Pleading

Pleading is a Prowess introduced in Middens.

Battle Effects
The move does not damage the Time Nomad's party whatsoever, and, in fact, damages all creatures. However, the damage is only ever in the single digits, and given how the vast majority of enemies have health in the thousands, the damage is negligible. A dialogue box will pop up in attempts to create an uneasiness within the player.

Insult and Death Poem are similar Prowess, though the former is used to taunt the party instead.

Pleading contains three different dialogue category each time it is used.

Pleading
The creature verbally begs for its life.
 * "What have I done to deserve this."
 * "Please, I have a family."
 * "I love you."
 * "Help me!"
 * "Please, I'll do anything to continue living."
 * "No, wait!"
 * "No, no no."
 * "Love and peace."
 * "How can you be so stoic?"
 * "But I want to live to see another day."
