melee attack that does minor physical damage.

Heavy Attack

A heavy melee attack that does moderate physical damage. It can be blocked to set the enemy off balance.

The enemy backs away from the player and throws a dagger at the player causing snare and bleed if it connects. This attack can be interrupted to set the enemy off balance. The dagger can be blocked to prevent the snare and bleed and reduce the damage done.

Ignite

A combo move that is only performed if Archers, Fire Mages or other fire using enemies (Flame Atronachs, Scamps etc.) are around.

The Soldier will call for the other enemy to light the tar (usually accompanied by a voice clip) and the red circle will burn, doing moderate flame damage over time to enemies within the red circle.
