== Information ==

To successfully use this skill, both rescuer and the rescued must be fighting, not necessarily the same adversary. A successful rescue will make the rescued's current direct adversary switch focus to the rescuer.  The [[luck]] stat of both rescuer and rescued plays a role, making it easier or harder to succeed: each [[luck]] point translates into a percentage point, which either raises or lowers the initial learned percent depending on a thresold.

If the rescuer is devoted to a [[deity]] a success will also modify his [[favor]], depending upon his deity's characteristics (helping others).

Another way to change tanks, much more efficient than rescue when it can be done, is [[style tanking]].
