Is this basically what you were talking about?

Usage: mercy [death/beg/force]

By using the mercy command, a player can specify under what conditions
they will spare the life of a foe. Using 'mercy' by itself will
display your current settings for granting mercy. If you grant
mercy to your opponent, they will be held under your blade, and
able to do only a small number of actions. Attempting to murder
someone who you have in such a state will immediately result in
their demise.

'mercy death' will toggle whether or not you will hold back on the
death-dealing blow to a foe.
'mercy beg' will toggle whether or not you will grant mercy to an
opponent who 'beg's for it.
'mercy force' will toggle whether or not you immediately finish off
a foe you have granted mercy to if you are attacked
by another.

[Hit Return to continue]

A player may use the "beg" command to beg mercy of an opponent
who they are fighting, even if the deathblow is not imminent.

The "grantmercy" command will release a victim who you have at
your mercy.

Let it be known that at times the best of intentions will go
awry, and the deathblow cannot always be held back, particularly
when dealing with magic. Gladiators, experienced in the ways of
such fighting, suffer less from this problem than others.
