a character (player or mob) is subdued, they will be rendered 
incapacitated and bleeding to death.  Subduing is not an exact 
science.  You should not count on subduing to prevent you from killing 
your opponent.  If you hit your opponent too hard on the finishing 
blow, they may be killed instead of subdued.  If you use an attack 
spell on your opponent, they will also be killed.  When a character is 
subdued, you may use the GRAB command to take items from them.  This 
command is a toggle.  Typing AUTOSUBDUE will toggle it on and off.

Tells to link-dead players are stored in a similar fashion, and can also be

Once you start a fight, you can't just walk away from it.  If the 
fight is not going well, you can attempt to FLEE, RETREAT, RECALL, or 
another character can RESCUE you.  Everyone has the ability to FLEE.  
RETREAT is a skill that only certain classes may gain.  When you FLEE 
or RETREAT, you will run from combat into an adjacent room.  You 
cannot FLEE or RETREAT through closed doors.  When you FLEE, the 
direction that you flee from combat is random.  If you RETREAT, you 
can pick the direction that you run.  You can also RECALL from combat, 
but this is less likely to work and costs more experience points than 
fleeing.  
 
If you lose your link during a fight, then your character will keep 
fighting, and will attempt to RECALL from time to time.  Your chances 
of making the recall are reduced, and you will lose much more 
experience.

    emote <text>
 
The "," is short-hand for emote.
 
If Agapios typed:
emote smiles and turns his head skyward.
 
It would be read by others as:
Agapios smiles and turns his head skyward.
 
You can also use emotes, pmotes, amotes and smotes as a single
emote command.
 
If you place a * in the emote, it will replace your character's
short description for the * wherever it is.
 
Also, if you put a @ in an emote, the first word of the emote will
be used as its target, and wherever there is a @, it will be replaced
for the target's short description.
 
example:
 
emote Auryan looking up, * sighs and turns at @
 
would result on:
 
Looking up, a tall man with a dark beard sighs and turns at a blonde
woman with a childlike face.

Starting an emote with a # will cause the rps system to ignore it... 
in Athens the RPS audit system prevented people from spamming emotes to
get RPS, so if you want to alias a social into a specific emote, it is
recommended to put a # at the start of the emote.  The # will silently
be discarded at the time the emote is processed.

    consider <character>

CONSIDER tells you what your chances are of killing a character.
Of course, it's only a rough estimate.  Consider compares HP values,
telling you if the mob is smaller or larger than you, and levels, telling 
you if the mob is close to your own level.  There is some randomness built
in to reflect the inaccuracy of the estimate.

FOLLOW starts you following another character.  To stop following anyone 
else, just FOLLOW SELF.

GROUP <character> makes someone who is following you a member of your group.
Group members share experience points from kills and may use the SPLIT 
command.
If anyone in your group is attacked, you will automatically join the fight if
you are in the same room as that character, and you have autoassist ON
(see help autoassist).

If the <character> is already a member of your group, then GROUP will
kick out the <character> from your group.  Characters can also leave your
group by using a FOLLOW command to stop following you.

GROUP with no argument shows statistics for each character in your group.

You may FOLLOW and GROUP only with characters who are within eight levels of
your own.
 
Typing REPORT will let everyone in your location hear your current HP.

SAVE saves your character and objects.  The game saves your character every

will block all other commands for about 20 seconds, so use it sparingly.

Some objects, such as keys and objects more than 2 levels above you,
may not be saved.

QUIT automatically does a SAVE, so you can safely leave the game with just 
one command.
 
You may quit from any room that has been blessed with by the traveler
Hermes.  These rooms are marked with a pile of `WWhite Stones`c.  You
may also quit from the main room of the OOC Lounge.

SPLIT divides coins between you and all the members of your

the loot after a kill.  The first argument is the amount of silver
to split (0 is acceptable), and the second gold (optional).
Examples:

split 20 50     --> split 20 silver, 50 gold
split  0 10     --> split 10 gold

text `=lSyntax:`=? alias`+
        alias <word>`+
        alias <word> <substitution>`+
        unalias <word>`+
`+
The alias command allows limited shortening of command names.  At this time, 
aliases cannot call other aliases, and cannot generate more than one 
command.  Alias by itself lists your current aliases, Alias <word> lists the 
alias with that name (if such exist), and alias with both a word and 
argument produces a new alias.  You cannot alias either alias or unalias to 
a new command.  Another nice feature of aliases is the ability to use 
substitutions, very handy in creating personalized socials and whatnot.  The 
way to use substitutions is to include numbers (up to 3) with a % in front.  
Examples:`+
`+
`Yalias gc get all corpse`=?`+
-This alias allows you to 'get all corpse' by simply typing in gc.  `+
`+
`Yalias grin pmote %1 grins at @ slyly.  `=?`+
-This alias is an example of a custom social.  Typing 'grin Celrion' will do 
'pmote Celrion grins at @ slyly.  '`+
`+
Two notes about aliases: Using simple aliases such as the first two 
examples, you do not need to include any arguments.  Simply typing in 'gc' 
is just fine.  Using power aliasing with the %1, %2 and %3, you NEED to 
include arguments or the results you'd wind up with could be rather 
interesting (such as mis-pmotes, miscasts, etc).  Also, keep in mind that 
when using simple aliases, any arguments given are simply added to the end 
of the line (so typing 'gc look' would do 'get all corpse look') whereas 
with Power aliases only the number of arguments needed are taken (typing 
'grin Celrion cast invis' is essentially the same as typing 'grin Celrion')

with gain:
 
Gain uses training sessions, not practices. (see 'help train')
Gained skills and groups do NOT increase your experience per level or total
number of creation points. 
 
Please note when using gain points it will decrease your amount to level by 
a certain value. This value (50exp per 1 Creation point) is deducted from 
your total to level and then your current amount to level is also adjusted as 
if you had only just gained a level.
 

What this means to you is, Use the gain points command straight after you 
level so you get the most benefit, if you used it with only say 100 to your 
next level your exp to level will be set all the way back to what you need
for a whole level.

text `#`=lSyntax:`^ grab <object> <character>
`#`=lSyntax:`^ grab <amount> gold|silver <character>
 
GRAB takes an item from the target character.  The character can be 
either a mob or player.  The item may be in their inventory or 
equipped.  You may grab from a character if they are subdued or 
sleeping.  There is a greater chance of success if the character is 
subdued. You are likely to wake up the character if they are in
natural sleep. This command does not currently work if the target
is blind. If you are grabbing gold or silver, you must specify
the amount that you wish to grab.
