You cannot accept a challenge while in hell or jail, or fighting. If you have the required amount of coins being challenged, you will both be transported to the arena. See also: ARENA CHALLENGE ~ -1 SCRY~ Scry is a spell which once cast, allows you to see into rooms directly around you. Type cast 'scry' to use. Once casted, if you type look north, then it will look into the room to the north and show you that room, who's in it, and what objects are in it. ~ -1 SCHOOL~ Mud School was designed by Hatchet of MERC Industries for any MERC mud. The purpose of Mud School is to orient new players to the basics of the game and provide equipment and experience for a few levels. Experienced players are encouraged to go through Mud School for their initial levels and equipment. You may not 'SAVE' your character until your character reaches 2nd level. You may train your attributes and make them better at the Adept of Furey one 'NORTH' and one 'WEST' of the Entrance of Mud School. See 'HELP TRAIN'. There is also a practice adept one 'NORTH' and one 'EAST' of the Entrance of Mud School. You may not practice until your character reaches 3rd level however. See 'HELP PRACTICE'. ~ 0 !~ &RSyntax:&B &w! ! repeats the last command you typed. ~ 0 NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST UP DOWN~ Syntax: north Syntax: south Syntax: east Syntax: west Syntax: up Syntax: down Use these commands to walk in a particular direction. ~ 0 BUY LIST SELL VALUE~ &RSyntax: buy <object> Syntax: list <object> Syntax: sell <object> Syntax: value <object>&w &BBUY&w buys an object from a shop keeper. &BLIST&w with no argument lists the objects the shop keeper will sell you. &BLIST&w <object> lists only the items corresponding with <object> the shop keeper will sell you. &BSELL&w sells an object to a shop keeper. &BVALUE&w asks the shop keeper how much he, she, or it will buy the item for. &BBUY&w, &BSELL&w, and &BVALUE&w, as well as most other object manipulation commands, allow the use of #.object format, where # is a number or the word "all". For example, if &BLIST DAGGER&w showed you that a shopkeeper had five daggers, and you were interested in buying the third one, you would type: "buy 3.dagger". ~ 0 PET PETS~ You can buy pets in the pet shop. You may buy one more pet each time you advance in level. Your pet-buying opportunities do not accumulate; use them or lose them. This policy prevents wholesale abuse of pets. You are responsible for the actions of your pets. Conversely, if you attack someone else's pet, you will be penalized as if you attacked them. It is a good idea to refrain from attacking creatures labelled '(Charmed)'. ~ 0 CAST~ Syntax: cast <spell> <target> Before you can cast a spell, you have to practice it. The more you practice, the higher chance you have of success when casting. Casting spells costs mana. The mana cost decreases as your level increases. The <target> is optional. Many spells which need targets will use an appropriate default target, especially during combat. If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name. Example: cast 'cure critic' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word spells. You can abbreviate the spell name. When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving throw. The effect of the spell is reduced or eliminated if the victim makes the saving throw successfully. See also the help sections for individual spells and SING for bards. ~ 0 EXITS~ Syntax: exits Tells you the visible exits of the room you are in. Not all exits are visible. You can use the 'bump' technique to find hidden exits (try to walk in a certain direction and see what you bump into). If you have AUTOEXIT set, you will automatically see the visible exits whenever you walk into a room. ~ 0 DROP GET GIVE PUT TAKE~ Syntax: drop <object> Syntax: drop <amount> coins Syntax: get <object> Syntax: get <object> <container> Syntax: give <object> <character> Syntax: give <amount> coins <character> Syntax: put <object> <container> COINS being one of gold, silver or copper. DROP drops an object, or some coins, on the ground. GET gets an object, either lying on the ground, or from a container, or even from a corpse. TAKE is a synonym for get. GIVE gives an object, or some coins, to another character. PUT puts an object into a container. DROP, GET, and PUT, as well as most other object manipulation commands, allow the use of #.object format, where # is a number or the word "all". For example, if you had five daggers and you wanted to give the third one away, you would type "give 3.dagger frag". Or if you felt philanthropic and decided to let everyone eat your pot pies, you could type "drop all.pie". ~ 0 EQUIPMENT INVENTORY~ Syntax: equipment Syntax: inventory EQUIPMENT lists your equipment (worn armor, weapons, and held items) INVENTORY lists your visible inventory/what you are carrying ~ 0 BACKSTAB BS DISARM KICK KILL MURDER~ Syntax: backstab <character> Syntax: disarm Syntax: kick Syntax: kill <character> Syntax: murder <character> KILL starts a fight, and, hopefully, kills something. BACKSTAB is another way to start a fight, used by thieves. BS is a synonym for BACKSTAB. MURDER is used to kill other player characters. There are restrictions on murdering low level players, and there are penalties for using MURDER. You must also MURDER followers/charmed mobiles. DISARM is an auxiliary fighting command to disarm your opponent. Similarly, KICK will inflict more damage during combat by kicking. In order to BACKSTAB, DISARM, or KICK successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill. ~ 0 EXAMINE LOOK READ~ Syntax: look Syntax: look <object> Syntax: look <character> Syntax: look <direction> Syntax: look <keyword> Syntax: look in <container> Syntax: look in <corpse> Syntax: examine <container> Syntax: examine <corpse> Syntax: read <keyword> LOOK looks at something and sees what you can see. LOOK by itself will give the description of the room you are in. See also BRIEF. EXAMINE is short for 'LOOK container' followed by 'LOOK IN container'. READ is the same as LOOK, but it sounds better to 'READ sign' than to 'LOOK sign', doesn't it? ~ 0 ORDER~ Syntax: order <character> command Syntax: order all command ORDER orders one or all of your charmed followers (including pets) to perform any command. The command may have arguments. You are responsible for the actions of your followers, and others who attack your followers will incur the same penalty as if they attacked you directly. Most charmed creatures lose their aggresive nature (while charmed). If your charmed creature engages in combat, that will break the charm, and they will no longer follow your orders. ~ 0 REST SLEEP STAND WAKE~ Syntax: rest Syntax: sleep Syntax: stand Syntax: wake Syntax: wake <character> These commands change your position. When you REST or SLEEP, you regenerate hit points, mana points, and movement points faster. However, you are more vulnerable to attack, and if you SLEEP, you won't hear many things happen. Use STAND or WAKE to come back to a standing position. You can also WAKE other sleeping characters. ~ 0 GTELL ; REPLY SAY TELL~ Syntax: gtell <message> Syntax: ; <message> Syntax: say <message> Syntax: ' <message> Syntax: tell <character> <message> Syntax: reply <message> All of these commands send messages to other players. GTELL sends a message to all of the characters in your group, wherever they are, even if they are sleeping or stunned or dying. ';' is a synonym for GTELL. You can GTELL no matter what your own condition is (i.e., sleeping, fighting, mortally wounded). SAY sends a message to all awake players in your room. The single quote (') is a synonym for SAY. TELL sends a message to one awake player anywhere in the world. REPLY sends a message to the last player who sent you a TELL. REPLY will work even if you can't see the player, and without revealing their identity. This is handy for talking to invisible or switched immortal players. You must be awake to SAY or TELL, but you can still REPLY while sleeping. ~ 0 HOLD REMOVE WEAR WIELD~ Syntax: hold <object> Syntax: remove <object> Syntax: wear <object> Syntax: wear all Syntax: wield <object> Three of these commands will take an object from your inventory and start using it as equipment. HOLD is for light sources, wands, and staves. WEAR is for armor. WIELD is for weapons. WEAR ALL will attempt to HOLD, WEAR, or WIELD each suitable item in your inventory. You may not be able to HOLD, WEAR, or WIELD an item if its alignment does not match yours, if it is too heavy for you, or if you are not experienced enough to use it properly. Your class and race may also affect the "wearability" of any item or piece of equipment. REMOVE will take any object from your equipment and put it back into your inventory. ~ 50 WIZHELP~ Syntax: wizhelp WIZHELP provides a list of all of the immortal commands available to you. ~ 0 AREAS COMMANDS SOCIALS~ Syntax: areas Syntax: commands Syntax: socials Syntax: area <level#> AREAS shows you all of the areas in the game, with the author's name and the suggested levels. COMMANDS shows you all of the commands (except socials) available to you. SOCIALS shows you all of the social commands available to you.

Also help on: DAMAGE DEATH EXPERIENCE NEWS STORY TICK ~ 0 DAMAGE~ When one character attacks another, the severity of the damage is shown in the verb used in the damage message. Here are all the damage verbs listed from least damage to most damage: miss wound MUTILATE DEMOLISH scratch maul DISEMBOWEL ANNIHILATE graze decimate EVISCERATE UNSPEAKABLE hit devastate MASSACRE injure maim ~ 0 DEATH~ &WPlease read this, and keep all in mind. For short version see "help death2".&w When your character dies, you are reincarnated persay. This is, of course, depending on the level of your character at the time of death. If you die AT or UNDER LEVEL 20, you and your corpse will be transferred to the morgue. Here you can GET ALL CORPSE and SAVE. You will then have to ENTER <your portal of choice>. If you are GOOD ALIGNED, you will want to ENTER BETHAVEN. If you are EVIL ALIGNED, you will most likely choose to ENTER RAVENWOOD, as it is well-known for its shadowy places. NEUTRAL characters are welcomed in either of the towns. Of course, you may go to Ravenwood if you are good aligned, but you will surely pay the price. If you are OVER LEVEL 20 at the time of death, you will be sent to the morgue. That is, your mind and soul will be transferred to the morgue where it will have to seek out and find your body to join with once again. Of course, if you have no luck in finding your corpse you will have to re-equip yourself with no armour to aid you. The Gods have been known to grant favors for mortals who are reknown for great deed-doing (helping newbies, and helping others retrieve lost corpses). To expect such a favor is sacriledge, and to receive one... a great honor. ** Any affected_by spells are cancelled upon death.** **Followers and group members are not affected by death** **You lose experience points for dying. You lose half-way back to the beginning of your level.** **All followers are lost upon your death. (or theirs)** &R***&WCorpses decay after time, and the objects inside corpses decay with them. Player corpses last -roughly- 30 hours of MUD time (15 minutes real time). Only the player who died, or someone in the same group, can retrieve objects from a player's corpse.&R***&w ~ 0 EXPERIENCE LEVEL XP~ Your character advances in power by gaining experience. You need 1000 experience points for each level of experience. You gain experience by: killing monsters being part of a group that kills a monster You lose experience by: fleeing from combat recalling out of combat being the target of certain spells dying The experience you get from a kill depends on several things: how many players are in your group; your level versus the level of the monster; your alignment versus the monster's alignment; how many of this monster have been killed lately; and some random variation. ~ -1 STORY~ One hundred and fifty years ago ... Nomads from the Great Eastern desert brought spices and slaves to the Thalos Market. Dwarven miners, rough and rude, sold precious stones and drank the town dry of firebreathers. Stone golems, created by mages from the Tower of High Sorcery, stood sentry duty in the watch towers. It was dawn on the Day of Thunder. The Mayor of Midgaard (great-grand-father of today's Mayor) arrived early to pay tribute at City Hall. He entered the Grand Gate unchallenged. He found the streets and markets empty. Seeing a nearby lamia, he asked her about the residents. Where were all the people? The lamia didn't act like a lamia. Instead of answering him in the helpful but stupid lamia manner, she stabbed the Mayor with a long, slim dagger. Other lamias, hearing the tumult, arrived and attacked. The Mayor was killed. Now Thalos is abandoned. Wild lamias roam the streets, killing intruders and sacrificing their bodies at the Temple of Thalos. The golems no longer respond to command and now watch eternally from their ruined towers. Midgaard is next. ~ 0 TICK~ Many of the game actions are based upon interval timers, including combat, most autonomous monster actions, hp/mana/move regeneration, spell duration, weather, and area resetting. Of these timers, the hp/mana/move regeneration timer is popularly called the 'tick'. Ticks on this mud average 30 seconds of real time, but the actual amount varies randomly from 15 seconds to 45 seconds. Area resetting happens roughly every 3 minutes if no one is in the area; less often (15 minutes) if some one is. Also note that objects lying on the ground will not be regenerated if anyone is in the area when it resets. When an area resets, you are often notified with what is called the "area sound". Usually some theme to the area. Again, some areas have no sound and you will not be physically warned of a reset. ~ 0 BUG IDEA TYPO~ Syntax: bug <message> Syntax: idea <message> Syntax: typo <message> These commands will take your message and record it into a file as feedback to the mud implementors. ~ 0 COMPARE~ Syntax: compare <object-1> <object-2> Syntax: compare <object> COMPARE compares two objects in your inventory. If both objects are weapons, it will report the one with the better average damage. If both objects are armor, it will report the one with the better armor class. COMPARE with one argument compares an object in your inventory to the object you are currently wearing or wielding of the same type. COMPARE doesn't consider any special affects on the objects, so it might not be completely accurate. An IDENTIFY spell is more accurate than COMPARE. ~ 0 CONSIDER~ Syntax: consider <character> CONSIDER tells you what your chances are of killing a character, as well as a comparison of your relative health. Of course, it's only a rough estimate and your opponents shields are usually not considered in this comparison. ~ 0 CREDITS~ Syntax: credits This command shows the list of the original Diku Mud implementors. ~ -1 DIKU~ . Original game idea, concept, and design: Katja Nyboe [Superwoman] (katz@freja.diku.dk) Tom Madsen [Stormbringer] (noop@freja.diku.dk) Hans Henrik Staerfeldt [God] (bombman@freja.diku.dk) Michael Seifert [Papi] (seifert@freja.diku.dk) Sebastian Hammer [Quinn] (quinn@freja.diku.dk) Additional contributions from: Michael Curran - the player title collection and additional locations.

The EnvyMud Staff ~ -1 MAP MAPS~ Experienced explorers have chronicled their adventures and 'sold' their rights to the local mapmaker in Midgaard. You might find the shop wherelse but close to profit minded thieves. ~ 0 HELP~ Syntax: help Syntax: help <keyword> HELP without any arguments shows a one-page command summary. HELP <keyword> shows a page of help on that keyword. The keywords include all the commands, spells, and skills listed in the game. ~ 0 REPORT SCORE TIME WEATHER~ Syntax: report Syntax: score Syntax: time Syntax: weather REPORT shows your current statistics to you and also announces them to other players in the room. SCORE shows detailed statistics to you only. TIME shows the game time, as well as the time the mud was last started, and the current local time for the host computer. TWO MUD HOURS = ONE REAL MINUTE WEATHER shows the current game weather. ~ -1 PAGELENGTH PAGE PAGER~ Syntax: pagelength Syntax: pagelength <number> Pagelength without an argument sets the number of lines before page pause to the default of 20 lines. Pagelength with an argument sets the number of lines you wish to see on screen before page pausing. The maximum number of lines allowable before page pausing is 60. For more help on the pager, type 'h' while in the pager. ~ 0 SLIST~ Syntax: slist Syntax: slist <class> This command (with no argument) shows you ALL spells and skills available for your class. Typing this command with an argument shows you the list of spells and skills for the specified class. ~ 0 WHO~ Syntax: who Syntax: who <level-range> Syntax: who <class> Syntax: who <class> <level-range> WHO shows the people currently in the game. Some people may choose to remain unseen and won't appear on the WHO. WHO without any arguments shows all of the (visible) people currently playing. With arguments, WHO can show players of certain classes or levels. For example: who 10 lists all players of level 10 or above who 15 20 lists all players between level 15 and 20 who cleric lists all clerics playing who immortal lists all immortals playing who cleric 1 5 lists all clerics between levels 1 and 5 who playername shows you the specified player ~ -1 WHOIS~ Syntax: whois <character> WHOIS gives you WHO information on a specific character. If your request is vague, it will match your text to anyone with that string in their names. For example, "WHOIS frag" might return information on Frag, Fraggle, and McFraggadocio. ~ 0 AUTO CONFIG CONFIGURE~ Syntax: auto Syntax: config Syntax: config +<option> Syntax: config -<option> AUTO shows the status of some of your character behavior options. The CONFIG command configures some of your character behavior. With no options, CONFIG shows you your current settings (identical to the AUTO command). With a plus or minus sign and an option, CONFIG turns that option on or off. The options are: AUTOEXIT You automatically see exits. AUTOCOINS You automatically get coins from corpses. AUTOSPLIT You automatically split coins with group members. AUTOLOOT You automatically loot corpses. AUTOSAC You automatically sacrifice corpses. ANSI You have ansi colour enabled. BLANK You have a blank line before your prompt. BRIEF You see brief descriptions only. FULLNAME You are not using name completion. COMBINE You see object lists in combined format. PROMPT You have a prompt. TELNETGA You receive a telnet GA sequence. COMBAT You see all combat scroll. FULLNAME is important to have on (+) if you wish to see Extra Descriptions on objects. This is sometimes necessary to use when looking for clues in certain areas/quests. You can also type AUTOEXIT, AUTOLOOT, AUTOSAC, BLANK, BRIEF, or COMBINE directly from the prompt to toggle the status of these options. See the helps for these commands. ~ 0 AUTOEXIT~ Syntax: autoexit AUTOEXIT toggles your ability to automatically see exits as you enter a room. See CONFIGURE to find out which toggle is on and which is off. ~ 0 AUTOLOOT~ Syntax: autoloot AUTOLOOT toggles your ability to automatically loot corpses after you deal the final blow. See CONFIGURE to find out which toggle is on and which is off. ~ 0 AUTOSAC~ Syntax: autosac AUTOSAC toggles your ability to automatically sacrifice corpses after you deal the final blow. See CONFIGURE to find out which toggle is on and which is off. ~ 0 BLANK~ Syntax: blank BLANK toggles existance of a blank before your prompt. See CONFIGURE to find out which toggle is on and which is off. ~ 0 BRIEF~ Syntax: brief BRIEF toggles whether or not you automatically see verbose descriptions of rooms when you enter them. See CONFIGURE to find out which toggle is on and which is off. ~ 0 COMBINE~ Syntax: combine COMBINE toggles your seeing combined format of identical items in the room. See CONFIGURE to find out which toggle is on and which is off. ~ 0 CHANNEL CHANNELS~ Syntax: channels Syntax: channels +<channel> Syntax: channels -<channel> With no options, CHANNELS shows you your current channels. With a plus or minus sign and an option, CHANNELS turns that channel on or off. ~ 0 DESCRIPTION~ Syntax: description <string> Syntax: description + <string> Sets your personal description. That is, the description that players will see when they "look" at you. If the description string starts with a '+', the part after the '+' is appended to your currect description, so that you can make multi-line descriptions. Of course, the easiest way to make your description is to simply type DESCRIPTION which will take you into append mode (exactly the same as writing a note, see HELP NOTE) and you can format your text, delete lines, insert lines etc. Typing '.h' on a new line in append mode will give you the help file for append commands. ~ 0 PASSWORD~ Syntax: password <old-password> <new-password> PASSWORD changes your character's password. The first argument must be your old password. The second argument is your new password. The PASSWORD command is protected against being snooped or logged. ~ -1 PROMPT~ &WSyntax: prompt &WSyntax: &Bprompt all &WSyntax: &Bprompt <%*> &WPROMPT with out an argument will turn your prompt on or off. &WPROMPT ALL will give you the standard "<hits mana moves>" prompt. &WPROMPT <%*> where the %* are the various variables you may set yourself. &WExample: &BPROMPT <%hhp %mm %vmv> &WWill set your prompt to "&w<10hp 100m 100mv>&W" &BPrompt varables: &W%h : &YDisplay your current hits &W%H : &YDisplay your maximum hits &W%m : &YDisplay your current mana &W%M : &YDisplay your maximum mana &W%v : &YDisplay your current moves &W%V : &YDisplay your maximum moves &W%x : &YDisplay your current experience &W%X : &YDisplay experience needed to level &W%g : &YDisplay your gold held &W%a : &YDisplay your alignment &W%r : &YDisplay the room name you are in &W%% : &YDisplay a % &W%c : &YDisplay the olc editor you are in &W%C : &YDisplay the vnum you are currenlty editing &W%l : &YDisplay if you are wizinvis or not &W%d : &YDisplay if you are cloaked or not &W%R : &YDisplay the vnum you are in &R(IMMORTAL ONLY) &W%z : &YDisplay the area name you are in &R(IMMORTAL ONLY) &W%p : &YDisplay percentage of memory used &R(IMMORTAL ONLY) ~ 0 TITLE~ Syntax: title <string> Sets your title to a given string. The game supplies a title when your character is created and when you advance a level. You can use TITLE to set your title to something else. ~ 0 WIMPY~ Syntax: wimpy Syntax: wimpy <number> WIMPY sets your wimpy value. When your character takes damage that reduces your hit points below your wimpy value, you will automatically attempt to flee. WIMPY with no argument sets your wimpy value to 20% of your maximum hit points. Some monsters are wimpy. ~ 0 AUCTION CHAT . MUSIC QUESTION ANSWER SHOUT YELL~ Syntax: auction <message> Syntax: chat <message> Syntax: music <message> Syntax: question <message> Syntax: answer <message> Syntax: shout <message> Syntax: yell <message> These commands send messages through communication channels to other players. SHOUT sends a message to all awake players in the world. To curb excessive shouting, SHOUT imposes a three-second delay on the shouter. AUCTION, CHAT, MUSIC, and QUESTION and ANSWER also send messages to all interested players. '.' is a synonym for CHAT. The QUESTION and ANSWER commands both use the same 'question' channel. YELL sends a message to all awake players within your area. You can use the CHANNELS command to hear, or not hear, any of these channels. ~ 0 EMOTE , SOCIALS~ Syntax: emote <action> EMOTE is used to express emotions or actions. Besides EMOTE, there are several dozen built-in social commands, such as CACKLE, HUG, and THANK. ',' is a shortcut for emote. To see a list of actions, type SOCIALS. ~ 0 NOTE~ Syntax: note list Syntax: note read Syntax: note read <number> Syntax: note read all Syntax: note + <message> Syntax: note subject <string> Syntax: note to <to-list> Syntax: note clear Syntax: note send Syntax: note show Syntax: note post Syntax: note remove <number> Syntax: note write NOTE LIST lists notes which you can read. NOTE READ reads one or all notes. NOTE SUBJECT sets the subject line of a new note. NOTE TO sets the list of recipients. The recipient ALL means all players, and the recipient IMMORTAL means all immortals. Use NOTE + to write message lines onto the note, one line at a time. NOTE SHOW shows your note in progress; NOTE CLEAR starts over. NOTE POST or NOTE SEND posts your note for reading. Posting is not automatic. NOTE REMOVE removes the entire note if you are the sender, or just removes you from the to-list if you are a recipient. NOTE WRITE allows you to write your whole note without having to do your note line by line. You can write out the whole note and edit it in one editor. ~ 0 BRANDISH QUAFF RECITE ZAP~ Syntax: brandish Syntax: quaff <potion> Syntax: recite <scroll> <target> Syntax: zap <target> Syntax: zap BRANDISH brandishes a magical staff. QUAFF quaffs a magical potion (as opposed to DRINK, which drinks mundane liquids). RECITE recites a magical scroll; the <target> is optional, depending on the nature of the scroll. ZAP zaps a magical wand at a target. If the target is not specified, and you are fighting someone, then that character is used for a target. You must HOLD a wand or a staff before using BRANDISH or ZAP. All of these commands use up their objects. Potions and scrolls have a single charge. Wands and staves have multiple charges. When a magical object has no more charges, it will be consumed. ~ 0 OPEN CLOSE LOCK UNLOCK PICK 'PICK LOCK'~ Syntax: open <object|direction> Syntax: close <object|direction> Syntax: lock <object|direction> Syntax: unlock <object|direction> Syntax: pick <object|direction> OPEN and CLOSE open and close an object or a door. LOCK and UNLOCK lock and unlock a closed object or door. You must have the requisite key to LOCK or UNLOCK. PICK can open a lock without having the key. In order to PICK successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill. Also see BASH for warriors. ~ 0 DRINK~ &BSyntax: &Wdrink <object> Drinking is very &Pimportant &Win this game, if you do not perhaps you might die of &Pdehydration&W. Remember always keep you fluids up! ~ 0 SACRIFICE~ &BSyntax: &Wsacrifice <object> SACRIFICE offers an object to your God. God may &Preward &Wyou for the sacrifice. The nature of the reward &Pdepends &Wupon the type of object. &RHint:&W God likes corpses. ~ 0 FLEE~ &BSyntax: &Wflee Once you start a fight, you can't just walk away from it. If the fight is not going well, you can &Pattempt&W to FLEE. All this means is that instead of fighting, you turn tail and haul ass. Flee &Pdoes not always work&W and you will lose experience for succeeding or failing for showing such cowardice. ~ 0 BASH 'BASH DOOR'~ &BSyntax:&W bash <direction> A powerful warrior can attempt to &Pbypass&W the intricacies of unlocking and opening doors by simply BASHING through them. This, of course, tends to make the doors rather useless, which always amuses warriors. Be aware, however, that bashing is a fairly &Paggressive&W action, and some mobs don't take kindly to that type of behavior... ~ 0 CHAMELEON 'CHAMELEON POWER'~ &BSyntax: &Wchameleon With CHAMELEON POWER, a psionicist uses the power of his or her mind to &Pchange&W the appearance and coloration of his or her body, armor, and equipment to blend in with the surroundings. This skill is only effective if the psionicist remains &Pabsolutely still&W. ~ 0 FOLLOW GROUP~ &BSyntax: &Wfollow <character> &BSyntax: &Wgroup &BSyntax: &Wgroup <character> FOLLOW starts you following another character. To stop following anyone else, just FOLLOW <yourself>. GROUP <character> makes someone who is following you a member of your group. Group members share experience points from kills and may use the GTELL and SPLIT commands. If anyone in your group is attacked, you will automatically join the fight. 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. &RNOTE:&W You may FOLLOW and GROUP only with characters who are within five levels of your own. ~ 0 HEIGHTEN 'HEIGHTEN SENSES'~ &BSyntax: &Wheighten A psionicist is able to heighten there senses some times. When they do this, they have the ability to &Pdetect&W things that would otherwise go unnoticed. So in other words, they become more &Palert&W, etc. ~ 0 HIDE SNEAK VISIBLE~ &BSyntax: &WHIDE &BSyntax: &WSNEAK &BSyntax: &WVISIBLE The skill hide, is used by a lot of thieves. Many times they have to &Phide&W when a storekeeper (or someone else they robbed), is chasing after them calling for the police. If done properly most people &Pcannot see you&W. Sometimes you must also try to sneak out of a room when &Phiding&W. If you sneak &Pproperly&W, most people will not be able to see you and hear you when you leave. If you must become &Pvisible&W again, type visible and it &Pcancels&W you hiding and sneaking. It also cancels almost any invisibility routine. ~ 0 'POISON WEAPON'~ &BSyntax: &Wpoison <weapon> With this skill, a thief can create a &Pdeadly&W poison that can be poured onto any weapon, rendering it more deadly. This skill is not easy, however, because the poison itself requires &Pspecial ingredients&W, and the thief must be steady of hand and clear of mind. The profit-minded thief (is there any other kind?) might even think about selling the products of his or her labor to other adventurers for a tidy profit. &RCaution:&W The poison is highly corrosive and will damage your weapon in due time. Special blades may be more resistant to the poison effects on the steel. ~ 0 PRACTICE~ &BSyntax: &WPRACTICE &BSyntax: &WPRACTICE <skill|spell> PRACTICE without an argument tells you your current ability level in all the skills and spells available to you. You can check this anywhere. PRACTICE with an argument practices that skill or spell. Your learning percentage varies from 0% (unlearned) to a some maximum between 80% and 100%, depending on your class. You must be at a &PGUILDMASTER &Wto practice. The higher your &Pintelligence&W, the more you will learn at each practice session. The higher your &Pwisdom&W, the more practice sessions you will have each time you gain a level. Unused sessions are saved until you do use them. ~ 0 QUIT RENT SAVE~ &BSyntax:&W QUIT &BSyntax:&W SAVE SAVE saves your character and objects. You must be at least second level to save. The game will &Pauto-save&W your character every few minutes whether you save or not. &RNOTE: &WSome objects, such as keys and objects of higher level than you, may not be saved. QUIT leaves the game. You may QUIT anywhere. When you return to the game, you will find yourself in the room you last quit in. QUIT automatically does a SAVE, so you can &Psafely &Wleave the game with just one command. Nevertheless it's a good idea to SAVE before QUIT. If you get into the habit of using QUIT without SAVE, and then you play some other mud that doesn't save before quitting, you're going to &Pregret &Wit &RNOTE: &WThere is no RENT on this MUD. Just SAVE and QUIT whenever you want to leave. ~ 0 RECALL 'RECITE RECALL'~ Syntax: RECALL Syntax: RECITE RECALL RECALL prays to God for miraculous transportation from where you are back to your Temple. RECITE RECALL works only when you have a scroll of recall, and you must have practiced the appropriate skill for scrolls. If you RECALL during combat, you will lose experience (more than for fleeing), and you will have a chance of failing (again, more than for fleeing). RECALL costs half of your movement points. RECALL doesn't work in certain God-forsaken rooms. Characters afflicted by a curse will not recall at all. ~ 0 SHADOW 'SHADOW FORM'~ Syntax: shadow A psionicist can use his or her mind power to blend in with the shadows while moving, having the same effect as the thief skill SNEAK. See also VISIBLE. ~ 0 SPELLS~ Syntax: spells This command shows the spell caster how much mana each spell he or she knows will cost. For a list of ALL available spells for your class, type SLIST. ~ 0 SPLIT~ Syntax: SPLIT <amount> SPLIT splits some gold between you and all the members of your group who are in the same room as you. It's customary to SPLIT the gold after a kill. ~ 0 STEAL~ &BSyntax:&W STEAL coins <character> &BSyntax:&W STEAL <object> <character> Steal is the one skill that &Pdefines&W a person as a thief. If you are a thief most of your life revolves around this skill. Thieves would much rather &Ptake&W something from someone else, rather than earn it. But what can you say? They are thieves. &RBeware: &WThere are penalties for using steal on other players. ~ 0 TRAIN~ Syntax: train <'str'|'int'|'wis'|'dex'|'con'|'hp'|'mana'|'move'> TRAIN increases one of your attributes. When you start the game, your character has standard attributes based on your class, and several initial practice sessions. You can increase your attributes by using these practice sessions at a TRAINER (there are several in town). It costs five practice to train an attribute, except that it costs only three practice to train your prime attribute. You may also train your hitpoints, mana points, and movement points. Each of these costs one practice session and gives a somewhat unpredictable gain. The best attributes to train first are WIS and CON. WIS gives you more practice when you gain a level. CON gives you more hit points. In the long run, your character will be most powerful if you train WIS and CON both to 18 before practising or training anything else. ~ 0 WHERE~ Syntax: where Syntax: where <character> WHERE without an argument tells you the location of visible players in the same area as you are. WHERE with an argument tells you the location of one character with that name within your area, including monsters. ~ 54 ADVANCE~ Syntax: advance <character> <level> ADVANCE sets a character's level to the specified value. It is the only way to create new immortal characters within the game. ADVANCE may also be used to demote characters. ~ 54 TRUST~ Syntax: trust <character> <level> TRUST sets a character's trust to the specified level. This is similar to advancing the character for accessing immortal commands, but has no effect on combat strength, etc. You can give more trust to mortal (or immortal) characters to give them access to more power without messing up the character. You can also restrict a player's trust to less than their natural level. A trust of 0 means to use the character's natural level again. ~ 53 ALLOW BAN~ Syntax: allow <site> Syntax: ban <site> Syntax: ban BAN <site> prohibits players from that site from logging in. BAN with no arguments lists the banned sites. ALLOW <site> removes a site from the ban list. The site ban test works by suffix comparison, so if you ban 'foo.edu', all sites within 'foo.edu' are banned as well. Site bans are not saved; every time the server is rebooted, the site ban list is cleared. ~ 52 REBOOT SHUTDOWN WIZLOCK NEWLOCK NUMLOCK~ Syntax: reboot Syntax: shutdown Syntax: wizlock Syntax: numlock <number> Syntax: newlock REBOOT shuts down the server. When the normal 'startup' script is used to control the server, a delay of sixty seconds will ensue (to allow old connections to die), followed by a reboot. SHUTDOWN shuts down the server and prevents the normal 'startup' script from restarting it. WIZLOCK is a toggle command. When the server is WIZLOCKed, players below level immortal without a special bit set may not log in. Players who lose their links, however, may reconnect. NUMLOCK shows at which character level and below may not log in. NUMLOCK <number> sets which character level and below MAY NOT log in. Players level immortal and above with a special bit set MAY log in. Players who lose their links, however, may reconnect. NEWLOCK is a shortcut to NUMLOCK 1. NEWLOCK will turn on numlock but not turn off if currently set. ~ 53 DENY DISCONNECT FREEZE~ Syntax: deny <character> Syntax: disconnect <character> Syntax: freeze <character> DENY denies access to a particular player and throws them out of the game. DENY is permanent (persists across reboots) and is not undoable from within the game. Only someone with access to the player files directory may repeal a DENY by editing the appropriate player file. DISCONNECT <character> immediately disconnects that character. FREEZE <character> is a toggle which prevents a character from issuing any commands at all. ~ 53 FORCE~ Syntax: force <character> <command> Syntax: force all <command> FORCE forces one character to execute a command. FORCE 'all' forces all player characters to execute a command. This is typically used for 'force all save'. ~ 52 LOG SNOOP~ Syntax: log <character> Syntax: log all Syntax: snoop <character> LOG <character> causes all of a character's commands to be logged into the server's log file. Like FREEZE, it is a permanent character toggle. Certain commands (PASSWORD) are protected against LOG. Conversely, certain commands (especially immortal commands) are always logged. LOG ALL logs all character commands. It is a server-wide toggle; it does not persist across reboots. SNOOP shows you a copy of all the input and output going to a character. The character must have an open channel. You may snoop more than one character at a time. SNOOP yourself to cancel all outstanding snoops. ~ 52 MSET OSET RSET SSET~ Syntax: mset <character> <field> <value> Syntax: oset <object> <field> <value> Syntax: rset <location> <field> <value> Syntax: sset <character> <skill> <value> Syntax: sset <character> all <value> MSET, OSET, and RSET set the properties of mobiles, objects, and rooms, respectively. SSET sets a skill or spell level on a PC. Do NOT sset all on an immortal (including yourself) or that person will immediately lose all immortal abilities. There is currently no way to enter more than one line of text for a string-valued option. In this case, MSET <character> description is not supported. ~ 53 NOEMOTE NOTELL SILENCE~ Syntax: noemote <character> Syntax: notell <character> Syntax: silence <character> NOEMOTE, NOTELL, and SILENCE are used to muffle other characters, by preventing them from emoting, telling, and using channels, respectively. Characters who are no'telled will also not receive those forms of communication. ~ 52 MLOAD OLOAD~ Syntax: mload <vnum> Syntax: oload <vnum> MLOAD loads a mobile given its vnum (virtual number). The vnum's are just the #NNNN numbers that appear in world.obj. OLOAD loads an object given its vnum. ~ 53 PARDON~ Syntax: pardon <character> killer Syntax: pardon <character> thief PARDON pardons a player for their crimes. ~ 53 PURGE~ Syntax: purge Syntax: purge <character> PURGE is used to clean up the world. PURGE with no arguments removes all the NPC's and objects in the current room. PURGE with an argument purges one character from anywhere in the world. PURGE will not get rid of PC's. ~ 53 RESTORE~ Syntax: restore <character> RESTORE restores full hit points, mana points, and movement points to the target character. ~ 54 SSTIME~ Syntax: sstime Syntax: sstime <field> <value> This Directorship command sets the time of the warnings of shutdown and the shutdown time. SSTIME without an argument shows the time at which the fields are set. ~ 53 SLAY~ Syntax: slay <character> SLAY kills a character in cold blood, no saving throw. SLAY bypasses auto actions such as AUTOLOOT and AUTOSAC. ~ 53 TRANSFER~ Syntax: transfer <character> Syntax: transfer all Syntax: transfer <character> <location> Syntax: transfer all <location> TRANSFER transfers the target character, or ALL player characters, to your current location (default) or to a specified location. ~ 53 USERS~ Syntax: users USERS reports all of the visible users connected to the server, including users in the process of logging in. The two numbers inside brackets are the channel number and the 'connected' state. The 'connected' states are listed in merc.h: 0 is CON_PLAYING; non-zero values are various states of logging in. ~ 53 WIZIFY~ Syntax: wizify <character> WIZIFY toggles the wizbit flag of a character. This enables the wizified character to enter the game despite a WIZLOCK. ~ 52 ECHO RECHO~ Syntax: echo <message> Syntax: recho <message> ECHO sends a message to all players in the game, without any prefix indicating who sent it. RECHO sends a message to all players in your room, without any prefix indicating who sent it. ~ 52 MEMORY~ Syntax: memory MEMORY reports the size of your mud. The 'Mobs' and 'Objs' lines report the number of types of mobiles and objects, not the number of instances currently in the game. The 'Strings' line shows memory used by area-file strings. These strings have a maximum limit, which is also shown. The 'Perms' line shows permanently allocated memory blocks. There is no limit on the number and size of these blocks. ~ 52 MFIND OFIND~ Syntax: mfind <name> Syntax: ofind <name> MFIND finds all mobile types with a particular name. OFIND finds all object types with a particular name. ~ 52 MSTAT OSTAT RSTAT~ Syntax: mstat <character> Syntax: ostat <object> Syntax: rstat <location> Syntax: rstat MSTAT shows you statistics on a character. OSTAT shows you statistics on an object. RSTAT shows you statistics on a location. The location may be specified as a vnum, as the name of a mobile, or as the name of an object. ~ 52 OWHERE~ Syntax: owhere <object> OWHERE shows you the locations of all objects with a perticular name. ~ 52 MWHERE~ Syntax: mwhere <name> MWHERE shows you the locations of all mobiles with a particular name. ~ 52 PEACE~ Syntax: peace PEACE causes all characters and mobiles in a room to stop fighting. ~ 52 SLOOKUP~ Syntax: slookup <skill-or-spell> Syntax: slookup all SLOOKUP shows you the internal 'sn' and external 'slot' for the given skill or spell. The 'sn' is used for OSET and OSTAT. The 'slot' is used for area files. Neither 'sn' nor 'slot' is used for player files; these operate with the actual skill and spell names. SLOOKUP ALL shows this information for all skills and spells. ~ 52 SWITCH RETURN~ Syntax: switch <character> Syntax: return SWITCH switches you into the body of another character (who must not already have a descriptor, e.g. you can't switch into a PC). RETURN returns you to your original body. ~ 51 AT~ Syntax: at <location> <command> AT executes the given command (which may have arguments) at the given location. The location may be specified as a vnum, as the name of a mobile, or as the name of an object. AT works by temporarily moving you to that location, executing the command, and then moving you back (if the command didn't change your location). Thus, AT will not work to private locations. ~ 51 BAMFIN BAMFOUT~ Syntax: bamfin Syntax: bamfin <message> Syntax: bamfout Syntax: bamfout <message> The standard messages for GOTO are 'arrives in a swirling mist' and 'leaves in a swirling mist'. You can replace these messages with messages of your own choosing using the BAMFIN and BAMFOUT commands. Without arguments, these reset the messages to their defaults. ~ 51 GOTO~ Syntax: goto <location> GOTO takes you to a location. The location may be specified as a vnum, as the name of a mobile, or as the name of an object. You may not GOTO a room if it is PRIVATE and has two (or more) characters already present, or if it is SOLITARY and has one (or more) characters already present. ~ 51 HOLYLIGHT WIZINVIS~ Syntax: holylight Syntax: wizinvis HOLYLIGHT is a toggle that allows you to see (almost) every character and mobile in the game. With holy light, you can see what's in the game more easily. Without holy light, you can see what mortal players see. WIZINVIS is a toggle which makes you completely invisible to all player characters of lower level than you, and to all mobiles. HOLYLIGHT will not allow you to see immortal WIZINVIS characters who are higher level than you. ~ 50 IMMTALK :~ Syntax: immtalk <message> IMMTALK sends a message to all immortals. ':' is a synonym for IMMTALK. ~ 0 'BURNING HANDS' 'COLOUR SPRAY' 'LIGHTNING BOLT'~ Syntax: cast 'acid blast' <victim> Syntax: cast 'burning hands' <victim> Syntax: cast 'colour spray' <victim> Syntax: cast 'fireball' <victim> Syntax: cast 'lightning bolt' <victim> Syntax: cast 'magic missile' <victim> Syntax: cast 'shocking grasp' <victim> These spells inflict damage on the victim. The higher-level spells do more damage. ~ 0 ARMOR~ &BSyntax: &Wcast armor <character> Armor is said to be a spell which deals with &Pmatter&W. It is rumored that when this spell is cast upon your armor, it reinforces it. Thus making you &Pmore invulnerable&W to your enemies attacks. ~ 0 BLESS~ Syntax: cast bless <character> This spell improves the to-hit roll and saving throw versus spell of the target character by +1 each. ~ 0 BLIND BLINDNESS~ Syntax: cast blindness <victim> This spell renders the target character blind. ~ 0 'CALL LIGHTNING'~ Syntax: cast 'call lightning' This spell works only out of doors, and only when the weather is bad.

Guess what they do? ~ 0 GUILD~ The GUILD is the place where adventurers can go to relax, have a few drinks, tell a few tales, and in general blow off steam. Each player class has its own guild, into which other classes cannot set foot. Each guild is run by a GUILDMASTER, who is fully versed in all of the skills of their class, and can teach them to worthy students. ~ 0 GUILDMASTER~ All GUILDMASTERS are fully versed in the skills of their class, and players can PRACTICE all of their available skills and spells in the presence of their GUILDMASTER. ~ 0 TRAINER~ TRAINERs can provide extensive training sessions which enable players to TRAIN their base statistics. ~ -1 WAR WARRIOR~ The WARRIOR class is the most basic fighting class available. Their battle training along with high strength and high hit points make them very formidable in hand to hand combat. WARRIORs train in the art of multiple attacks. Some master the art of a SECOND ATTACK and if experienced enough, master a THIRD ATTACK. Along with this training in multiple attacks, a WARRIOR is trained in making each hit count. ENHANCED DAMAGE is available to only the learned. Toward the defense side of the WARRIOR, skills of PARRY, RESCUE and BASH DOOR allow the WARRIOR to ward off attacks, rush to the aid of fellow comrades, and open doors rather barbarically. ~ -1 CLE CLERIC~ The CLERIC class is a 'spellcasting' class devoted primarily toward defense. A deity gives the CLERIC spells in the curing, warding, and protection divinities. CLERICs being of a defensive nature fare poorly in the art of mortal combat. They much prefer to be civil servants to society or doctors to their comrades in arms. ~ -1 MAG MAGE MAGIC MAGIC-USER 'MAGIC USER'~ The MAGE class is a 'spellcasting' class devoted primarily toward control over the elements. The universe contains an unmeasured power the MAGE taps into to influence the world. MAGE spells are devoted to the invoking, hermetic, and combative nature. MAGEs fare a little better than their CLERIC counterparts in hand-to-hand combat though they much prefer to stand back and roast their enemies with a FIREBALL. ~ -1 THI THIEF~ The THIEF class can be characterized as a WARRIOR who dropped out of school to pursue more "profitable" means of living. These wirey persons have physical endurance slightly less than that of a WARRIOR but are much more agile. Whereas a WARRIOR uses well placed weapon slashes, a THIEF seeks to DISARM his opponent. THIEVES also excel in the art of stealth. An unwary opponent might not detect a THIEF until a BACKSTAB is attempted. To achieve success in this, the skills SNEAK and HIDE are learned. With a THIEF's PICK LOCK and POISON WEAPON skill, a THIEF also makes the perfect assassin for political powerhouses. ~ -1 PSI PSIONISIST~ The PSIONISIST class is a 'spellcasting' class similar to Mages and Clerics, but with several important differences. Where a Mage's power comes from harnessing external energies present in all matter, and a Cleric's comes from his or her deity, the Psionisist derives all of his or her power from within. The Psionisist harnesses, shapes, and utilizes the natural forces which infuse his or her own being. As a result, many of the devotions that a Psionisist can practice are strictly personal in effect, and cannot be used on other players. Disclaimer: Psionisist class was originally developed by Thelonius (EnvyMud) from 'The Complete Psionics Handbook' by Steve Winter, published by TSR, Inc. Skills and spells described therein will be quite similar to those here, though the interpretation has been changed to coincide with a MERC DIKU MUD. Questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome. ~ 0 GHOST~ When traveling in the night, beware of GHOSTS. Fortunately, sunlight is a bane for these representatives of the dead. ~ 0 'ADRENALINE CONTROL'~ Syntax: cast 'adrenaline control' By controlling the production and release of adrenaline in his or her system, the psionicist can gain temporary boosts in dexterity and constitution. This control cannot be initiated during battle because, hey, even psionicists get a little excited from time to time. ~ 0 AGITATION~ Syntax: cast 'agitation' <character> This skill is nearly identical to the Mage spell BURNING HANDS. With this skill, a psionicist can cause the cells in his or her victim to become agitated, moving so fast as to cause burn damage. ~ 0 AWE~ Syntax: cast 'awe' <character> With this discipline, a skilled psionicist can use the power of his or her mind to affect the morale of an opponent. If successful, the enemy will be overcome by awe for the psionicist, and will simply forget to fight. Of course, aggressive monsters will revert to their true nature after only a brief lull in the action. ~ 0 'BALLISTIC ATTACK'~ Syntax: cast 'ballistic attack' <character> BALLISTIC ATTACK lets a psionicist use the powers of his or her mind to throw small objects, usually a rock or other debris that happens to be in the area, at the target. The results can be rather amusing to the psionicist, and painful to the victim. ~ 0 'BIOFEEDBACK'~ Syntax: cast 'biofeedback' BIOFEEDBACK is the power with which a psionicist controls the flow of blood through his or her body. This control allows the psionicist to reduce bleeding, as well as cushion blows against him or her, effectively reducing the damage by half. Mind over body indeed... ~ 0 'CELL ADJUSTMENT'~ Syntax: cast 'cell adjustment' A skilled psionicist can also perform CELL ADJUSTMENT, which can remove both curses and poisons from his or her body. ~ 0 'COMBAT MIND'~ Syntax: cast 'combat mind' A psionicist using COMBAT MIND has a very keen understanding of his or her enemies and their fighting tactics. As a result, the psionicist has an increased chance of hitting his or her enemies, and knows how to minimize the damage received from their blows. Because psionicists are telepathinc, this knowledge can also be shared with the his or her companions. ~ 0 'CONTROL FLAMES'~ Syntax: cast 'control flames' <character> With this skill, a psionicist can will the flames in his or her light source to leap out and strike an enemy. And if you don't think your light source uses a flame, well, you're wrong. You just aren't looking close enough. ~ 0 'DEATH FIELD'~ Syntax: cast 'death field' A DEATH FIELD is a life-sapping region of negative energy. Only psionicists of evil alignment can use this power without suffering repurcussions. The death field moves out from the psionicist and envelops every character in the room. Because player characters have souls, they are immune to its deadly touch, but all mobiles are susceptible to it. Should the saving throw fail, the mobile will immediately die. If the mobile is of a sufficently different level than the psionicist, they will shrug off the attack and only take minor damage. ~ 0 'DETONATE' 'DISINTEGRATE'~ Syntax: cast 'detonate' <character> Syntax: cast 'disintegrate' <character> With both of these skills, a psionocist uses his or her mind to affect the latent energy inside inanimate objects. If these objects are close enough to the intended victim, they can cause great damage. For this reason, most psionocists choose the victim itself as the target, since there's bound to be SOMETHING dead on it, sooner or later. Mid-level psionicists can DETONATE objects on their victim, and extremely skilled psionicists can even DISINTEGRATE their victims, killing them instantly. ~ 0 'THOUGHT SHIELD' 'MENTAL BARRIER' 'DISPLACEMENT' 'FLESH ARMOR' 'INTELLECT FORTRESS' 'INERTIAL BARRIER'~ Syntax: cast 'thought shield' Syntax: cast 'mental barrier' Syntax: cast 'displacement' Syntax: cast 'flesh armor' Syntax: cast 'intellect fortress' Syntax: cast 'inertial barrier' These are protective disciplines which a psionicist can exercise. THOUGHT SHIELD and MENTAL BARRIER create damage-absorbing shields held in place by the psionicist's will. DISPLACEMENT makes the psionicist appear to be displaced from his or her actual position, thus making him or her more difficult to hit. With the FLESH ARMOR devotion, a psionicist can harden his or her skin into an armor-like substance.

As with CHARM, the actions of dominated characters affect the status of the dominator; don't whine if you get a KILLER flag. ~ 0 'EGO WHIP'~ Syntax: cast 'ego whip' <character> Because a psionicist understands the inner workings of the mind so well, he or she can attempt to EGO WHIP a victim, making them less confident by bringing up bad childhood memories, embarrassing moments, and failures. This lack of confidence can significantly reduce their battle effectiveness. ~ 0 'ENERGY CONTAINMENT'~ Syntax: cast 'energy containment' By using ENERGY CONTAINMENT, a psionicist can absorb many forms of energy without damage. As the psionicist gains experience, this skill improves. ~ 0 'ENHANCE ARMOR'~ Syntax: cast 'enhance armor' <object> With this devotion, a psionicist can change the molecular makeup of objects, making them stronger and more durable.

The devotions are listed in increasing order of damage inflicted. ~ 0 'LEND HEALTH'~ Syntax: cast 'lend health' <character> A psionicist can LEND HEALTH to a companion in need, but only at his or her own expense.

This includes transferring/summoning them to aggressive mobs. 2) Do not cheat for ANY mortal in ANY way, especially your own. Unless of course you LIKE deletion. Yes this includes tanking, healing/restoring, casting protection spells <armor, sanct>, and softening up or altering mobs. 3) Do not transfer or summon mobs to mortals or mortals to mobs. They have legs, if they want to kill a mob, they can easilly go there themselves. 4) DO NOT kill the shopkeepers for any reason at ALL. 5) DO NOT use reboot. <--- Note, simple English. 6) Do not give out free equipment. You don't need to win brownie points with the mortals. Quest are fine but handing out items isn't. 7) A note on quests: Quests are a good thing, more or less, BUT do not give out overly extravagant prizes. Exercise some common sense here folks. Do not load items more than 4 levels below their normal level (i.e. no level 5 ogre gauntlets). 8) Do not undermine the authority of a higher level god. If you see that someone has been frozen or nochannelled do not restore their priveleges. They are being punished for a reason. 9) Do not try to overrule each other. 10) Trusted mortals: Do not use your god powers to help your mortal character. If you do, your trust will be taken away. ~ -1 PUFF~ No plain fanfold paper could hold that fractal Puff -- He grew so fast no plotting pack could shrink him far enough. Compiles and simulations grew so quickly tame And swapped out all their data space when Puff pushed his stack frame. CHORUS: Puff the fractal dragon was written in C, And frolicked while processes switched in mainframe memory. Puff the fractal dragon was written in C, And frolicked while processes switched in mainframe memory. Puff, he grew so quickly, while others moved like snails And mini-Puffs would perch themselves on his gigantic tail. All the student hackers loved that fractal Puff But DCS did not like Puff, and finally said, "Enough!" (chorus) Puff used more resources than DCS could spare. The operator killed Puff's job -- he didn't seem to care. A gloom fell on the hackers; it seemed to be the end, But Puff trapped the exception, and grew from naught again! (chorus) ~ -1 RULES~ These are the rules of EOS. For other matters, use commom sense. * foul and/or abusive language will not be tolerated on EoS, from anyone (including gods). Punishments range from deletion to NOCHANNELing. * sexual harassment of any form will not be tolerated, punishable by deletion * your presence here is a privilige not a right * no multiple logins, multiple playing, or helping your own characters with other characters you own -- by any arrangment. * no kill stealing. This means you cannot attack a mob someone else is fighting, unless they ask you to. Also avoid attacking fleeing mobs. * cheating will not be tolerated. This includes accepting favors from gods and exploiting bugs. If you find a bug, report it, then do not use it. You risk deletion should you be caught. * Absolutely NO summonsing any mobs to Bethaven or Ravenwood. I do NOT wish newbies jeopardized. There's plenty of room outside those towns, use them. ~ -1 NEWS~ EOSII NEWS 4/20/96 - EOSII returns 4/28/96 - EOSII is officially open to the public! 8/96 - Added the races Ghoul and Illithid 8/96 - Added the classes Necromancer and Werewolf More new exciting changes in the works! Thalador ~ -1 STORY~ In the beginning, the earth was... oh too far back. *crumbles up help file and throws it away* ~ 0 DELETE~ Use the delete command to erase unwanted characters, so the name will be available for use. This command must be typed twice to delete a character, and you cannot be forced to delete. Typing delete with an argument will return your character to 'safe' status if you change your mind after the first delete. ~ 51 CLONE~ Syntax: clone obj <object> clone mob <mobile> clone <name> The clone command duplicates an object or mobile. The level of item or mobile that may be cloned depends on your level. The target object or mob must be in the same room as you, or in your posession. Strung and set information is preserved by clone, as well as any spell effects and container contents or mobile inventory, except for items which are too high for you to clone. Strung extended descriptions on objects are not kept, however. ~ 0 SKILLS SPELLS~ The spells command is used to display your character's list of available skills and spells. Slist will also show you all skills and spells available to your character. Skills and spells are listed showing amount of pts (points) it costs for each particular one, when you type spells. ~ 0 OUTFIT~ The outfit command, usable by levels 5 and below, equips your character with a new set of sub issue gear (banner, weapon, helmet, shield, and vest), courtesy of the Mayor's warehouses. Only empty equipment slots are affected. ~ 0 AUTO AUTOLIST AUTOLOOT AUTOGOLD AUTOSAC AUTOEXIT AUTOASSIST AUTOSPLIT~ ROM uses varies automatic actions, to ease the boredom of always splitting gold and sacrificing corpses.

It also displays the highest number observed that day, if it is higher. ~ 101 HEDIT~ Command: % hedit <name> % hedit create <name> asave 0 to save help files ~ 105 ARGLIST~ The mobprog arglist changes from type to type. For most types it is a percentage (1-100), and on others it is keywords or an ammount. I.e., for the hit_prcnt_prog, it's a percentage.. namely if the arglist is 30, then when the mobs hp is at 30% or less of max, then the prog is triggered. For give_prog, the arglist is all the keywords of the object to trigger that program when the object is given to the mob. And for all_greet_prog, arglist is a percentage, 100 will make the prog run whenever anyone enters the room (excluding invis imms). ~ 105 INEWS~ Numerous commands have been added. Note: vused wrlist mpedit hedit restrict ~ 106 RESTRICT~ Syntax: restrict [commandname] [level] Syntax: restrict [commandname] log [logtype] Commandname is the name of the command you wish to change the level or logtype of, you can use shortforms of commands giving there aren't any other commands with those sames letters or you may not get the one you wish. :) Logtype is the type of logging you wish a command to have, type restrict by itself for quick syntax and the logtypes. Also, it is possible to type: restrict all [firstcmd#] [secondcmd#] for a listing of commands and the levels which they are currently at. Firstcmd# is the first command you wish to list from, and secondcmd# is the number of the command you wish to list to. ~ 101 WRLIST~ Syntax: wrlist [type(r/o/m/p)] [lvnum] [uvnum] Wrlist lists the vnums and names of the items in those vnums. You can list room vnums and their names with r, objects with o, and mobs with m. When listing rooms, it also shows you the resets in each room. Lvnum is the beginning vnum you wish to list from, and uvnum is the ending vnum. Note, with m, if the mob has mobprogs, it will list each of the different types of mobprogs the mob has. P will list all the mobs with mobprogs within the range. It will show the full mobprog: type, arglist, AND comlist, unlike with m. When checking for progs (p) using wrlist, please only use a maximum vnum range of about 25 at a time, or the Mud will crash due to spamming. ~ 106 VUSED~ Vused simply lists all the blocks of vnums which have been created to date. The last line it shows tells you just how many free vnums there are. :) ~ 105 VARIABLES~ Here is a list of variables that can possibly be used in most mobprog commands , etc. $i the name of the mob being triggered $I the mobs short description $n the name of the mob/pc triggering the mobprog $N the short description of the person triggering the mobprog if it is a mob, or the name of the trigger person plus their title if it is a pc $t the name of the victim $T the same as $N except for the victim $r the name of a pc/npc taken from random in the room $R the same as $N except the random person is used $e returns he/she/it according to the sex of the trigger person $m returns him/her/it according to the sex of the trigger person $s returns his/her/its according to the sex of the trigger person $E same as $e except for victim $M same as $m except for victim $S same as $s except for victim $j returns he/she/it for t $k returns him/her/its for t $l returns his/her/its for t $J returns he/she/it for the random char $K returns him/her/it for the random char $L returns his/hers/its for the random char $o returns the name of an object $O returns the short description of an object $p returns the name of a secondary object $P returns the short description of a secondary object $a returns a/an according to the first letter of an objects name $A returns a/an according to the first letter of a secondary objects name ~ 101 SPEC~ {MEdit Command} syntax: spec spec_xxx spec_breath_acid: Acid breath attack. spec_breath_frost: Ice breath attack. spec_breath_gas: Gas breath attack. spec_breath_fire: Fire breath attack. spec_breath_lightning: Lightning breath attack. spec_breath_any: All breath attacks above. cast_adept: Mob hits target more frequently. cast_cleric: Mob uses selected Cleric spells. cast_mage: Mob uses selected Mage spells. cast_undead: Mob uses chill touch, weaken and curse spells. cast_ghost: Mob uses selected spells (Cleric) and dies in sunlight. cast_judge: Mob uses the 'high explosives' spell. cast_psionicist: Mob uses selected Psi spells (including Disintegrate!). spec_executioner: Mob will auto-attack player with Thief or Killer flag. spec_fido: Mob devours npc-corpses. spec_guard: Depending on alignment, mob helps fight player or other mob. spec_janitor: Mob will scavenge the area for items (with take-flag). spec_mayor: Mob will walk a hardcoded route.

Good for players who are new to MUD games in general. &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ -1 ELF~ &z_____________________________________________________________________________ &wSpawned of the fairy folk, elvenkin have commonly been known as some of the strongest sorcerers in the realms. Born with an above average intelligence most elves live far beyond the life expectances of their fellow creatures of the storm. At home in the forests, close to where their magic lay strongest, elves can tap into the very source of their magical energy, allowing them to regain their inner pools of magic twice as fast. Though, long living, those of the elven race tend not to have a below average stamina when it comes down to physical fights. &W &WSize&w: MEDIUM &WRacial Abilities&w: &z*&w Infravision. &z*&w Spells cost them only 75% of the normal cost. &z*&w Elves regenerate mana twice as fast as normal. &WStat Modifications&w: &CInt: &w+1, &CCon: &w-1 &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ -1 DWARF DWA~ &z_____________________________________________________________________________ &wTaunted by other races for their unnaturally small height, dwarves prefer to live alone in the sanctuaries of their mountain caves. Very stocky by nature, dwarves make excellent fighters, with their high stamina and natural resistance to magical attacks, but as an average they lack the intellect pocessed by many of the other races throughout the lands. &W &WSize&w: SMALL &WRacial Abilities&w: &z*&w Infravision. &z*&w +25% added to their save vs spell. &z*&w Highest maximum of saving over other races. &z*&R Forge&w: Allows a dwarf to forge specific equipment. &WStat Modifications&w: &CCon: &w+2, &CInt: &w-2 &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ -1 PIXIE PIX~ &z_____________________________________________________________________________ &wBeing very dextrous, pixies are great thieves. They seem to lose out in matches of physical strength, though. &W &WSize&w: SMALL &WRacial Abilities&w: &z*&w Pixies naturally have the 'fly' spell on at all times. &z*&w Pixies do not use movement points. &z*&w Can't be tripped due to their flying abilities. &WStat Modifications&w: Dex: +2, Str: -2 &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ -1 HALFLING HLF~ &z_____________________________________________________________________________ &wOf a height similar to those known as dwarves, halflings, often also called hobbits, are a small, fun loving race of people. Due to their tiny size and naturally shod feet, protected beneath by patches of thick, short hair, halflings are quick and light on their feet. Even the slowest of these creatures can sneak up behind you without you even noticing, a trait these creatures have learned in order to survive would-be attackers. Prefering to hide away in their homes and stay out of sight or contact with any other races while abroad, halflings generally don't accumulate the level of wisdom found in the rest of the lands' races. &W &WSize&w: SMALL &WRacial Abilities&w: &z*&w Being light in their step, a halfling is always sneaking. &z*&w Their small stature keeps them from being detected. (Halflings can not be seen via the 'where' command.) &z*&w Curious in nature and quick in sight, halflings can use the 'peek' skill as well as any thief. &WStat Modifications&w: &CDex: &w+2, &CWis: &w-2 &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ -1 DROW DRW~ &z_____________________________________________________________________________ &wThe drow are a weaker race, but make up for their loss with their speed. The drow are good for thieves. &W &WSize&w: MEDIUM &WRacial Abilities&w: &z*&w Infravision. &z*&R Drow Fire&w: Improved Faerie Fire & Incinerate skill attack. &z*&R Globe of Darkness&w: Creatures of the dark, members of the drow race are able to cloak their surrounding area in completely darkness, cancelling the effects of any nearby lanterns of spells of magical sight. &WStat Modifications&w: &CDex: &w+1, &CStr: &w-1 &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ -1 ELDER ELD~ &z_____________________________________________________________________________ &wNearly as ancient as the immortals themselves, these beings, commonly referred to as elders, hold a place of high respect among the realms of the storm. They often spend their entire life wandering throughout the lands, spreading their near infinate wisdom to those they meet and are constantly seeking new knowledge. &W &WSize&w: MAN-SIZE &WRacial Abilities&w: &z*&w Elders do not use movement. (They are never too tired to move) &z*&w They naturally 'levitate' in the air at all times. &z*&w Due to their floating nature, they cannot be tripped in combat. &z*&w Spells cost 75% of the normal spell cost. &z*&w Elders regenerate mana twice as fast as normal. &WStat Modifications&w: &CWis: &w+3, &CStr: &w-3 &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ -1 OGRE OGR~ &z_____________________________________________________________________________ &wThese lumbering brutes, although not smart, have great strength, and usually end up becoming the warriors of the Storm. &W &WSize&w: LARGE &WRacial Abilities&w: &z*&w Ogres naturally have a shield to reduce damage by 1/20th. &z*&w Natural form of enhanced damage. (+1 damage per 10 damage done) &WStat Modifications&w: Str: +3, Int: -3 &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ -1 LIZARDMAN LIZ~ &z_____________________________________________________________________________ &wA race with lots of hitpoints, Lizardmen make good fighters. Their offset to the hitpoints is their lack of speed. &W &WSize&w: MAN-SIZE &WRacial Abilities&w: &z*&w Lizardmen don't use movement points. (They never tire of walking) &z*&R Spit&w: Utilizing the acidic fluids beneath their tongues, lizardmen are able to excrete a harmful venom often causing temporary blindness or inability to form the words necessary for casting. &WStat Modifications&w: &CCon: &w+2, &CDex: &w-2 &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ -1 DEMON DEM~ &z_____________________________________________________________________________ &wBy far the race with the most hitpoints, demons are some of the best warriors in the game. Their major downfall is their lack of wisdom. &W &WSize&w: LARGE &WRacial Abilities&w: &z*&w Detect Invisibility. &z*&w Detect Hidden. &z*&w Infravision. &WStat Modifications&w: Con: +4, Wis: -4 &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ 101 MPSTAT~ Syntax: mpstat <mobname> This command gives some general stats on <mobname> and then lists all of the mobprograms which are currently assigned to it. ~ 105 MPASOUND~ Syntax: mpasound $? message This command echos a message to all the characters in the rooms surrounding the room in which $? is in.

This command must be used instead of purge if the mob needs to purge something. ~ 105 MPGOTO~ Syntax: mpgoto vnum This command works exactly the same as the imm command goto. ~ 105 MPAT~ Syntax: mpat vnum commandstring This command works exactly the same as the imm command 'AT'. ~ 105 MPTRANSFER~ Syntax: mptransfer <mob/playername> [vnum] Syntax: mptransfer all <vnum> This command works exactly the same as the imm command transfer, except that 'mptransfer all' will only affect the characters in the room with the mob which has the mobprog. ~ 105 MPFORCE~ Syntax: mpforce <$?> <commandstring> This command works exactly the same as the imm command force. ~ 105 MPTELEPORT~ Syntax: mpteleport This will cause the mob to teleport to another room within the same area. ~ 105 MPCOMMANDS~ Syntax: mpcommands This command will list all the mpcommands which can be used in mobprogs. ~ 105 QECHO~ Syntax: qecho message This command echos a message to everyone which has a quest flag. ~ 1 DRAIN LIFE~ Skill, initiated during combat. syntax: drain, drain <target> Drain Life allows the Vampire to do significant damage to a victim while adding to his/her own life force. ~ 1 FEED~ Skill, initiated in combat. syntax: feed Feed allows the Vampire to do moderate damage to a victim while restoring his/her own bloodpoints. ~ 101 EXTRA~ Extra flag # Extra flag # ================================================== glow 1 hum 2 dark 4 lock 8 evil 16 invis 32 magic 64 nodrop 128 bless 256 anti-good 512 anti-evil 1024 anti-neutral 2048 anti-mage 32768 anti-paladin 4194304 anti-cleric 65536 anti-thief 131072 anti-warrior 262144 anti-psi 524288 anti-druid 1048576 anti-ranger 2097152 anti-bard 8388608 anti-vamp 16777216 noremove 4096 inventory 8192 poisoned 16384 nolocate ? nodamage 536970912 flame 33554432 chaos 67108864 patched ? ~ 1 WORTH~ syntax: worth Displays the current level, all stats, and amount of gold carried. ~ 0 CAST CASTING SPELL~ For all spell casting classes, once you reach a certain level, you recieve spells which you may practice, and then cast. There are spells devoted to protection, attack, healing, and one or two other miscellaneous subject areas. To be able to cast a spell, it must be practiced to at least 1% or higher, otherwise you will eternally lose concentration. Spell casting costs vampires blood points, and with all other spell casting classes it costs mana. How much mana or how many blood points it takes, is mainly dependant on what kind of spell it is and how many levels you have been able to practice it. As you gain levels, spells that you had on previous levels will drop in mana/bp cost. To see how much mana/bp your currently practiced spells will cost to cast, you may type SPELLS. Typing PRACTICE will list all currently practiced spells and skills. Also, to see all the spells and skills that your class will recieve, type SLIST. Syntax: cast 'spellname' Syntax: cast 'spellname' target ~ 0 ALIAS~ Syntax: alias [old] [new] Typing alias by itself will give you a list of current command alias' If you include the [old] string, but not the [new] string, the alias that was on the [old] string will be removed. If you use the full syntax, the alias [old] will be assigned/reassigned the replacement string [new]. A command alias can be used in any place where a command is valid. I.E, any time you see your normal prompt. By typing a command alias, the game driver will replace what you typed with the string found in [new]. [old] is a one-word string of any length (ie, no spaces or punctuation).. [new] is any string, including spaces and punctuation. Example: <prompt> alias clb cast 'lightning breath' Alias 'clb' added. <prompt> clb Cast spell on whom? <prompt> clb dragon Your blast of lightning MUTILATES the dragon.

Use quotation marks (' or ") if you wish to use items with more than one keyword. eg: 'orange dagger' as opposed to orange dagger. The first example would need an item with both names to activate the trigger, and the second example would need an item with either name to activate. Goldpieces Parameters: The ammount specified in the single parameter is the minimum ammount of gold needed to activate the trigger. ~ 101 MVARS MVARIABLES~ All mob_progs may use the following variables: $i, $n, $r, and modifications of these (like $e for $n) prog name | param type | useable variables ---------------+------------+------------------ act_prog | word | see below speech_prog | word | (none) rand_prog | percent | (none) fight_prog | percent | (none) death_prog | percent | (none) hitprcnt_prog | hitpoints | (none) entry_prog | percent | (none) greet_prog | percent | (none) all_greet_prog | percent | (none) give_prog | itemlist | $o bribe_prog | goldpieces | (none) Note: rand_prog and entry_prog do *NOT* have a $n variable available. For act_prog, the variables depend on the information received Any action that involves an object may use $o. Any action that involves two or more objects may use $o and $p.

Some commands to get you going are as follows: >look and also 'look in <item>' >say followed by the sentence you wish to say >who will show all visible players. >tell <person> and what you want to tell a person. >chat and what you want the world to hear. >exits will reveal all obvious exits from the room you are in >north will take you to the north if you can go there >south -------------------- south ------------------- >east -------------------- east ------------------- >up -------------------- up ------------------- >down -------------------- down ------------------- >inventory lists the items you carry >equipment lists the items you are using >get <item> to pick up an item >score gives you your current score. >save saves your char and equipment. >quit quits the game. All commands can be abbreviated. Thus the command 'look' can be abbreviated to just 'l'. Names of things and items can NOT be abbreviated, you must write their full name to refer to them. Be careful! Learn which abbreviations trigger which commands. For instance, 's' is an abbreviation for 'south' not 'say' and sc is an abbreviation for score. If you want to know more commands try just typing "help" by its self on a line and press enter. Also to find out more about commands try typing the word "help" followed by the command for example try: help look help autoexits For the extreem newbie and even the seasoned mudders we suggest you go through mud school to learn how all the commands work. In mud school you can do everything from make your first few levels to buying a few needed items for adventuring. If you get stuck feel free to ask questions on the chat channel or check the who list for a god with "Mortal Council" in their title. Please try not to bother other gods as they are usually very busy trying to add to the world. From all the gods here at Storm we hope you have fun and wish your character luck as it runs into anything and everything. ~ 1 THALADOR THAL~ Thalador, once a mortal druid is now the top Immortals of the land.. And so on. And modest too. :P To contact Thal send email to storm@netway.net ~ 0 RANGER~ The RANGER is a class devoted primarily towards hand-to-hand combat. The RANGER has a powerful affiliation with nature and receives limited spells from the DRUID class repetoire.

Few can best a prepared RANGER. ~ 0 BARD~ &GBards &gare travelling minstrels, collecting tales and lore wherever they happen to be. They are extremely curious and have a deep wanderlust. They usually form their stories into songs. Bards rarely stay in one place too long. On their many journeys, Bards have become jacks of all trades, but masters of none. They possess many spells and skills from the different classes gathered as they wandered. &GBards &gpossess the gift for words and singing. Their voices and songs possess great powers. They &GSING&g their songs in preparation of battle, during battle, and after to protect, destroy and heal. ~ 0 DRUID~ DRUIDS are a powerful nature based class.

Druids are the priests of nature, and the guardians and protectors of the forests. ~ 0 PALADIN~ The PALADIN is an incredible fighter that lives by his deeds. As strong as a Warrior, the Paladin fairs well in battle. His skills in the art of healing others make him an excellent player to group with. With luck, tales of a Paladin's deeds will live long after that Paladidn has ceased to exist. ~ 0 VAMPIRE~ The Vampire is a class that owns the night. Their spells are focused on draining the life from the living. They get their power from the blood of others.

The player must be online in order for the corpse to be recreated. The 5 most recent corpses will be saved. Typing newcorpse <player> will display a list of corpses and number of items each corpse contains The corpses will be flagged as valid or invalid. DO NOT recreate an invalid corpse. The newcorpse routine is fairly intelligent and will not save corpses containing only one item. Therefore if the player has died trying to get his original corpse, and has only a light source, that corpse will not be saved. Once the apporiate corpses to be recreated is decided upon , typing newcorpse <player> <corpse #> will recreate the corpse. The corpse will be recreated in the room in which you issued the command. ~ 1 RACE~ &wThere are 16 races available to choose from in the MUD, each with their own bonuses and penalties.

The classes are as follows; Mage Cleric Thief Warrior Psionisist Druid Ranger Paladin Bard Vampire Necromancer Werewolf Monk For information on each class, type help <class name> ~ 101 PET_SHOP~ Pet Shops are one of the more tricky aspects of building, because a pet shop requires 2 rooms in order to function correctly. The first room is where the person goes to buy their pet. The second room is where the mobs for sale are reset to. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that the second room be the VERY NEXT VNUM after the first. (Thus if the pet shop is room 1234, then the second room where the pets are stored should be 1235) Room1: Gets the pet_shop flag. No mob is necessary but one just standing there pretending to be a shopkeeper adds to the reality. The mob is not a shopkeeper, the room itself is the shopkeeper. Room2: This is where you reset the mobs for sale. the mobs must have the flag 'Pet' toggled under the act section. Prices are set by mob level. -Grunt ~ 1 PRAYER~ Syntax: Pray This is a powerful spell for both CLERICS and PALADINS.

It will set the spell that will be invoked. ~ 101 AC_V1~ Syntax: ac_v1 <#> This will set the current number of charges, or times an object can be invoked. ~ 101 AC_V2~ Syntax: ac_v2 <#> (use -1 for infinite amount) This will set the maximum number of charges allowed on the object. ~ 1 'HEALING HANDS'~ Syntax: cast 'Healing hands' <player> This is a powerful healing spell that paladins can use to heal others. You cannot cast this spell on yourself. ~ 1 'CLASS CHANNEL'~ Syntax: class <message> or > {message} The Class Channel will broadcast your message to everybody who is on from your class. ~ 1 CHAMPION 100 HERO~ CHAMPION HERO 100 CHAMPIONS, aka HEROes are those players who have progressed as far as can be attained in the game on a mortal level.

Ghouls are also considered 'undead' and are treated accordingly. &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ -1 ILLITHID ILL~ &z_____________________________________________________________________________ &wAlso known as Mindflayers, Illithids are a race of spellcasters that usually live deep underground. Because they are so absorbed by the mind, they have become very frail of body. They are best suited as Psionicists or any type of Spellcaster. &W &WSize&w: MEDIUM &WRacial Abilities&w: &z*&w They're able to use the 'mental drain' skill 3 times as fast. &z*&w They are able to cause more damage with the 'mental drain' skill and receive more mana with each drain. &z*&w Damage dealt with the spell 'energy drain' is doubled. &z*&w They can use the 'detonate' spell every round instead of every other round. &z*&w Enemies don't get a saving throw vs 'psionic blast' so that spell always does full damage vs an attacker. &WStat Modifications&w: Str: -3, Int: +3, Wis: +2, Con: -2 &z_____________________________________________________________________________ ~ 1 HEX~ syntax: c 'hex' <target> Drawing on the powers of the dead and the dark, Necromancers are able to place very powerfull hexes on their opponents. This spell has been known to affect it's victims in many different, and nefarious, ways. ~ 1 DARK RITUAL 'DARK RITUAL'~ syntax: c 'dark ritual' When a Necromancer performs a dark ritual, he calls upon his powers to drain all of the remaining mystical energies from a fallen opponent. The drained energies are then added to his own. ~ 1 GRAVEBIND~ syntax: gravebind corpse While the other habitants of the land are not able to control what they get when they sacrifice corpses, Necromancers have developped a technique which let's them aborb all the remaining life force in a corpse when they destroy it. They have named this skill gravebind and it is the best method to get rid of corpses. ~ 1 SPELLCRAFT~ When Mages become more knowledgable in the arts, they are given to the learning of this skill. A Mage skilled in spellcraft is able to double the power of his damage dealing spells. ~ 1 MULTIBURST~ syntax: multiburst <spell> <spell> With this skill, a mage is able to summon enough energy within himself to cast two spells at once at his opponent.

They possess powers to drain energy from corpses and animate them to their will.

At an early period in their lives, the develop a better fighting style with only the use of their claws.

(If you can call razor sharp claws bare hand, that is...) ~ 1 DUAL CLAWS~ When a werewolf becomes more adept at fighting bare hand, he becomes more skilled and better balanced. It is at this point that one starts to fight using both claws at once. No longer raking and clawing only with one hand, werewolves become even fiercer adversaries. ~ 1 RAGE~ Rage is the ability of a werewolf too unleash all his anger and revert to the most primitive form of his species.

Can only be removed by level 108 trust immortals. Use this to ban SITES only, not users. &RTempban&w: Temporarily bans a site or user until desicion to &Rpermban &wis made. 107 trust immortals may remove a &Rtempban&w. &RNewban&w : Prevents a site or user from making new characters. ALWAYS use this when banning a specific username. &RAllow&w : Command used to remove a site or user from the ban list. &wUse &RPERMBAN&w, &RTEMPBAN&w, &RNEWBAN&w & &RALLOW&w without arguments to see the syntax of these commands. ~ 1 'ENHANCED CLAWS'~ This skill increases the damage a werewolf's claws do in combat. The use of this skill is automatic once practiced, but only works while the werewolf is using his claws. It will not give a werewolf any extra damage while the werewolf is using conventional weapons. ~ 1 'HOWL OF FEAR'~ Syntax: howl <target> &w Faced with the bellowing howl of rage from a werewolf's towering form, most enemies will be stricken by a sudden overwhelming feeling of fear and paralysis. Victims effected by a werewolf's beastly howl are generally disheartened and therefor inflict less damage with each hit and find themselves too afraid to press their oppenent making their hits landed fewer. ~ 1 'ENHANCED REFLEXES'~ Syntax: enhance Note : This spell is the skill equivalent of 'haste' and is not accumulative with it. &w The art of fluid movement, trained by thieves and natural to werewolves, is displayed through either of these graceful opponent's specialized reflexes. By concentrating on your objective and making yourself feel one with it these groups of men, women and beasts are able to hone their skills and speed into a near dance of gracefully dealt death allowing them to land blows faster than the eye can keep up with. ~ 1 'DUAL CLAWS'~ After gaining a certain amount of experience in the art of barehanded fighting werewolves give up some of their defensive forms to learn the tactics of attacking with both claws. For them to be allowed this freedom of movement they must not use a shield or hold any items, freeing their hands and arms enough to allow quick movement. This skill once learned is automatic in function and works similar to 'dual wield', but does not require a second weapon to be used. ~ 1 'RAKE EYES'~ &wSyntax: &Wrake <target> &w Sensing an opening in your defenses a trained werewolf will quickly press his or her advantage by taking a swift and savage strike at your eyes, gouging them with their sharp claws. This attack will almost always leave an opponent blind and wishing he'd paid closer attention, but is not accumulative, due to it's damaging nature. ~ 1 'DOUBLE BACKSTAB'~ A true master of the thieving arts might learn the skill of striking with not one, but two backstabs. Requiring the agility known only to a select few of the world's adventurers, this ability demands a high mastery in the art of stealth to slip behind someone and take them by surprise enough to land more than the first backside blow. Although while it has many advantages, this does leave a thief's striking range rather short, since to strike multiple blows he must use both hands with daggers ready. ~ 102 DEMM_102~ ~ 101 DEMM_101~ &RThe world twist and spirles in. Power drains away from you leaving you empty. A meager spark remains from the power you once had. ~ 1 'CHAMPLIST'~ &z______________________________________________________________________________ &z| &B The Collective Champions of &rEye of the Storm II &z| &z|----------------------------------------------------------------------------&z| &z| Level 101 Champions: &z| &z|----------------------------------------------------------------------------&z| &z| Level 100 Champions: &z| &z|____________________________________________________________________________&z| &z| &w"&CMay the legends of their deeds stay true to their actions with the &z| &z| &Cpassing of time.&w"&B Please do NOT use the names of champions no longer with &z| &z| &Bus or no longer graced by that title unless you were the original user of &z| &z| &Bthat name.

Thalador have been receiving a GREAT many notes upon subjects they either shouldn't have to or don't have time to deal with. Please only note them if the problem -requires- their direct help or an immortal specifically asks you to do so. Here's a list of those to look for in help, wether they're on or not: &z &B &w &z|&R Note to: &z*&B Pfile errors (check with an imm first to varify)&w........&z|&R &RThalador &z*&B Coding bugs of any sort, suspected or fact&w..............&z|&R 1045 &z*&B Suggestions for new abilities&w...........................&z|&R 1045 &z*&B Errors in areas, items and\or mobs of any sort&w..........&z|&R Grunt &w& &RSherf &z*&B Inquiring of becoming a builder&w.........................&z|&R Grunt &w& &RSherf &z*&B Questions in general of clans&w...........................&z|&R CLANS &z*&B Questions for immortals in general&w......................&z|&R Immortal &z &BCLANS &w=&R the Clan Guild &C(Anyone related to clan running) &B1045 &w=&R the Coder Guild &C(All of the MUD's coders) &z &BIf in doubt, look at the help files on immortals help '106', '107', etc.. which will give a more indepth look at their job description. Then type: &w"&rwho 106&w"&B, check the &w'&rwizlist&w'&B and ask the lowest leveled person on you can see. This is our 'chain of command', please use and respect it. Thank you for your time & effort into making this MUD what it is today. ~ 106 IMM TOYS~ An Imm Toy is any item created by an Imm with illegal stats on it. Illegal stats meaning something that would NOT be allowed in game. Imm Toys cause more crashes and headaches around here, and that leads to pissing me off, and you really don't want to do that. Imm Toys are NOT allowed, and if you've created any, delete them NOW! There's enough Imm crap in game as it is. ~ 1 AUTOQUEST~ &W Autoquesting is for every level and there are certain rules and commands to know about. &W You have to be at a Quest Master mob to use most the available commands. &W &wQUEST INFO:&W This will tell you what you are currently questing for. &wQUEST TIME:&W Displays the amount of time you have left to complete your current &W quest or the amount of time until you can quest again if you just &W quested. &wQUEST POINTS:&W This will tell you the amount of quest points you have so far. &wQUEST REQUEST:&W This allows you to -request- an autoquest. The &cQuest Master&W &W will then see if it has a quest to give you. &wQUEST COMPLETE:&W Once you've completed a quest, return to the &cQuest Master&W &W who assigned you the quest, and type QUEST COMPLETE. &wQUEST LIST:&W This lists the available items you can buy with your quest points. &W You must be at a &cQuest Master&W to list or buy items also. &wQUEST BUY:&W To buy an item type QUEST BUY <item>. &wQUEST AREA:&W When you are assigned a quest, you may type QUEST AREA to see what &W area your quest is in. &W &WAutoquests are random, and chosen suitable to your level. Sometimes you will &Wget a quest to kill a mob, or a quest to find an object. If you are assigned an &Wobject quest, the object is placed in the room of a suitable mob according to &Wyour level. You must go get the object and return to the &cQuest Master&W and &Wtype QUEST COMPLETE. He will then take the object from you and reward you with &Wquest points. &WIf you are assigned a mob quest, you must go find the mob and kill it, then &Wreturn to the &cQuest Master&W and type QUEST COMPLETE. The mob you are to kill &Wwill have a [TARGET] flag and while you are questing you will have a [QUESTING] &Wflag. &R --- Before you begin questing, make sure you read HELP AUTOQUEST RULES --- &WThe amount of time you are given for a quest is random, and can range anywhere &Wfrom 10-30 minutes. Once you have completed a quest, you must wait 30 minutes &W-REAL- time before you can autoquest again. If you request a quest and the &cQuest Master&W doesn't have a quest for you, you must wait 10 minutes before &Wtrying to quest again. &WThe points you gain while questing are saved every time you log off, but don't &Wlast forever.

Don't forget to read &RHELP AUTOQUEST RULES.&W Anyone &Wwho doesn't abide by the rules will have to deal with the consequences. We want &Wthis to be enjoyable for everyone. ~ 1 IRONFIST~ syntax: Ironfist With this skill, a monk is able to turn his fist to iron, making him hit more often and harder. ~ 1 IRON SKIN~ syntax: cast 'iron skin' This spell enables a monk to turn his skin to iron-like solidity. While this spell is active, the monk is harder to hit and absorbs a bit of damage inflicted to him. ~ 0 CHI SHIELD~ syntax: cast 'chi shield' This spell surrounds the caster with shield of his own chi. This shield is highly impervious to magic and will reduce the chance of magical spells hitting the monk. It also serves to reduce a bit of damage. ~ 0 MONK~ &wMONK Although he is not unfamiliar with weapon combat, the Monk believes in "using what you have" to fight with. In the form of the martial arts, the Monk uses his hands as his weapons and defense system.

Born with massive strength and amazing stamina, these noble beasts can often live centuries before passing on with only their slow movement, due to their massive bulk, hindering them.

As a minotaur gains experience out in the world through their lifetime they are able to increase the speed in which they recover from a sprawling headbutt and slam an opponent again. Naturally due to their chosen profession, those learned in the arts of melee combat are easier able to recover from performing a headbutt attack before those of the magical profession. &z *&WNOTE&z*&w Headbutt is a race-specific spell.

Using this they can often make people believe that someone entirely different from the bard said something they didn't actually say. ~ 0 'SONG OF EVIL SIGHT'~ &Wsyntax:&w sing 'song of evil sight' Often having to travel from village to village entertaining in the local inns and taverns, bards have learned to spot those of evil nature through cautious observation, so they don't find themselves working for someone who won't pay up after the performance. This learned ability is invaluable to a bard's pouch of gold. ~ 0 'SONG OF ICY TOUCH'~ &Wsyntax:&w sing 'song of icy touch' <victim> Modifying the tone of their trained voices, bards are sometimes able to not simply give the sound of ice to their speech, but cause the actual freezing of their opponent, spreading fear throughout the victim's soul. ~ 0 'SONG OF NIGHT VISION'~ &Wsyntax:&w sing 'song of night vision' After spending years training themselves to listen to the most acute of sounds for musical perfection, bards have become adept at focusing into sounds around them in the dark, where they can then use their eyes to focus in upon the source of sound. ~ 0 'SONG OF PROTECTION'~ &Wsyntax:&w sing 'song of protection' <target> Taping into their arts of entertainment the skilled performer is often able to strengthen the moral of their own fearing heart or that of their companion with a simple song, causing the affected person to increase their ability to keep out of harm's way. ~ 0 'SONG OF EARTHQUAKE'~ &Wsyntax:&w sing 'song of earthquake' Focusing their voice to such a pitch, learned after years of practice, a skilled bard can bring about terrifying damage by shaking the very ground around them with their voice. ~ 0 'SONG OF SOOTHING'~ &Wsyntax:&w sing 'song of soothing' <target> Using their voice to entertain and relax a weary fighter, bards can offer a slight amount of healing towards the soul, helping to speed up the healing of the players body. Bards are also able to lighten their own hearts with their music through these means. ~ 0 'SONG OF SLEEPING'~ &Wsyntax:&w sing 'song of sleeping' <victim> Carrying the motherhood songs for the purpose of luling an infant child into sleep to the form of an art, bards can turn this skill to combatitive uses by making their enemies fall to the ground in exhaustion. ~ 0 'SONG OF ADRENALINE'~ &Wsyntax:&w sing 'song of adrenaline' Using their voice as a cataclyst for focusing their thoughts and strength to the task at hand, many bards can unleash the powers of the body through music bringing the body's adrenaline to bear at will. ~ 0 BLACKBELT~ &wSpending their time training in the techniques of the martial arts, a skilled monk is able to eventually achieve the status of a blackbelt. One of this skill level is able to attack with both hands instead of just one as the begining monks do. (Use of this skill is automatic once practiced, but you can't be holding any item or wearing any shield or it will be disengaged.) ~ 0 DROW FIRE~ &Wsyntax:&w df <victim> Harnessing the magical powers of the drow race, these creatures of the dark can engulf their enemies in a terrifying display of flame.

This teaches them were the weaker places of the body, including the many "pressure points" of the body, are, allowing them to cause massive amounts of damage with a single touch. Use of these pressure points can often lead to a monk stunning an attacker in a single move or even on rare occassions lead to an enemy's death. &C(Use of 'anatomy knowledge' is automatic once trained.) ~ 0 'FLYING KICK'~ &Wsyntax:&w flying &C(while in combat) &w Highly trained in the martial arts, skilled monks often improve their kicking abilities, using their incredible speed and agility to lauch themselves into the air towards an attacker, heightening the impact. &C(Flying Kick is very similar to the common 'kick' skill, just stronger.) &W Requirements&w: &z* &wKick &W See Also&w: KICK, MONK ~ 0 TRIP~ &Wsyntax:&w trip &C(While in combat) &wMaster thieves, pocessing a near perfect fluid grace to their movements, are often fast enough to duck down low, using one leg to sweep an attacker's legs out from under him, before their enemy is even aware of their intenions.

This is all stolen/Borrowed from The Unabuilder Manifesto By Grunt U. Neanderthal. Rewritten into this form By Reklar The Ice Lord. ~ 110 DEATH2~ When you die, a corpse is made. If you are AT or UNDER LEVEL 20 it is sent to the Morgue where you can GET ALL CORPSE and SAVE. Then you have to choose between the Bethaven Portal and the Ravenwood Portal. To choose, type ENTER BETHAVEN or ENTER RAVENWOOD. If you are OVER LEVEL 20 when you die, a corpse is made at that very spot where death hit you. You are sent to the morgue, and from there you have to seek out and find your corpse once again to get your equipment back. All affected_by spells are cancelled upon death. Followers and group members are not affected by your death. Followers will stop following you upon your death (or theirs, hehe) &R**&W Corpses decay over time, and so do the object IN the corpses. You have 30 MUD HOURS (15 real minutes) to seek and collect all your corpse items. Only you or members of your group may collect things FROM your corpse.&R** REIMBURSEMENTS will NOT be done under normal circumstances. ~ 106 OBJ_CHART~ Anti-Race Groupings: These are the required anti-race groupings based on the size of the equipment. You may add other anti-race flags, for other reasons, but these must be used in the cases of armor at the very least. Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 (small) (Medium) (Humanoid) (Giant) ----------------------------------------------- Pixie ' Illithid ' Human 'Ogre ' Halfling ' Elf ' Ghoul 'Demon ' Dwarf ' Drow ' Elder 'Minotaur ' Shadow ' Tabaxi ' Lizardman 'Troll ' ' ' ' ' ---------------------------------------------- Anti-Class Flags: Each class has its own restrictions, as to what they can not use, based more or less on standard RPG rules. As in the case of anti-race flags, you can add more, but these are the ones which must apply. These take effect after level 20.

The Hitroll and Damroll bonuses on weapons, being covered by a percentage are as follows: Weapon Type Hitroll Damroll Damage Type ------------------------------------------------------- Dagger 75% 50% stab, pierce Shortsword 80% 70% pierce, slash Longsword 80% 100% slash, slice Greatsword 85% 100% slash, chop Axe 80% 90% chop Blunt 70% 90% hit, pound, crush Whip 100% 30% whip Claws 40% 60% claw, slash Exotic var% var% suction, blast ------------------------------------------------------- So a level 60 dagger could have (60 x 2 x 75% = ) 80 points for hitroll and (60 x 2 x 50% = ) 60 points for damroll. Similarly, a level 20 mace could have (20 x 2 x 70% = ) 28 points for hitroll and (20 x 2 x 90% = ) 36 points for damroll. Exotic weapons use a varying percent based on the kind of magical weapon it is. In order to keep them in line, the variable percent has 150 points which can be split into the two percentages, no more than 100% on one. Remember: ONLY WEAPONS get a hitroll and damroll bonus added to them. And only weapons and items worn on hands are allowed to have an anti-disarm bonus to them.

There are many "spectrums" of Alignment, but the above three are the main states. Alignment is mostly there for roleplaying purposes, in that you act out your Alignment. Some mobs react differently to certain Alignments, and some equipment may or may not be usable by certain alignments. Roleplaying is certainly encouraged here at EYE OF THE STORM II, but is not mandatory and the guideline of RESPECT and CONSIDERATION should also be a big thought when Roleplaying. ~ 0 FIREBALL~ &BSyntax: &Wcast 'fireball' <victim> Fireball is another distinctive spell, that is almost always associated with mages. This spell is a favourite among most mages, because of it's large offensive &Ppower&W. Truly, it is much more fun to turn your enemies into a pile of &Pcharred steak&W, then to do some minor damage on them. ~ 0 'ACID BLAST'~ &BSyntax:&W cast 'acid blast' <victim> Acid Blast is another &Pnasty&W mage spell. When a mage is in combat, sometimes they use this spell to severely hurt their enemy. When casted, streaks of very potent acid come shooting out of the casters fingers. If this acid hits the skin, it will eat away at it, and leave some very large and &Punpleasant gaping wounds&W. ~ 110 AT_COLOR~ &YCOLOR VALUES FOR AEDIT COLOR: &B----------------------------- &r BLOOD RED&W 1 &g DARK GREEN &W2 &O ORANGE &W3 &b DARK BLUE &W4 &p PURPLE &W5 &c CYAN &W6 &w LIGHT GREY &W7 &z DARK GREY &W8 &R BRIGHT RED &W9 &G BRIGHT GREEN &W10 &Y YELLOW &W11 &B BRIGHT BLUE &W12 &P PINK &W13 &C LIGHT BLUE &W14 &W WHITE &W15 ~ 1 THANKS~ This help file is here for those of you that are interested in knowing and giving thanks to the ones who helped to bring back and make this Mud better for you. &YTHE EYE OF THE STORMII &wwould like to thank the following; &YREKLAR &wfor The Dwarven Fort, The Haunted Graveyard, The House of Domination, Tolaria, Forest Vale, Bethaven Badlands, Hammerheim, Bethaven Sewers, Game Preserves, and Heaven.

These factors are as follows; &WRACE&w: The race of your character may affect what he or she can or cannot use. For Example: A minotaur will not be able to wear most helmets due to its great head-size and horns. &WSIZE&w: The size or race of your character depends greatly on which equipment you can or cannot use. For Example: A pixie will not be able to wear the same breastplate that a minotaur can and vice-versa. &WCLASS&w: Your class(es) may affect what equipment you can or cannot use. Multi-classed characters may have a difficult time finding equipment. For Example: Certain beliefs may not allow that class to use a particular type of weapon or armor. Vampires can use only cutting weapons, as their goal is to draw blood. &RNote&w: Materials of equipment also affects some classes. Currently, the Werewolf is prevented from using anything made of silver. &RSEE ALSO&w: HELP <class>_RESTRICTIONS HELP SIZE HELP <race> &z____________________________________________________________________________ ~ 1 MAGE_RESTRICTIONS MAG_RESTRICTIONS~ &z____________________________________________________________________________ &wDue to the overwhelming amount of time it takes for mages to study in preparation for their spellcasting stage, they do not have the time to practice with hand-to-hand combat. Even those classes with mage as their second must devote much time and concentration on the language of magic. This explains why the mage class(es) do not have time to learn how to use heavier and more complicated means of weaponry. &WThe mage class is restricted to using small cutting weapons, daggers, knives and blunt weaponry. Almost any staff or wand can be used by a mage. &wArmor worn by the mage is greatly considered when spellcasting. Wearing a suit of platemail and casting a lightning bolt spell is not an intelligent thing to do. For this reason, mages have armor restrictions due to spellcasting. &WA mage cannot wear any heavy metallic armor, such as platemail, chainmail, and studded leathers and other heavily metallic accessories. He/she is restricted to leather armor or worse (unless magically enchanted for that class). &z______________________________________________________________________ &RNote&w: Some exceptions are made, and this is strictly by the builders own reasoning and by the acceptance of the CREATION GUILDMASTER. &RSEE ALSO&w: HELP SIZE HELP <race> HELP EQ_RESTRICTIONS ~ 1 CLERIC_RESTRICTIONS CLE_RESTRICTIONS~ &z____________________________________________________________________________ &wA cleric (whether good or evil) goes by his or her beliefs before any other factor in life. It is up to you, as the player behind your character to decide and follow what those beliefs will be. As a general rule, clerics use only the weapons allowed by their Deity. In most common cases, this involves using a blunt weapon. &WClerics are restricted to using blunt weapons only except where their Deity permits otherwise. Roleplaying a good aligned cleric will find you in sticky spots for finding weaponry, as there are not many slashing weapons available for those that are good at heart. Most every cleric is fluent with staves and most wands (except for those which are magically enchanted against him/her). &wArmor by most clerics is what their Deity provides for them... a good prayer and a strong will. The motto "take only what you need" is popular with most clergy and is usually lived up to. This again, depends on the clerics Deity and what is permitted. &WClerics are restricted to using only chainmail or worse armor (unless a specific armor is magically enchanted for their usage). &z____________________________________________________________________________ &RNote&w: Most clerical weapons will be alignment-dependant, although some exceptions are made at the builders discretion and by the acceptance of the CREATION GUILDMASTER. &RSEE ALSO&w: HELP SIZE HELP <race> HELP EQ_RESTRICTIONS ~ 1 THIEF_RESTRICTIONS THI_RESTRICTIONS~ &z______________________________________________________________________________ &wThieves are skilled in balance and dexterity, however using a two-handed sword to maneuver into backstab position is quite impossible even for the best in that field. Big and flashy weapons also get in the way when hiding in shadows is necessary. A club or staff is difficult to conceal within the folds of your armor and clothing! &WThieves are restricted to using small weapons that are easily hidden away from wandering eyes. Some thieves, however are better at concealing larger weaponry, so a thief may use any type of piercing weapon. Wands and staves are not usable by thieves. &wBulky clothing is a no-no for thieves, unless it is made of a very flexible material. Flexibility is a must for agility and therefore a suit of platemail armor would not assist you in moving silently. Hiding in the shadows is also necessary for most thieves and a flashy suit of metal will most likely catch any glimpse of light and create a reflection which will then give away your position. &WChainmail or worse is a thieves common armoury, protecting him from that shot or swing that manages to hit home. Quick movements and dodging are not easy when you are armoured to the hilt. Bright and flashy equipment is also not favoured by thieves as it is likely to make them stand out, contrary to their goal. &z_______________________________________________________________________________ &RNote&w: Some exceptions are made because of magically enchanted weapons and armor, but this is at the builders discretion and by the acceptance of the CREATION GUILDMASTER. &RSEE ALSO&w: HELP SIZE HELP <race> HELP EQ_RESTRICTIONS ~ 1 WARRIOR_RESTRICTIONS WAR_RESTRICTIONS~ &z_______________________________________________________________________________ Because of their heavy training and knowledge about each specific type of weapon and its usage, warriors are able to use most all types of battlements proficiently. Though many warriors may learn the theory behind their fighting tactics, they prefer to learn from the practical side. &WWarriors may use any type of weapon, large or small. They are restricted from using any type of magical wand or staff, however. &wIn training, a warrior is taught how to use almost anything as armoury. This in turn gives them no armor restrictions of any types. &WWarriors are permitted to use any type of armor (unless magically enchanted specifically against his/her class). &z_______________________________________________________________________________ &RNote&w: Some exceptions may apply at the discretion of the builder and by the acceptance of the CREATION GUILDMASTER. &RSEE ALSO&w: HELP SIZE HELP <race> HELP EQ_RESTRICTIONS ~ 0 $~ #$
