Skill Mechanics

Skill Mechanics

Skill Mechanics (or base skills) are simple skills that are built into MythicMobs. You can call these basic skills by themselves in your mob's Skill List, or you can create your own skill by combining these mechanics.

Some Mechanics are able to target Entities, Locations, or both! Some don't target anything. You control what your skill targets using a Targeter.

These skills usually target entities (players or other mobs), but some are able to target locations as well.
