#HELPS 115 ~ ~ 0 !~ Syntax: ! ! repeats the last command you typed. ~ 0 "REMOVE INVIS"~ Syntax: cast 'remove invis' <object> This spell will make an invisible object in the character's inventory visible. This is an AGGRESSIVE spell when used on others. I.e, it will attack another player if you attempt to use it on them. ~ 106 ''IMM AUTH' 'IMM AUTHORIZE'~ Associated help files: authorize Authorize <player> name -- This is the command used to allow a player to continue in the Spectral Gate pre-auth area, but will make them choose a new name prior to entering the Academy. Use this command if the name is questionable, modern, or rude. If the name is acceptible, but in all caps, accept the name, but send them a tell requesting they not use all caps for their name in the future. Authorize <player> yes -- This is used to accept a players name. Once this command is used, the player requires no further Immortal commands to enter the Realms. Authorize <player> no -- This command is exclusively used to deny players with extremely rude or profane names and banned sites. Use this command sparingly. Levels 101-104 have primary responsibility for character authorization. All Immortals should periodically type 'authorize' to assure their are not any players waiting for authorization. The new system allows the Immortals a bit of time to decide if an name is appropriate before accepting or denying it. If you are in doubts to a names acceptibilty, but it is not profane or extremely modern, you should probably accept it. ~ 103 AASSIGN~ Syntax: aassign <filename>.are Example: aassign edo.are AASSIGN temporarily assigns all rooms, objects, and mobiles in the area range to your pfile. This allows you to use rlist, olist, mlist, and reset list. This also means that typing savearea, reset area, or instazone will affect this area. To save changes permenantly, type "aassign none" and foldarea. &rWarning&w!! Do not have an area aassigned to yourself when getting personal vnums assigned to you. The personal vnums will overwrite the area file. In order to assign a proto area to yourself, you must either have that area bestowed to you by a Greater God or higher. In order to assign a nonproto area to yourself, you must either have that area bestowed to you by an Exalted+. Even if you have the area bestowed only Lesser+ can aassign themselves nonproto areas. ~ 1 'ACID BLAST' 'BURNING HANDS' 'COLOUR SPRAY' FIREBALL 'LIGHTNING BOLT' 'MAGIC MISSILE' 'SHOCKING GRASP'~ These are all attack spells and should not be used against another player unless both you and the other player are listed under 'who deadly' and are within the legal pkill level range. 1) Syntax: cast fireball <victim> 2) Syntax: cast 'acid blast' <victim> 4) Syntax: cast 'colour spray' <victim> 5) Syntax: cast 'shocking grasp' <victim> 6) Syntax: cast 'burning hands' <victim> 7) Syntax: cast 'magic missile' <victim> Each of these spells inflict variable damage on the victim. The higher the caster's level, the more damage inflicted. The spells are listed by their inherent power from strongest to weakest, though differences in strength are in many cases minimal. ~ 0 'ACID BREATH' 'FIRE BREATH' 'FROST BREATH' 'GAS BREATH' 'LIGHTNING BREATH'~ Syntax: cast 'acid breath' <victim> Syntax: cast 'fire breath' <victim> Syntax: cast 'frost breath' <victim> Syntax: cast 'gas breath' Syntax: cast 'lightning breath' <victim> These spells are for the use of dragons. Acid, fire, frost, and lightning damage one victim, whereas gas damages every PC in the room. Fire and frost can break objects, and acid can damage armor. High level mages may learn and cast these spells as well. Be aware that area attacks are aggressive to all mobs in the room, including pets, mounts and charmed creatures. Gas breath is an area attack, the other breath spells are not. ~ 103 ACTFLAGS MOBFLAGS~ &GMOBFLAG &W|&GDESCRIPTION&W &Y--------------&W|&Y--------------------------------------------------------&W sentinel Mobile always stays at its post. scavenger Mobile picks up items of value. aggressive Mobile attacks players. stayarea Mobile does not leave its home area. wimpy Mobile flees when low in hits. practice Players can "practice" at this mobile. immortal Mobile is immortal (not implemented). deadly Mobile has a deadly poison (not implemented). meta_aggr Mobile is VERY aggressive (not implemented). nowander Mobile doesn't wander unless attacked. mountable Mobile can be mounted. prototype Mobile is under construction. running Mobile is running (moves twice as fast) noassist Mobile won't assist other mobs in a fight. pacifist Mobile cannot be attacked. scholar Mobile can teach languages. secretive Mobile will not echo acts. MOBs actions are invisible. mobinvis Mobile is invisible to both pc's and non pc's. noattack Mobile won't use any physical attacks. autonomous Mobile won't switch tanks if hit by someone with higher style. pet Mobile can be used in creating a petshop. &Y--------------&W|&Y--------------------------------------------------------&W ~ 110 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. ~ 102 ADVANCEDEXITS~ SMAUG supports having more than one exit in the same direction, as well as the special direction 'somewhere', represented by a '?'. If you already have an exit leading north, and would like another one, use a plus sign '+' in front of the direction: redit exit +n 10001 - Adds another exit north to room 10001 To modify an extra exit like this, or to remove it, you'll have to refer to it by number: redit exit #2 10002 - Change the second exit to go to room 10002 (to know what number an exit is, do an "rstat") For someone to be able to use the second north exit, you have to set one of the extra flags (see EXFLAGS) like CAN_CLIMB. It's also usually a good idea to set the HIDDEN flag for any special exit so that it looks nicer to those with autoexits on. The AUTO flag makes it possible to go in a direction by simply typing the keyword for that exit: redit exit ? 10001 - Create a 'somewhere' exit to 10001 redit exflags ? auto hidden - Set the proper flags redit exname ? swim - Set the keyword "swim" ... here, if a player types 'swim' in the room they will move to room 10001 ~ 1 AFFECTED 'AFFECTED BY'~ Syntax: affected (abbrevation: af) Syntax: affected by (abbreviation: af by) 'Affected' is a spells-at-a-glance function, which displays only the spells (and skill affects) your character is currently under. Each affect will be listed by name only for the sake of brevity (if you want to know what each is doing, use help <spell/skill name> or 'score'). Characters level 20 or above and deadly characters will also see the number of rounds remaining for each affect. Affects with a remaining lifespan of less than 25 rounds are displayed in white, and those in immediate danger of wearing off will flash. 'Affected by' displays a character's affects separate from its spell/skill affect list. This is useful for ensuring that affects given from equipment are actually functioning. For example, if you are wearing a visor with detect_invis but 'affected by' does not show you as having that affect, you are not detecting invisibility. 'Affected by' also displays your current susceptibilities, resistances and immunities if your character is level 20 or higher. ~ 101 AFFECTEDBY AFFECTED_BY~ The following are affect flags that can be used when osetting an item (with oset <item> affect affected <affect flag>). These flags can also be used when msetting a mobile (mset <mob name> affected <affect flag>). They may additionally be used to mset players if your level allows it. Blind Invisible Detect_evil Detect_invis Detect_magic Detect_hidden **Hold** Sanctuary Faerie_fire Infrared Curse **Flaming** Poison Protect Paralysis Sneak Hide Sleep Charm Flying Pass_door Floating Truesight Detect_traps Scrying Fireshield Shockshield Iceshield Aqua_breath Possess Note - Hold and Flaming are current not in use.

It can be toggled on or off by typing afk, and will also go off automatically when you enter any command. ~ 1 AGGRESSIVE~ Syntax: style aggressive This style of combat allows a fighter to strike more effectively, but leaves many holes in his defenses as well. Fighters who know this tactic can strike enemies for more damage, but their enemies' weapons will slip through their defenses for slightly more damage as well. See Also: style, evasive, defensive, standard, aggressive, berserk ~ 0 AID~ Syntax: aid <character> This skill allows you to bring a stunned person back into consciousness. ~ 1 ALERTNESS~ Syntax: c alertness <self> Alertness renders the target resistant to the sleep spell. ~ 1 ALIAS~ Syntax: alias [New Command Word] [Command(s) It activates] You can use the alias command to make a shorter or easier command that replaces a longer or more in depth on. (This only applys to the character who made the alias) An example would be: alias nc note write Typing nc would do "note write" Alias alone gives you a list of the aliases you have made and you may not use an alias to overwrite anouther command for instance: alias nw note write This would go through fine but "nw" would still take you northwest. ~ 102 ALIGNMENT ALIGN ZAPPING~ Your alignment can range from +1000 to -1000. When you are +1000 this means that you are good aligned, when you are -1000 this means you are evil aligned, and when you are 0 aligned this means you are neutral. You can change your alignment by killing good or evil aligned mobs. This will raise or lower your alignment. The different alignments will allow you to wear different pieces of equipment. If you are good aligned and try to wear a piece of equipment which is antigood, you will be zapped, which means the piece of eq will fall to the ground. The same occurs when you are evil and you try to wear an antievil piece of eq, or if you are neutral and try to wear an antineutral piece of eq. You can also be zapped during battle if you are fighting a mob opposite of your align. You can find out what your alignment is by typing SCORE. ~ 108 ALLOW BAN~ ALLOW BAN WARN Syntax: allow site/race/class <address/race/class> Syntax: ban site/race/class <address/race/class> <type> <duration> Syntax: ban show <class/site/race> <number> Syntax: warn <site/class/race> <number> BAN site will ban a site from playing the game. BAN race bans anyone with that race from playing the game. BAN class bans anyone with that class from playing the game. BAN site/race/class without any other arguemts will give you a list of currently banned sites/races/classes. Type can either be a level or one of the following keywords: all,newbie,mortal, warn. If you set it to a level everyone equal to that level and below will not be allowed on. Warn, sends a warning to the Warn: channel that someone if logging in from the site, with a certaing class or race. If you add the duration, the ban will expire in that many days. Sites can be banned with the * wildcard as well. Be carefull however as *.edu would ban everysite from .edu, or *foo* would ban anysite that had the string foo in it. BAN show, will print out the reason why that particular site/race or class was banned and by who. Number can be a class or race name, a site address or you can use # followed by the ban number. WARN will toggle the warn flag on a CURRENTLY banned site/class or race. ALLOW site/race/class <address/race/class> removes a site, class or race from the ban list. This also can be allowed by using # syntax. ~ 1 'ANIMATE DEAD~ Syntax: cast 'animate dead' <victim> After a mobile has been killed, the magic user has the ability to animate the corpse of the recently deceased mob. The mob will be animated with full hitpoints and will be under the caster's control for a short period of time. The undead can only exist in the living realm for a short period of time before returning to the underworld. ~ 0 ANSI~ Syntax: ansi <on/off> The ansi command will either enable or disable ansi colour. Ansi colour will work provided your terminal has a compatible mode. ~ 0 APPRAISE~ Syntax: appraise <item> appraise all Appraise, when at a repairshop type mob, will tell you the condition of your equipment in question. The mob will tell you if it needs repair or not, and if so, how much it will cost. ~ 1 'AQUA BREATH' 'AQUA'~ Syntax: cast 'aqua breath' <character> This spell allows you to breath in water areas and underwater. Certain water sectors will require the use of aqua breath to prevent damage from drowning. If you are in an area and your movement suddenly begins to drop and/or you begin losing hps <hitpoints>, you should either cast aqua breath immediately or leave the area. ~ 1 ARCHERY~ &wThis is a passive skill that allows you to use a bow and arrow. It's use is automatic once you have learned it. ~ 1 AREAS~ Syntax: areas Syntax: areas old Syntax: areas <low range> <hi range> The 'areas' command displays an alphabetically sorted list of all areas within the game, together with the author and suggested level range of each area. The 'areas old' command displays an unsorted list of all areas (the old style), as well as the author and suggested level range of each area. You can specify a level range to see a list of all areas with suggested ranges which encompass the argument. This can be a little awkward as each area has a low and a high suggested range. Suffice to say that if an area's level range matches even one level of the range you request, it will be displayed. Special thanks to Fireblade for design and coding of this restyled function. The Realms of Despair will provide a copy of areas built by individuals to that individual and no one else. To receive a copy of an area for use on other muds, you must contact that individual. ~ 0 ARMOR~ Syntax: cast armor <character> This spell decreases (improves) the armor class of the target character by 20 points. ~ 102 ARMORCLASS~ . &gThere are two values used with armor class for object type Armor: &GValue0: Variable amount based on level of item at repop. Value1: Maximum repairable armor setting for the object. &gSetting Value0 has no effect. It will re-adjust itself on repop based on the repop level of the item. Setting Value1 below the expected repop value for Value0 will result in an item that cannot be repaired until Value0 drops below Value1's setting. The listing below gives you a rough approximation of the values returned for Value0 based on level: &GLevel Invoked Value0 Level Invoked Value0 Level Invoked Value0 ------------- ------ ------------- ------ ------------- ------ 1 1-3 10 3-5 20 6-8 100 8-10 110 11-13 100 13-15 &gThe amount that Value0 is set to determines the amount the player's A.C. will be adjusted. Different wear locations have a different multiplying affect: &G0 X Value0: Wield, Ears. 1 X Value0: Arms, Finger, Neck, Feet, Hands, Shield, Waist, Wrist, Hold, Eyes. 2 X Value0: Head, Legs, About. 3 X Value0: Body. &gSee also OSET, AFFECTTYPES, WEARFLAGS, OBJECTFLAGS, OBJECTTYPES, ITEMVALUES, WEAPONTYPES, VARIABLES, and OMENU. ~ 109 ASET~ Syntax: aset <area filename> <field> <value> Aset is used to set the following fields for an individual area: author - The name of the area's author name - The full "name" of an area... ie: {10 20} Somegod Some Area filename - The filename (ie: somearea.are) lo_room - The lowest room vnum hi_room - The highest room vnum lo_obj - The lowest obj vnum hi_obj - The highest obj vnum lo_mob - The lowest mob vnum hi_mob - The highest mob vnum low_economy - minumum amount of gold the area will start with at reboot max_economy - maximum amount of gold the area _can_ start with at reboot resetmsg - Message displayed throughout the area at reset resetfrq - Number of minutes between area resets flags - Area-wide flags: nopkill The area must be folded to make these changes permanent. See ASTAT, ECONOMY, FOLDAREA ~ 109 ASTAT~ Syntax: astat (area stats for the area you are in) Syntax: astat <filename of area> (area stats for specified area) Astat displays the vital stats of an area, including the following: Name: title of the area Filename: filename of the area Prototype: If the area is prototype or under construction, will be 'yes' Max_players: max # of players in the area as of last reboot IllegalPks: number of illegal pkills in the area since last reboot Gold looted: total amount of gold looted from the area since last reboot Area Economy: current pool of gold for the area (not including player gold) Mdeaths: number of players mobs killed in the area since last reboot Mkills: number of mobs killed in the area since last reboot Pdeaths/Pkills: number of players killed by players in area since reboot Author: name of the area's author Number Players: current number of players in the area Area flags: area-wide flags (such as nopkill) Low/hi_room: first/last room vnum of the area Low/hi_obj first/last object vnum of the area Low/hi_mob first/last mob vnum of the area Soft range: level range recommended for the area Hard range: level range enforced for area (outside range cannot enter) Resetmsg: current reset message for the area at repop Reset frequency: frequency with which the area resets See ASET ~ 2 ATTACKER ATTACKERFLAG ATTACKERFLAGS~ &PAttacker &Wflags are automatically given by the mud code to players who engage in illegal attacks upon other players. These attacks can initiated by using MURDER, casting an attack spell, or ordering followers to attack a player. Deadlies attacking Deadlies do not receive Attacker Flags. These flags are only given out in situations that involve Peaceful players, i.e. Deadlies attacking Peacefuls, (or vice versa), or Peacefuls attacking Peacefuls. You will be tagged with an &PAttacker &Wflag if: 1. You attempt to MURDER another player, or they attempt to MURDER you. (See &CHelp Murder &Wand &GLaws Pkill &Wfor more info on attacking other players). 2. You order charmed mobiles or pets to attack a player, or you are attacked by another players mobiles. (See &CHelp Charm &Wor &CHelp Pets &Wfor more info)> 3. You are a &RDeadly &Wplayer and attacked a fellow Clanmember. &WDarkhaven Guards, shopkeepers and special function mobs now respond differently to illegal flags. You may find yourself barred from making purchases, placed before Judge Kendra for a hearing, or sentenced to jail. Should you acquire an &PAttacker &Wor any other illegal activity flag, see Judge Kendra in Townhall. Her Honour is located one west of the Main Lobby (See &CHelp Townhall &Wfor info). ~ 103 ATTACKS~ bite claws tail sting punch kick trip bash stun gouge backstab feed drain firebreath frostbreath acidbreath lightnbreath gasbreath poison nastypoison gaze blindness causeserious earthquake causecritical curse flamestrike harm fireball colorspray weaken See MSET and DEFENSES (Some are not implemented). ~ 1 AUC AUCTION~ .Syntax: auction (abbreviations: a , auc) Syntax: auction <item name> <starting value> Syntax: auction bid <value> The auction command is used for performing auctions. Simply typing auction will display the current item being auctioned, if there is one. If nothing is being auctioned, auction <item name> <starting value> will begin an auction. If no starting value is specified, it begins at 0 gold. Auction bid <value> will place a bet for the item. Special thanks to Erwin Andreasen for writing this function. (Ported to SMAUG from a publicly available source.) At the present, if the mud crashes in mid auction, you will lose both your bidded money and the item. This will at some point be fixed. You are able to see auction almost from the point of character creation, however, you cannot USE auction unless you're level FIVE or higher. To remove the auction channel from your screen, type CHANNEL -AUCTION. SEE also "help AUCTION2" for more on auction commands &Y* Auctions will not be stopped for overbidding or misbidding*&w Auction will also work with the following arguments: au bid 20k - bids 20000 coins au bid 20k1000 - bids 201000 coins (20,000 + 1000) au bid 20k10003 - bids 201000 coins, too (only checks first 3 chars after "k") au bid 1m - bids 1 million coins On an existing bid of 10000: au bid +10 - adds 10%, making the bet 11000. au bid + - adds 25% (the default if no number given), bet is 121000. au bid x - multiplies by 2, making the bet 20000. au bid x5 - multiplies by 5, making the bet 100000. It is illegal to auction <or barter, sell, trade> clan, order, or guild items. Exception: Old clan equipment that was converted to be worn by both peaceful and deadly players. ~ 101 AUCTIONSTOP~ Syntax <auctionstop> &WAuctionstop is to be used to halt the auctioning of illegal items, ie: deadly equipment, order/clan/guild items. Auctions are NOT to be stopped for overbidding, misbidding, or misauctioning. Other items the auction can be stopped for are balls of light and recall scrolls if sold alone. If they are inside a container with other items, they may be auctioned. &W ~ 101 AVTALK~ Syntax: avtalk <message> This allows you to use the avtalk (level 100+) channel. ~ 1 AXE~ &wThis is a passive skill that allows you to use an axe. It's use is automatic once you have learned it. ~ 1 BACKFIRE~ Magical items (pills, potions, staffs, wands) which cast offensive spells have a chance of backfiring if the character using them is much lower in level than the spell level on the item. For example, a level 15 character trying to invoke a wand with level 100 fireball may injure themselves when the spell backfires. ~ 1 BACKSTAB BS~ Syntax: backstab <victim> Syntax: bs <victim> A backstab is a method of attack, used primarily by thieves but able to be utilized by others in some circumstances, and which inflicts a tremendous degree of damage on unsuspecting victims if successful. An appropriate weapon type is required to backstab, and if your victim is wounded or suspicious it may not be possible to surprise them. The most important factor in anyone's ability to backstab is to catch the victim when they are unaware of your presence. ~ 101 BAMFIN BAMFOUT~ Syntax: bamfin <message> 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. ~ 101 'BAN 100'~ Seeking to ban a site above level 1 should be an extremely rare situation. One in which the actions of one or more key persons from a site are deemed to be a detriment to the enjoyment of a large portion of the players in the game. Such person(s) are generally deemed to be beyond rehabilitation at this time. When seeking to ban a site, make use of the Grub command to both see the impact of the ban, and to get a list of all character names from the site. You can use this list to keep an eye out for these characters coming in from other sites, as it's obvious these days that a site ban may not always cure the situation. All site bans above level one should be set at level 100 or higher. It should be a rare instance in which a site is banned at some in between level. Only in the direst of instances would a site be banned above level 100, as this will affect immortal level players as well. See also: 'BAN ALLOW' 'BAN NEWBIE' 'BAN DURATION' ~ 101 'BAN DURATION'~ The standard set for ban durations are as follows: Newbie Ban: 1) One week on first instance. 2) Two weeks for the second. 3) One month at newbie, or level 100 for third. 4) Permanent at newbie, or level 100 for 4th offense. Bans for level 2-100: 1) One month for first instance. 2) Two months, or permanent for 2nd. 3) Permanent for 3rd offense. All bans above level 100 should be permanent by their very nature. &WReminder - Without documenting each time we ban a site, we will have no source of history on sites. Always remember to post a note detailing the reasons for the ban.&w See also: 'BAN ALLOW' 'BAN NEWBIE' 'BAN 100' ~ 101 'BAN NEWBIE'~ Banning a site is a form of last resort, as it not only affects the offending player or players, but will also affect every other player from that site. Before seeking to ban a site, even for a temporary level 1 banning, make sure you have exhausted all other options first. In the case of newbie bans, most such instances arise through the actions of one or more abusive players who log in a newbie and begin swearing, spamming, threatening, etc.. Many times this has developed from an immature player's frustrations over getting a name authed. If you find a player going through a series of silly names trying to auth them, make every effort to try and talk with them first. If this fails, use Fquit to discourage them. If you have Disconnect, use this instead, as it is less provoking than fquit (makes it appear as if they simply lost their conneection). If they continue their efforts, send them warnings to get their attention. Use freeze if you have it (or if someone else is on who can use it) to get their attention and make sure received the message. Then, and only then, once you've exhausted all avenues at being civil, you can use ban in good conscience. You've given the player(s) every chance to cease their actions and given them fair warning over the fact that if they continue they risk getting banned. See also: 'BAN ALLOW' 'BAN 100' 'BAN DURATION' ~ 1 BANK WITHDRAW DEPOSIT BALANCE~ 0 BANK BALANCE DEPOSIT WITHDRAW Syntax: balance Syntax: deposit <amount> Syntax: withdraw <amount> The banking commands allow you to manage your funds more effeciently. Funds deposited in banks are safe from thieves, and are saved even if you die, so storing some cash in the bank is a wise precaution. To DEPOSIT, simply find a bank, and deposit any amount of gold you wish. To WITHDRAW, simply go to the bank and withdraw what you need. To see how much you have, type BALANCE, it will show you how much you have on hand, and how much is in the bank. Code for banks courtesy of Minas Ravenblood of The Apocalypse Theatre. ~ 108 BARENUM BARESIZE~ Syntax: mset <mob> barenum <number> mset <mob> baresize <num> These mob fields control the mobs ability to fight without weapons. Barenum is the low end of the damage done and baresize is the multiplier. For example: barenum 10 and baresize 5 would have the effect of allowing the mob to hit barehanded for 10-100 damage. * This field also affects experience gained. Experience is calculated as follows: ^level 3*5 + max_hit +barenum *baresize +damroll * 100 +hitroll *ch -> level *10 ~ 0 BASH~ Syntax: bash Bash can only be used once a fight has started. It will inflict damage and temporarily daze both yourself and your opponent for approximately two rounds during which you cannot heal, flee or perform other extraneous combat actions (i.e. you will be able to dodge/parry/attack but nothing else). These same consequences are inflicted on your opponent if it is a player character, otherwise the skill only inflicts damage. Note that bash has a drastically reduced chance of hitting if the basher is not one of the primary combatants (i.e. is not tanking). ~ 1 'BENEDICTION'~ Syntax: cast benediction The spell BENEDICTION lays upon the members of the casters group a strong, but short-lived Protection of The High Gods. ~ 1 BERSERK~ Syntax: style berserk This tactic is truly powerful, for it causes the fighter to allow pure rage to flow through him, at the cost of his own judgement and care for his or her well-being. While the berserked fighter will strike deeper into an enemies' flesh, his foes will be able to take advantage and bury their weapons deeper into the berserker. See Also: style, evasive, defensive, standard, aggressive, berserk. ~ 110 BESTOW BESTOWMENTS~ Syntax: bestow <victim> command [command] [command] etc bestow <victim> list bestow <victim> none Bestow is used to give a command to a player that the player would not normally have. Bestow victim command will give the command to the person, bestow victim list will show all commands corrently bestowed on the person, and bestow victim none will remove all bestowments. ~ 35 BESTOWAREA~ Syntax: bestowarea <victim> <filename>.are This command allows members of the Area Council to bestow area names to immortals so that they can engage in group building. Once an AC member bestows a proto area on a player, that player can use the aassign command to assign themselves that proto area in order to help the owner of the proto area. Examples: bestowarea joe bob.are allows joe to work on bob's proto area bestowarea joe lists all of joe's bestowed areas bestowarea joe list ditto bestowarea joe none removes all of joe's bestowed areas ~ 1 BITE~ Syntax: bite Bite is a vampire skill which can only be used once combat has begun. It inflicts damage on the victim relative to the vampire's own level if it lands successfully. ~ 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. ~ 1 BLIND BLINDNESS~ syntax: cast blindness <victim> This spell renders the target character blind. See also BLINDED, GOUGE ~ 1 BLINDED~ Certain spells and attacks can render a player blind for anywhere from a few rounds (gouge) to several hundred rounds (the blind spell). If you are blinded, you will see only your name on the 'who' list, and will be unable to see either your inventory or your location. You may either wait out the effect of the blindness, request assistance over channels, or make your way to a healer such as Sonoria in Darkhaven, who will eventually remove your blindness. See also GOUGE, BLIND ~ 1 BLOWGUN~ &wThis is a passive skill that allows you to use a blowgun. It's use is automatic once you have learned it. ~ 1 BOARD BOARDS ARCHIVES ARCHIVE~ Note boards are available throughout the Realms for you to post notes to that deal with various topics like guild, order, council or clan communication, announcements from the immortals, and questions for the immortals or other people on the mud. Add where public boards are available here. Use 'note list' to view the note posted on each board. Type 'help note' for detailed information on using the Realms note system. The post office is located off western Market Street in Darkhaven, two south, one west and one south of the city square. Type 'help mail' for detailed information on using the post office system. ~ 101 BOARDS~ Syntax: boards This command displays statistics on all boards in the game.

It calls down lightning bolts from God. Be aware that area attacks are aggressive to all mobs in the room, including pets, mounts and charmed creatures. ~ 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.

Public channels are those that can be seen by everyone, regardless of their affiliation with clans, guilds, orders or councils. Private channels are channels available to those with affiliations of some sort, and also tells. The first channels you will have as a new player are SAY, TELL, and NEWBIE. - to use say, the person you want to talk to must be in the same room, just type SAY <message>. - to use tell, the target person may be anywhere within the Realms, just type TELL <name or 0.name> [message]. - newbiechat is seen and used only by level 1 characters, members of the Newbie Council, and Immortals.

While under your control the creature is your servant, and may assist you in combat and other more minor duties. Use the 'order' command to give them orders. Be warned, you are responsible for the actions of your charmed beast. If it should go awry and take the life of another player-character, you will be charged as a murderer and will be hunted by several creatures around the Realms. Aggressive mobs will lose their aggressiveness while charmed, but will immediately return to their violent ways when the spell wears off. For this reason, charmed aggressive mobs should not be taken into any area lower from the one from which they came, and should *never* be taken into Darkhaven or the Academy. Those found doing so will pay dearly. As a matter of etiquette, charmed mobs should not be attacked. You can tell a mob is charmed if it is wandering "in a dazed, zombie-like state." Be aware when taking your charmed mobs around other characters that any area attack such as call lightning, gas breath or earthquake will hit your creature and cause it to engage in combat. SEE ALSO: Help dismiss ~ 0 CHAT . MUSIC ASK ANSWER SHOUT YELL~ Syntax: chat <message> Syntax: music <message> Syntax: ask <message> Syntax: answer <message> Syntax: shout <message> Syntax: yell <message> These commands send messages through communication channels to other players.

We ask that you try to stick to these guidelines for color usage so that we can have some consistency in their use: Here are some outlines for using color on a white text file: &CHelp (Filename) &Wcolored cyan. &GLaws (Law) &WColored green. &PAttacker/Killer/Thief &Wcolored pink. &GOrder/Guild (Order/Guild) &Wcolored green. &RClans (Clan) &Wcolored red. &YSyntax &Wfor sytax references, colored yellow. &CDeities (Deity) &Wcolored cyan. &RDeadly/Dealies &Wcolored red. &Y Config (+/- option) &Wcolored yellow.&D If you wish to add other colors to your file, please use good taste, make sure it is readable and don't get too whacky. If you follow the above guidelines and stick to using white for all other text, it will keep the text solid and legible. Should you choose not to use any colors at all, that is also okay, the above guidlines are merely for proper use of color, white is always acceptable. In addition, please keep in mind that the following topics should not be colored except by their defaults: - Help (area name) - Help (skill) - Help (spell) - Help (class) ~ 1 COMBAT~ You may choose a fight by finding a mob, and using LOOK, CONSIDER, and IDENTIFY to gauge the difficulty of the opponent. You can LOOK <mob> to get a look at its equipment and description, this will often help indicate how hard a fight might be. You can CONSIDER <mob> for a one on one comparison of the mobs hitpoints and level to your own. You may also CAST IDENTIFY <mob> to get more detailed information about the mob. You may start a fight by using KILL, MURDER, or many spells and skills available to players. The easiest way to start a fight is to KILL <mob>. Currently, you may also MURDER <mob>, but this causes the mob to yell out. You may find yourself in trouble during a fight, and wish to leave, this can be done by using FLEE or RECALL. You can flee a fight by typing FLEE. You may recall from a fight with the spell 'word of recall' or by reciting a recall scroll. You may also set it up to flee automatically once you go below a certain number of hitpoints by using WIMPY. To use your wimpy, type WIMPY or WIMPY <number of hitpoints>. Leaving a fight with wimpy, flee, and recall WILL cost you a loss of experience, with recall causing the greatest loss.

The higher-level spells heal more damage. ~ 0 'CURE POISON'~ Syntax: cast 'cure poison' <character> This spell cures poison in one so unfortunate. ~ 0 CURSE~ Syntax: cast 'curse' <character> This spell reduces the character's to-hit roll by 1 and save versus spells by 1. It also renders the character unclean in the eyes of God and unable to RECALL. ~ 1 DAGGER~ &wThis is a passive skill that allows you to use a dagger. It's use is automatic once you have learned it. ~ 0 DAMAGE~ When one character attacks another, the severity of the damage is shown in the verb used in the damage message. Damage messages vary depending on weapon type, or what is inflicting the damage. Escalating damage is indicated by the use of _ _ around the messages, regardless of weapon type. Messages in all caps indicate even higher degrees of damage, while those surrounded by * * indicate the highest levels. The message shown will reflect the actual damage you are inflicting on (or receiving from) your opponent, and not a specific fixed amount. ~ 103 DAMAGETYPES~ V3 Dammage types for weapons and projectiles. ----------------------------------------------- 0 | DAM_HIT, 1 | DAM_SLASH, 2 | DAM_STAB, 3 | DAM_HACK, 4 | DAM_CRUSH, 5 | DAM_LASH, 6 | DAM_PIERCE, 7 | DAM_THRUST, 8 | DAM_SLICE, ~ 101 DAMPLUS~ . For those unsure of what damplus is, it is part of the damage equasion for a mob... ie: 10d6 + 10 (the +10 is the damplus) This "damplus" is always added, whether or not the mob is barehanded or wielding a weapon. This is basically the mob's damroll. ~ 1 DAMROLL~ Represents the amount of damage you inflict upon an opponent. The higher the number, the better. ~ 103 DAMTYPES ACTTYPES CLASSTYPES POWERTYPES~ DAMAGE ACTION CLASS POWER SAVES none none none none none fire create lunar minor poison_death cold destroy solar greater wands electricity resist travel major para_petri energy suscept summon breath acid divinate life spell_staff poison obscure death drain change illusion ~ 0 DEATH~ When your character dies, you are reincarnated at the Altar to Thoric in Darkhaven (or your clan's temple). Your corpse is left behind where you were killed, together with all of your equipment. Your gold stays with you (the gods want you to have your gold). Any spells which were affecting you are canceled by death, and you lose experience points as well. Following/groups are not affected by death. Corpses decay after time. When this happens the objects inside a corpse will decay with it. Player corpses last roughly 100 minutes of real time. Only the player who died or someone in their group can retrieve objects from a player's corpse. The only exceptions are for deadly characters, who can loot each other's corpses at will. If you have chosen a deity and have gained enough favor, you may be able to supplicate to your god for your corpse. Also see 'help supplicate', 'help deities', 'help favor' for more information on deities. For more information on death, see section 13 of your Adventurers Guide. ~ 1 DEATHTRAP DT~ A "death trap" refers to the scenario where one steps into a room and is immediately awakened from death with no equipment or corpse. A corpse recovery is not an option in this case as there is no corpse to retrieve. There are also pseudo death traps that may appear to be a dt, but leave a corpse or transfer a corpse to another area. This is not a true dt. It is often advisable to look before one leaps and heed room descriptions. DT's do not warrant a reimbursement, they are a part of the game. Gold, glory and favor are not affected by a death trap. ~ 103 DEFENSES~ parry dodge heal curelight cureserious curecritical dispelmagic dispelevil sanctuary fireshield shockshield shield bless stoneskin teleport monsum1 monsum2 monsum3 monsum4 disarm See MSET and ATTACKS (Some are not implemented). ~ 1 DEFENSIVE~ Syntax: style defensive This style emphasizes the deflecting of blows from an enemy. It is similar to the evasive style, except that it focuses on holding ground instead of dodging. An effective fighter will take less damage from an enemy, but not as much as one using evasive tactics. A fighter will also do less damage to enemies, but slightly greater than those who simply evade. See Also: style, evasive, defensive, standard, aggressive, berserk ~ 1 DEITIES DEITY~ Syntax: 'deities' 'deities <deity>' The deities command displays all the deities of the world. Using an argument will display the target deity's description. &gMAJOR DEITIES: LESSER DEITIES: &gMINOR DEITIES: ~ 108 DEITYFIELD2 DEITYFIELDS2~ Flee, flee_npcrace, flee_npcfoe: favor adjustment made when fleeing Kill, kill_npcrace, kill_npcfoe: favor adjustment made when you kill something Kill_magic: favor adjustment for each offensive spell cast Sac: favor adjustment for sacrificing a corpse Bury_corpse/dig_corpse: Favor adjustments for burying/digging up corpses.

Sex: A sex the deity only accepts. Element: Resistance deity bestows on followers. Suscept: Susceptible deity bestows on followers. Affected: Spell deity bestows on followers. Object: vnum of deity object Avatar: vnum of deity avatar Scorpse, Savatar, Sdeityobj, Srecall: Prices (in favor) to supplicate for these for a particular deity. SEE HELP DEITYFIELDS2 ~ 108 DELAY~ Syntax: delay <victim> <rounds> This command will allow an immortal to "pause" a player. All commands received by the mud from that player will be delayed by the number of round determined by the delaying immortal. After the rounds have elapsed, anything input by the victim during the delay will take affect on the mud. NOTE: Mobiles cannot be delayed. ~ 0 DEMONSKIN~ This spell makes you less susceptible to slashing attacks. ~ 108 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 persists past reboots and crashes and can only be undone by either loading up the character and doing a 'mset <character name> flags deny', or by editing the player file offline. DISCONNECT <character> immediately disconnects that character. FREEZE <character> is a toggle which prevents a character from issuing any commands at all. ~ 0 DESCRIPTION BIO~ Syntax: description bio The DESCRIPTION command puts you into an editor to edit your long character description (what people see when they look at you). The BIO command puts you into an editor to edit your personal bio: what people see when they check WHOIS on you. An Immortal can request you change your description or bio if it contains inappropriate material. Do not use profanity, racial slurs, sexual comments, other players names (without their permission), or off-color remarks. Refusal to change your bio, description, or title on Immortal request is grounds for loss of character privileges. ~ 115 DESTROY~ ----------------------------------------------------------- SYNTAX: destroy <target> DESCRIPTION: The DESTROY command does exactly as it suggests: destroys player files. Caution, the command destroys the pfile in use, leaving only the backup of the pfile, if there is one. ----------------------------------------------------------- ~ 1 'DETECT ALIGNMENT'~ &wSyntax: &Gc detect alignment <victim> &wThis spell allows you to view the alignment (good/neutral/evil) of a specific target. ~ 0 'DETECT EVIL'~ Syntax: cast 'detect evil' This spell enables the caster to detect evil characters, which will reveal a characteristic red aura. ~ 0 'DETECT HIDDEN'~ Syntax: cast 'detect hidden' This spell enables the caster to detect hidden creatures. ~ 0 'DETECT INVIS'~ Syntax: cast 'detect invis' This spell enables the caster to detect invisible objects and characters. ~ 0 'DETECT MAGIC'~ Syntax: cast 'detect magic' This spell enables the character to detect the presence of magic in objects, and is also necessary to detect the magical affects of others for the successful use of the 'dispel magic' spell. See also DISPEL MAGIC ~ 0 'DETECT POISON'~ Syntax: cast 'detect poison' <object> This spell detects the presence of poison in food or drink. ~ 0 'DETECT TRAPS'~ Syntax: cast 'detect traps' This spell makes one magically aware of dangerous traps for a period of time. ~ 0 DETRAP~ Syntax: detrap <object> This skill allows one to disarm a trapped object. Use it with care. ~ 0 DEVOTE~ Syntax: 'devote <deity>' 'devote none' Devote allows you to devote yourself to a deity. If you leave your deity for another, your favor is set to -21000 and you are blinded for a period of time. Devote is available to level 5 characters and higher. Note: You must 'devote none' first before devoting to a new deity. SEE ALSO: supplicate, deities, favor. To see specific information about a deity, type 'deities [deityname]' ~ 1 DEX DEXTERITY~ Dexterity (DEX in your 'score') represents your character's agility, and it affects (among other things): - the maximum number of items you can carry at once in your inventory; with each additional point of dex you can carry additional items. - each additional point of dexterity also lowers (improves) your natural armor class. - the number of new moves you receive each time you level, as well as the number of moves you regenerate at each tick (when resting to refresh or regain movement points). - success chances with bash, stun and gouge, and helps determine whether a thief will be able to poison a weapon or tumble effectively. Dexterity is also very important for quaffing potions in combat. High dex will allow you to quaff without dropping many potions during the heat of battle, while a poor dexterity will cause you to accidentally drop many of the valuable vials. Dexterity is the prime attribute of thieves and vampires. ~ 106 DICEFORMULAS~ To make the special SMAUG spells possible, special dice formula handling had to be coded in. (At least to make it nice). This dice formula code supports full BEDMAS expressions ( ) ^^ / * + -, plus extra mud related operators and variables: D dice L level H hit points M mana V movement S strength I intelligence W wisdom X dexterity C consitution A charisma U luck Y age See SMAUGSPELLS and SSET. ~ 1 DIG DIGGING BURY BURYING~ Syntax: dig Syntax: dig <direction> Syntax: bury <item> You can dig and bury items through the use of the dig skill and bury command. Buried items are not visible to players, even through the use of spells such as locate object. To dig an item up, type dig with no arguments. Having a shovel raises your chance of success. If you dig in a direction, you will attempt to dig open an exit. To bury an item (or corpse), drop the item on the ground and bury <item>. Depending on the size and weight of the object, you might need a shovel. * Note: Deadly players can bury/dig up each other's corpses. * Items buried will not last beyond crash or reboot. Do not attempt to use this skill for storage of items you wish to keep. ~ -1 DIKU 'DIKU MUD' 'DIKU TEAM' 'DIKU CREDITS'~ The Original DIKUMud Team: 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. Bill Wisner - for being the first to successfully port the game, uncovering several old bugs, uh, inconsistencies, in the process. And: Mads Haar and Stephan Dahl for additional locations. The Original DIKUMud was Developed at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen. ~ 1 DISARM~ Syntax: disarm Disarm is an auxiliary fighting command to attempt to disarm your opponent. Several things affect your ability to disarm or resist a disarm attempt successfully, including your weapon and your stats compared to the weapon and stats of your opponent. You can only attempt to disarm your primary opponent, meaning you will be unable to try to disarm a second or third attacker until you have disposed of the first. ~ 1 DISMISS~ Syntax: dismiss <target> The dismiss command will force your charmed mobile to follow itself and will negate the charm effect. ~ 0 'DISPEL EVIL'~ Syntax: cast 'dispel evil' <victim> This spell invokes the wrath of the gods upon an evil victim. If you do not specify a target, the spell's effect will strike you instead of a secondary target. ~ 0 'DISPEL MAGIC'~ Syntax: cast 'dispel magic' <character> This spell dispels magical affects on the victim. It may be used as an offensive spell to remove an enemy's magical advantages, or as a benign spell to completely remove your own magical affects. If you are not a mage, you must be affected by the 'detect magic' to be able to use this spell. Though mages do not necessarily need to use it, being under the affects of 'detect magic' will reveal more information unavailable otherwise or to other classes. 'Dispel magic' can be used by players and mobiles alike against either players or mobiles. It cannot remove affects from equipment, your race or your deity; some other affects are immune to this spell as well. When a caster successfully casts 'dispel magic' on themself they will remove all of their dispellable magical affects. If a mage successfully dispels a victim, the number of affects stripped will depend on their success and intelligence. Otherwise a successful cast of 'dispel magic' on a victim will result in the removal of a single affect each time (victims will notice when and what affects are stripped). WARNING: this is an offensive spell, and its use on anyone other than yourself will be treated as an attack on your target. ~ 107 DMESG~ Syntax: dmesg Displays the contents of the boot log. If you have the ability, please fix any problems found in the boot log. ~ 101 DND~ On or off syntax: DND This command toggles your personal dnd flag. This command effectively secludes immortals from those of lower level. Each immortal has a personal dnd flag associated with their pfile. In addition, each room can have a dnd flag associated with the room. When your personal dnd flag is set, lower level imms can't 'at', 'goto', 'trans', sight you on 'where' or 'where (name). This does not affect LD immortals, they can still be transferred, even with the DND flag on. To see the flag's status, 'mstat self', it will be listed under 'pcflags'. Syntax for room flag: redit flags DND The DND room flag effectively blocks any 'at', and 'goto' commands either to the room, or to a mob/object in the room. NOTE: It is only in effect if: a) there is an immortal in the room with their DND flag on. b) the immortal attempting the commands is of lower level than the immortal with the activated DND flag in the room. ~ 0 DODGE~ Syntax: operates automatically Dodge is a skill which assists in the evasion of incoming attacks. If you are successful, your opponent's attack misses and you take will take no damage. Dodge is an automatic skill and requires no weapon. ~ 1 DOORBASH~ Syntax: doorbash <direction> This skill can be used to effectively bash open doors. NOTE: Not all doors are affected by this skill. ~ 103 DOORDIRS~ Here is the order of the exits, and their corresponding values: --------------------- | Direction | Value | |-------------------- | NORTH | 0 | | EAST | 1 | | SOUTH | 2 | | WEST | 3 | | UP | 4 | | DOWN | 5 | | NORTHEAST | 6 | Exits 6 - 10 are relatively new, and may not be | NORTHWEST | 7 | fully supported by all of the code yet. | SOUTHEAST | 8 | | SOUTHWEST | 9 | | SOMEWHERE | 10 | --------------------- See REDIT, RSTAT and RESETCMDS. ~ 1 DRAG~ Syntax: drag <character> <direction> Drag will drag the victim in the specified direction if they are not standing up. Deadly characters can drag any other deadly character who is not standing up, as long as the victim is within the 5-level pkill range. Peaceful characters can drag other peaceful characters only if the target is stunned, incapacitated or worse. Peaceful characters cannot drag any deadly character at any time. Peacefuls can use 'config +/- drag' to prevent others from dragging them if they wish. You cannot drag a character into a death trap, or if either you or they are under attack. ~ 1 DRAGON~ &wSyntax: &GSpeak Dragon &wThis skill allows you to speak the language of the dragons. You can learn this language at the Language Teacher (Syntax: &GLanguage Learn Dragon&w). &wSee Also: Languages, Speak ~ 0 DROP GET GIVE PUT TAKE~ Syntax: drop <object> drop <amount> coins Syntax: get <object> get <object> <container> Syntax: give <object> <character> give <amount> coins <character> Syntax: put <object> <container> Syntax: get/put/drop <# amount> <object> Syntax: get/put <# amount> <object> <container> DROP drops an object, or some coins, on the ground. GET takes 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. Use 'drop/get/put all' to reference all objects present. Use 'drop/get/put all.<object>' to reference all objects of the same name. Examples: - drop 1000 coins - get all.ball backpack - get 5 sword - put 15 potion backpack ~ -1 DROW DROWELVES~ Drow are the darker, more evil cousins of Elves. They were once part of the happy community of Elves which roam the forests today, but have long since moved under the ground, building vast subterranean cities and complex networks of caves. Drow have black skin and white hair, and are moderately weaker and have a more slight constitution than average humans. Still, like all Elves, they have a slightly higher dexterity than men. Members of this race specialize in spell casting, and have thus developed a very high intelligence. Being creatures of darkness the Drow tend to fight more proficiently in the darkness, and have innate infravision with which to discern objects and living things in the absence of light. Drow gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.08 ~ 1 DUAL WIELD~ Characters with this skill are able to wield two weapons at once. To do so, the character must remove any 'held' item and any shield, then simply wield two weapons. Characters with strength under 25 may be unable to dual wield two very heavy weapons. Once two weapons are wielded, the affects of the skill are automatic. ~ 1 'DUAL WIELD'~ &wDual wield is a passive skill that once learned and perfected allows you to wield two weapons, one in each hand, or one large weapon in both hands. ~ 0 DWARF DWARVES DWARFS~ Dwarves are relatively short (in Human terms), stocky and powerfully-built creatures. Long-lived and extremely sturdy, they are known equally as well for their hardiness as for their cantankerous personalities. Their thick, stout frames lend them poor dexterity, but high strength and stamina. This race has produced some of the most reknowned fighters. Dwarves possess the inherent ability to see in the dark with infravision. Dwarves average from four foot five inches and five feet tall, with dusky complexions and thick, fur-covered torsos and limbs. Both men and women proudly wear and take pride in their beards. Dwarves gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 0.97. ~ 0 EARTHQUAKE~ Syntax: cast 'earthquake' This spell inflicts damage on every enemy character in the room. Beware that other characters who are not yet fighting may attack you as a result! Be aware that area attacks are aggressive to all mobs in the room, including pets, mounts and charmed creatures. ~ 0 EAT DRINK~ Syntax: drink <object> (drink liquid from a drink container) Syntax: eat <object> (eat food or a magical pill) eat <object> <container> (eat directly from a container) Drink instructs your character to drink from a fountain or a drink container to alleviate thirst. Eat instructs your character to eat an item of food or a magical pill (which function in a similar fashion as potions); pills do not fill stomach space. When you are hungry or thirsty (you will see messages at each tick that tell you if you are starving or dying of thirst, and can check your current state with either 'score' or 'oldscore'), you will not regain hitpoints, movement points or mana back as rapidly as if you were well fed and hydrated. If you stay hungry or thirsty too long and you are not an Avatar, your mental state will begin to suffer. Your combat skills will be affected, your coordination will suffer and you may begin to either hallucinate or become depressed. Eating, drinking and a little rest will solve this problem after a short period of time. See MENTALSTATES ~ 1 EATING DRINKING HUNGER THIRST~ Eating and drinking are very important... If you let yourself starve or dehydrate, your mental state will be affected, and you may have problems performing even the simplest of tasks. Typing 'score' will give you an indication of your current mental state. ('oldscore' will also show this information) Sitting, resting and sleeping will increasingly contribute to better your mental state (if done while not starving/dehydrating). Being hurt badly in battle ("That really did HURT", and "You wish that your wounds would stop BLEEDING so much!") as well as poisoning will also have a rapid negative affect on your mental state. ~ 102 ECHO RECHO~ Syntax: echo <color> <message> echo imm <color> <message> echo pc <color> <message> Syntax: recho <color> <message> ECHO sends a message to all players in the game, without any prefix indicating who sent it. If 'echo imm <message>' is used, only level 101+ characters will see the message. If 'echo pc <message>' is used, only player characters will see the message. Echos should always adhere to the guidelines laid out in the Realm of Order (vnum 1214). ECHO done in color should avoid the use of red and dark red unless it is a Urgent message containing important information related to the game. RECHO sends a message to all players in your room, without any prefix indicating who sent it. See also : COLOR 'IMM ECHO' ~ 101 ECONOMY~ Each area will initialize (on bootup of the mud) with a pool of gold based on the area's range and the wealth of each mob in that area. The shopkeepers and thieves will automatically deposit gold into the economy if they are carrying more than a certain amount (the higher the level of the shopkeeper, the greater they will carry before depositing). To allow mobprogs to be created to manipulate area economies, making them interactive and interdependent, there are two mpcommands: mpdeposit, and mpwithdraw (see related helpfiles). There is also an 'if economy' ifcheck. The aset command can also be used to adjust an area's economy by hand (example: aset <area filename> low_economy <amount>, this will give the specified area a minimum economy at the level you set). Mobs will not repop with more gold than what they were originally created with, but if the area economy runs low they will begin to repop with less until the economy is replenished (as they all share the same gold pool). Use foldarea to make changes to an area's economy with aset permenent. See ASET, FOLDAREA ~ 1 EDITOR~ The SMAUG Editor is used when you're writing mail, notes, your bio, description or other long bodies of text. The commands in the editor are (these commands are shown with a space between the / and the command letter. Omit the space when using the commands in your notes): / ? Displays editor help. / l Lists the current contents of the note. / c Clears the current contents of the note. / d [line] Delete line. If no line number is given, the most recent line is deleted. / g <line> Goto line. This is useful for inserting lines, deleting and fixing lines, etc. / i <line> Insert line. Inserts a new blank line where specified. / r <old> <new> Global replace. '/g' to the line you want to start replacing at first, or no occurences will be found. / a Abort editing. No changes you made are kept. / ! <command> Execute mud command. '/! smile' sends the smile command, without exiting the editor. / s Save buffer, and exit the editor. ~ 1 'EIGHTH ATTACK'~ &wThis is a passive skill that allows you to attack up to eight times in one round of combat. This skill's use is automatic once you have learned it. You can learn the multiple attack skills out of order, but it is highly inpratical to do so. ~ 1 'EIGHTH CAST'~ &wThis is a passive skill that allows you to cast up to eight spells in one round of combat. This skill's use is automatic once you have learned it. You can learn the multiple casting skills out of order, but it is highly inpratical to do so. ~ 0 ELF ELVES~ Tall, slender creatures with an affinity for the woods and nature, Elves are distant cousins to the Pixies and share the intelligence and dexterity of that winged race to a lesser degree. With a lighter frame than Humans, what they lack in strength and stamina is made up for with their superior agility - both in thought and movement. Elves are capable in all classes, though they function poorest in the role of pure fighter. Most Elves will prefer to stay close to nature, and many become druids. All Elves have the inherent ability to detect magic. The average Elf stands taller than most Humans, being well over six feet. Most have fair skin and long, straight hair, though there are individual Elves who chose a darker life reflected in their outward appearance. Elves gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.1. ~ 1 EMOTE~ Syntax: emote <text> Emote is a customized expression of emotions or actions. For example: emote justs smiles and nods. ... displays to everyone in the room: <Your character's name> just smiles and nods. See also SOCIALS ~ 0 EMPTY~ Syntax: empty <container> Syntax: empty <container> <container> This command allows you to empty a container of its contents. Use 'empty <container>' to dump the contents to the ground. Use 'empty <container> <container>' will empty the contents of the first container into the second container. ~ 1 'ENCHANT ARMOR'~ &wSyntax: &Gc enchant armor <item> &wThis spell allows you to enchant armor. Armor must be created before it can be enchanted. ~ 0 'ENCHANT WEAPON'~ Syntax: cast 'enchant weapon' <weapon> This spell imbues a weapon with a magical enchantment, increasing its to-hit and to-dam bonuses. The weapon must be non-magical to start with, else the enchantment will not succeed. This spell also causes the weapon to be aligned with the alignment with the caster. ~ 0 'ENERGY DRAIN'~ Syntax: cast 'energy drain' <victim> This spell saps the experience points, mana, and movement points of its target. This is an attack spell and should not be used against other players. ~ 0 'ENHANCED DAMAGE'~ This skill increases the damage you inflict when attacking. Use of the skill is automatic once you have practiced it. ~ 0 ENTER LEAVE~ Syntax: enter Syntax: leave In rooms either 'somewhere' exits or exits responding only to keywords, you can simply type 'enter' or 'leave' to pass through that exit. The most common use of this is with portals cast by mages. To use the portal, simply type 'enter' on either side of it and you will pass through to the other side. ~ 1 EQDAMAGE~ While in combat, you may notice that your equipment is taking damage. For example, you may see "Your lifebane gets damaged." Each time this happens, the AC of the item is damaged by one. If the AC on an item is 5, after it is damaged more than five times it will be destroyed or scraped. If you wish to preserve the equipment, you must repair it by taking it to the town blacksmith. (NOTE: Not all equipment is repairable) You may also notice that while fighting a creature which attacks you with acid breath or another acid attack, your equipment gets "etched and pitted." When this occurs the AC on that item is damaged by one permanently. You cannot repair the damage done by "pitting and etching." ~ 0 EQUIPMENT INVENTORY~ Syntax: equipment Syntax: inventory EQUIPMENT lists your equipment (armor, weapons, and held items). INVENTORY lists your inventory. ~ 1 EVASIVE~ Syntax: style evasive This style of fighting focuses on the art of dodging and parrying blows. Less damage will be taken by a fighter using this style, but the damage a fighter does in battle is also reduced due to the concentration needed for evading an enemy. See also: style, defensive, standard, aggressive, berserk ~ 0 EXAMINE LOOK~ 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> LOOK looks at something and sees what you can see. EXAMINE is short for 'LOOK container' followed by 'LOOK IN container'. ~ 101 EXFLAGS~ The redit exflags <dir> [flag] ... command accepts the following flags: ISDOOR | There is a door in that direction CLOSED | The door is closed LOCKED | The door is locked SECRET | The door is a secret door PICKPROOF | Door is pickproof FLY | Must be able to fly to go that way CLIMB | Must be able to climb to go that way DIG | Passage is blocked and must be dug out NOPASSDOOR | Door is resistant to the passdoor spell HIDDEN | Door is not "obvious" -- doesn't appear with autoexits CAN_CLIMB | Can use the climb command to go this way CAN_ENTER | Can use the enter command to go this way CAN_LEAVE | Can use the leave command to go this way AUTO | Keyword can be typed to go this way SEARCHABLE | Searching in this direction can remove the SECRET flag BASHED | Denotes a door that has succesfully been bashed open BASHPROOF | Cannot bash the door NOMOB | Mobs may not pass through this exit WINDOW | Points to a destination, but does not allow direct access to it CAN_LOOK | Allows a person to view the destination room for a WINDOW exit PUSHTYPE | Players will be pushed or pulled by a type of force. PUSH | Players will be pushed or pulled with a degree of force. ~ 101 EXITMAKING~ The 'redit exit' command is used to create, modify and remove exits in a room. Currently there can only be one exit in a certain direction. The syntax of the 'redit exit' command is as follows: redit exit <direction> [vnum] [exit-type] [key] [keyword(s)] direction: one of: n, s, e, w, u, d, ne, nw, se, sw or ? vnum : the room number in which the exit leads to. exit-type: a number detailing the exit -- has a door, open/closed/locked etc. key : a number corresponding to a key object which can unlock the door. keywords : keywords used to refer to the door, (or exit). If only 'redit exit <direction>' is specified, the exit will be removed. The 'key' field is optional when specifying keywords. All other fields are required previous to the field desired. Examples: redit exit n 10001 - Creates an exit north to room 10001 redit exit n 10001 3 gate - Changes the exit north to have a closed "gate" redit exit n 10001 3 15 gate - Changes the gate to allow use of a key vnum 15 redit exit n - Removes the north exit See EXITTYPES for generating the exit-type value. ~ 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). ~ 101 EXITTYPES~ These are the currently valid exit-types: 0 - Plain exit 1 - Door exists (Required to be closed or locked) 2 - Door is Closed 4 - Door is Locked 8 - Door is Secret (Trying to go that way won't reveal door) 102 - Door is Pickproof (Door can't be picked by spell or skill) 114 - Need to be able to fly to go that way 128 - Need to be able to climb to go that way 1024 - Door is Passdoor proof NOTE: You must ADD the values together to generate an exit-type: 3 = a closed door 7 = a closed and locked door 11 = a closed secret door 15 = a closed, locked and secret door -- Use the 'redit exflags' command to change these flags, and to set the advanced exit flags, most of which are not shown above. See EXFLAGS and EXITMAKING. ~ 0 EXPERIENCE LEVEL XP~ Syntax: level Your character advances in power by gaining experience. Type LEVEL to see how many experience points you'll need for the next few levels. You gain experience by: inflicting damage upon an opponent being part of a group that kills an opponent succeeding while learning a skill or a spell through real world usage You lose experience by: fleeing from combat recalling out of combat being the target of some spells (energy drain, etc.) 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 and some random variation. Your last 100 kills are recorded. Each time you kill a creature that has been one of your last 100 kills you will receive less and less exp for it. The creature will also learn from its experience with you over time; if its intelligence is higher than your own it will begin to gain an advantage over you in combat. ~ 0 'FAERIE FIRE'~ Syntax: cast 'faerie fire' <victim> This spell increases (makes worse) the armor class of its victim. For each level of the caster, the victim's armor class is increased by two points. ~ 0 'FAERIE FOG'~ Syntax: cast 'faerie fog' This spell reveals all manner of invisible, hidden, and sneaking creatures in the same room as you. ~ 1 'FARSIGHT' 'PORTAL' ~ Syntax: cast 'astral walk' <victim> Syntax: cast 'farsight' <victim> Syntax: cast 'portal' <victim> Syntax: cast 'helical flow' <victim> These spells allow the very shape of space and time to be warped at the caster's bidding: 'Astral walk' instantaneously moves the caster to the victim's location. 'Farsight' allows you to see the room in which the victim stands. 'Portal' forms a temporary tunnel through space to the victim. A portal will not succeed if a portal already exists in either the caster's or the victim's location. Type 'enter' or 'enter portal' to pass through. 'Helical Flow' morphs an Augurer into a coil of colour which instantly travels to the victim's location. These spells may fail if either the victim or the caster is in a location which blocks their use, such as no-recall areas, no-summon areas, etc. See also TRANSPORT ~ 1 FAVOR~ Your favor reflects how much your deity favors you. It can increase if you follow the principles of your deity, and decrease if you go against those wishes. High favor gives you better chance rolls and weapon bonuses, while low favor penalizes you. You also use favor when you supplicate to your deity for special services. Note: If you deviate from your deity's alignment, you shall suffer a penalty in favor for some actions. SEE ALSO: deities, devote, supplicate, favor_levels ~ 1 FAVOR_LEVELS~ The following lists the favor scale as listed on the 'score' sheet. The prompt variable for favor uses the same scale, but with fewer levels (thus is less accurate): Loved Cherished Honored Praised Favored Respected Liked Tolerated Ignored Shunned Disliked Dishonored Disowned Abandoned Despised Hated Damned See also: favor, deities, supplicate, devote ~ 1 'FIFTH CAST'~ &wThis is a passive skill that allows you to cast up to five spells in one round of combat. This skill's use is automatic once you have learned it. You can learn the multiple casting skills out of order, but it is highly inpratical to do so. ~ 0 FILL~ Syntax: fill <drincon> Syntax: fill <container> Syntax: fill <pipe> <herb> FILL can be used with drink containers, regular containers or pipes. - to fill a drink container, go to a fountain and 'fill <drinkcon>' - to fill a container such as a backpack with items from the ground, type 'fill <container>' - to fill a pipe you must have both the pipe and the herb in your inventory, then type 'fill <pipe> <herb>' ~ 1 FIRE~ Syntax: fire <direction> target This command is for use with bows and arrows. You must have the weapon type missileweapons, a bow wielded and a quiver or arrows in your inventory. **This will damage another player and should be used with caution ** *** For smaug release.. use wooden bow and flint from newdark*** ~ 2 FLAG FLAGS~ &P(ATTACKER)&W, &P(KILLER) &Wand &P(THIEF) &Wflags are given to players who violate laws regarding Pkilling and/or Theft. Having one of these flags will cause Darkhaven mobs to treat you differently. You may be placed before Judge Kendra and be fined or thrown in jail until an immortal can impose a sentence upon you. For help on &P(ATTACKER) &Wor &P(KILLER) &Wflags, see &CHELP ATTACKER &Wor &CHELP KILLER&W. To find out what constitutes illegal theft, see &YLAWS STORES&W. ~ 0 FLAMESTRIKE~ Syntax: cast 'flamestrike' <victim> This spell inflicts damage on the victim. ~ 0 FLEE RESCUE~ Syntax: flee Syntax: rescue <character> Once you start a fight, you can't just walk away from it. If the fight is not going well, you can attempt to FLEE, or another character can RESCUE you. If you lose your link during a fight, then your character will keep fighting, and will attempt to RECALL from time to time. Your chances of making the recall are reduced, and you will lose much more experience. In order to RESCUE successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill. ~ 1 FLETCH~ Syntax c fletch flint This ranger specialty will transform a piece of flint into a usable arrow. The flint must be in the caster's inventory. ~ 1 'FLOOD'~ &wSyntax: &Gc flood <victim> &wThis spell allows you to damage your opponent by your character creating a flood. ~ 103 FLOODFILL~ Syntax: mapedit fill <sectortype> Syntax: mapedit undo Floodfilling is the process of changing all of the terrain within a contained section of the map into another kind of terrain. It operates much the same way as Windows Paint, or any other floodfill function in a graphics editor would. You will first need to use the mapedit command to walk an outline on the map in the shape you'd like it to be. Once you've done this, turn off your mapedit flag and then step to the inside of the area you've just surrounded ( or to the outside if you want to fill what's on the outside instead ). Then, type: mapedit fill <sectortype> where sectortype is any sector in the sectortypes list, except exits. The floodfill function will the proceed to change everything inside the boundry from what your standing on, into what you want it to be. So if your standing on oceans, and you want to fill grassland inside the boundry, type: mapedit fill grassland. That will change all the oceans into grasslands. Note that you CANNOT specify a terrain type to fill in that is the same as what you are standing on. To force the code to allow for that would create an infinite loop, and so the fill operation will just fail instead. If for some reason you need to undo what you've just filled in, simply type: 'mapedit undo' and your last floodfill will be reversed. See also: SECTORTYPES, MAPEDIT ~ 0 FLY~ Syntax: cast 'fly' <character> This spell enables the target character to fly. It is useful in saving mv (movement points), preventing a character from falling when in the air, moving over water or through the air, and in preventing an opponent from tripping you. Some water areas require the use of fly to prevent damage from drowning. If you are in an area and your movement suddenly begins to drop, then you begin losing hps <hitpoints>, you should cast fly immediately. ~ 106 FOLDAREA~ Syntax: foldarea <area filename> This command saves an area file, usually after modification. &rThis command must be used with extreme care. If you aren't exactly and intimately familiar with the changes being made or what the command does -- don't use it.&w *NOTE* Area files have backups that record the file as it was prior to foldarea. If you folda something and realize there's a mistake, and you've only folded it once -- don't do anything else. Post a note or find Blodkai. Do not fold changes into non-quest areas that are quest related. If you must do this, write a note or ensure it's changed back. Any time an area is folded, document it with the fixed command. (check 'help fixed') See ASET, UNFOLDAREA and INSTALLAREA. ~ 1 FOLLOW~ Syntax: follow <character> 'Follow' starts you following another character. To stop following, type 'follow self'. You cannot follow those more than ten levels above you. You may follow lower level characters or characters up to ten levels higher. You must first follow someone before you can join their group. See also GROUP ~ 106 FOR~ Syntax: for (argument) (command) Syntax: for (argument) (command) (target) For allows an immortal to perform a command at or even on a large number of targets. The arguments include: all, mobs, gods. Example: for gods gl, you will 'glance' in the room of every god who is online (include link-dead) You can also perform an action on the argument target. Example: for mobs poke #, you will perform the 'poke' social on every mob in the game. 'For' does not override private flags. ~ 102 FORCE~ Syntax: force <character> <command> Syntax: force all <command> FORCE forces one character or mob to execute a command. FORCE 'all' forces all player characters to execute a command. This is typically used for 'force all save'. Force is restricted to mob use only until level 107. *Note.. NEVER force a mob to drop eq and give to a player..lest God smite thee down in your very tracks. ~ 104 FORCECLOSE~ Syntax: forceclose <descriptor> This command will force a certain descriptor to close. This is useful to disconnect connections that aren't really connected due to a poor TCP connection. It can also be used to forceclose a connection before a potential problem player can even get to the authorization state of connection. See USERS, CONSTATES and DISCONNECT. ~ 1 FORGE FORGING~ Syntax: forge <ore> <item_type> Types: sword, broadsword, polearm, mace, dagger, whip, claw, crossbow, longbow, ring, cloak, vest, helmet, leggings, boots, gloves, sleeves, shield, chestplate, belt, bracer, earing, visor, glasses, backpack, and anklet See also: MINING. ~ 1 'FOURTH CAST'~ &wThis is a passive skill that allows you to cast up to four spells in one round of combat. This skill's use is automatic once you have learned it. You can learn the multiple casting skills out of order, but it is highly inpratical to do so. ~ 108 FSHOW~ ----------------------------------------------------------- SYNTAX: fshow <moblog | plevel> DESCRIPTION: The FSHOW command when used with the MOBLOG variable, displays the current log of MPLOG. When FSHOW is used with the PLEVEL variable, it will display the current log of all character levels that have occurred since the last reboot. ----------------------------------------------------------- ~ 105 FURNITUREVALUES~ FURNITUREVALUES It is now possible to sit/sleep/rest/stand on furniture. Here is how all of this works. value2 - sit/sleep/rest/stand on furniture (more below) As for value2, it uses bitvictors, and here are their numbers SIT ON - 1 SIT IN - 2 SIT AT - 4 STAND ON - 8 STAND IN - 16 STAND AT - 32 SLEEP ON - 64 SLEEP IN - 128 SLEEP AT - 256 REST ON - 512 REST IN - 1024 REST AT - 2048 Furniture is set using the v2 setting and through adding the values to make it work. Say you want SIT ON and STAND IN, you would add 1 and 16 and get 17. A quick note, you can only be on in at an object. If you set all 3 of them to lets say Sit, when type type sit object, they will sit at the object. So only select one. ~ 101 GATE~ Syntax: cast gate This spell gates in a guardian vampire. Player characters don't have much use for it, but high demons, and guardian vampires themselves, like it a lot. ~ 1 GENERAL~ . _____________________________________________________________________ / / \ | Eldhamud, The Oakland Chronicals General Help File | | \_________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | | MOVEMENT GROUP | | north south east west up down follow group gtell split | | exits recall | | sleep wake rest stand | | | | OBJECTS INFORMATION / COMMUNICATION | | get put drop give sacrifice help commands areas | | wear wield hold report score time weather where who| | recite quaff zap brandish description password title | | lock unlock open close pick bug idea typo | | inventory equipment look gossip say shout tell yell | | eat drink fill emote note | | list buy sell value | | | | COMBAT OTHER | | kill flee kick rescue disarm ! save quit | | backstab cast wimpy practice train | | | | | | For more help, type 'help <topic>' for any command, skill, or spell.|___ | Also help on: DAMAGE DEATH EXPERIENCE NEW GLORY TICK WIZLIST | \ | | | \______________________________________________________________________\__/ ~ 111 GFIGHTING~ ----------------------------------------------------------- SYNTAX: gfighting gfighting <low> <high> gfighting <low> <high> mobs DESCRIPTION: The GFIGHTING command does a global search for the fighting targets specified, where <low> <high> indicates the target's level. EXAMPLE: gfighting 1 5 would display a list of PCs levels one through five that are fighting, who they are fighting and their level, what vnum/room name they are fighting in, and the name of the area they are fighting in. By adding the 'mobs' variable, the command would display the same information for mobs of the levels specified. ----------------------------------------------------------- ~ 1 GIANT~ &wSyntax: &GSpeak Giant &wThis skill allows you to speak the language of the giants. You can learn this language at the Language Teacher (Syntax: &GLanguage Learn Giant&w). See also: Languages, Speak ~ 0 GITH~ The Gith are a race descended from humans. Once long ago, they were a peaceful civilization of humans that were captured by mind flayers and tormented for centuries. Eventually, a savior named Gith led them to freedom, yet their bodies had been flayed by the mental powers of the illithids. The Gith found themselves, stronger, quicker, luckier and smarter than average humans, yet they had lost much of their faith, wisdom, stamina and charisma. They had yellowed skin and were very long of limb. Sunken eyes peered from yellowed sockets, now strangely capable of naturally detecting invisible things. The Gith race has split into three distinct groups recently. The good, the Githzerai, the selfish neutral, the Pirates of Gith, and the evil, the Githyanki. Gith gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.06. ~ -1 GNOME GNOMES~ Gnomes are a quirky demi-human race. Though not the mightiest of races, they are well versed in their studies of knowledges, magics and religions. Additionally, due to their familiarity with such lore, they tend to be more resistant to magics. They can, though, suffer tremendously from physical attacks. Gnomes usually focus in the magical or clerical arts, though a few rogues have ventured into the arts of thieving (albeit often not very well.) Gnomes are a short, stocky race, similar to their dwarven cousins. Most often prefer an evening at home with a magical tome, a loaf of pipeweed bread and a cup of ale over venturing out to battle. Gnomes gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.2 ~ 1 GODS~ The domains of Despair's Gods are often terror-filled and designed to horrify and shock any mortal visitors. None have ever discovered an entrance to any of these domains, for they are guarded by the most powerful of godly magics. ~ 1 GOHOME~ Syntax: gohome After a player has acquired a house, they may use this command to instantly transport themselves to their house. It is similar to RECALL, but GOHOME will take you home instead of the recall point. However, it will not work if you are in a "No Recall" or similar type of room. See also: RECALL. ~ 1 GOLD~ Syntax: gold Displays the current total amount of gold you are carrying. ~ 101 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. If the location is a vnum, and it does not already exist, and it is within your room vnum range; it shall be created for your to edit further with REDIT. 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. You may also "GOTO pk" to go to the site of the most recent illegal pkill. See REDIT. ~ 1 GOUGE~ syntax: gouge This attack can only be used in combat, and will strike at the eyes of your opponent, causing damage and temporary blindness. Note that gouge has a reduced chance of hitting if the gouger is not one of the primary combatants (i.e. is not tanking).

Warrior mana is not displayed. &w[mst]&g tracks mentalstate. A normal or near-normal state, where the char is neither tired (negative mentalstate) or delirious (high), is represented by a === bar. As mentalstate lifts into delirium, sections are replaced with +, the greater the number of +'s the more delirious the char. As mentalstate sinks below into exhaustion, sections of the bar are replaced with -, the more -'s the greater the character's exhaustion. &w[mvs]&g lists current moves only &w[race]&g is the character's race. &w[to lvl] &gdisplays exp required to attain the next level (non-Avatars only) ~ 1 GROUP GROUPING~ Syntax: group <character>, group all, group, group disband 'Group <character>' adds someone who is following you into your group, making them a group member. Group members share experience from kills, and may use the GTELL and SPLIT commands. If anyone in your group is attacked, you will automatically join the fight. If character is already a member of your group, 'group <character>' again to remove them from your party. Removing the character from the group does not stop them from following you, however. A character can also leave a group by using the 'follow self' command, in which case they will both leave your group and stop following you. 'Group' with no argument shows statistics for each character in your group. 'Group all' groups all eligible players following you in the room. 'Group disband' allows the leader to disband his group (members will stop following and are ungrouped). You may group only characters within eight levels of your own. See section 10 of your Adventurer's Guide for more information on groups and grouping. See also GROUP DISPLAY ~ 0 GTELL ; REPLY SAY TELL~ Syntax: gtell <message> Syntax: say <message> Syntax: tell <character> <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. 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. ~ 113 GWHERE~ ----------------------------------------------------------- SYNTAX: gwhere gwhere <low> <high> gwhere <low> <high> mobs DESCRIPTION: The GWHERE command displays a global location list of the targets specified; name of target and level, vnum/name of room, and name of area are all displayed, where <low><high> indicates the level of the players or MOBs. If level criterias are note defined, all will be displayed. ----------------------------------------------------------- SEE ALSO: GFIGHTING ~ 0 HALFLING HALFLINGS~ Stout, round, open-minded and very elusive the Hobbit has a level of dexterity which is only equal to his wit. Many enjoy the thrill of reading a good book, or telling stories by the fire. Many halflings, because of this, tend to avoid adventuring, though some rare hobbits choose the path of the Bard, or storyteller, for their keen intellect serves them well. This intelligence, coupled by a surprising determination makes them a curious (though somewhat underpowered) ally. Halflings have compact bodies and thick, long limbs, and usually have very hairy feet. Eye color range from blue, brown, green, and any shade inbetween. Halflings gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.02. ~ 1 HEADBUTT~ Syntax: headbutt Headbutt is a skill which can only be used once a fight has started, and can only be used against your primary opponent. If it successfully lands, it inflicts damage on your opponent. ~ 101 HEDIT~ Syntax: hedit [help topic] This command allows you to edit a help topic. If the specified help topic does not exist, it will be created for you. The default help page (summary) will be selected if you do not specify a page. NOTE - Always, when creating a new help entry, type Help <new entry name> prior to creating your entry. A pre-existing help file associated with that keyword may already exist. &Y Colors &wcan now be added to help files using the same command set that changes a player's prompt. &bMultiple &Ycolor &wcombinations can be set on a given line including ^bbackground^x colors. However there are a couple of quirks to take note of: &Y 1) At the very least, the first character of a help file cannot be either the symbol '&&' or the symbol '^^'. 2) Color changes have to be separated by at least one character. ie, '&&Y.^^r' will work, '&&Y^^r' will cause problems. 3) Color codes are imbedded within text and _do_ count in note buffers for line length. ie, watch out for <Long Line Trimmed>. &w Colors should be used to &Yenhance &wthe help file, or specific parts of the help file. Tact and restraint should be used if considering the use of colors. See HSET, PCOLORS. ~ 101 HELL UNHELL~ Syntax: hell <character> <number> <hours or days> Syntax: unhell <character> The hell command sends a character to hell for a given period of time. It automatically releases the character when their time has been served. Upon being helled, the character receives the message, "The immortals are not pleased with your actions. You shall remain in hell for <time period>". Hell takes arguments of either hours or days. To hell someone for 3 hours, "hell <character> 3 hours". To hell someone for three days, "hell <character> 3 days". Hell will default to hours if hours or days is not specified. You may not hell someone for more than thirty days with the hell command. To release a player from hell, simply "unhell <character>". ~ 0 HELP~ You must really need Help! To find help topics available to you, type hlist. This will give you a very long list of help files. If you would like a shortened list, type hlist a for help files that begin with the letter a. ~ 1 HIDE SNEAK VISIBLE~ Syntax: hide Syntax: sneak Syntax: visible If you successfully hide, creatures cannot see you unless they are affected by 'detect hidden'. Player characters can detect you, however. If you successfully sneak, you can move from place to place without being noticed by other player characters. If you flee, you will stop sneaking and will have to 'sneak' again. In order to either hide or sneak successfully, you will have to practice the appropriate skill. Visible (vis) cancels your hiding and sneaking, as well as any invisibility, effectively making you visible again to all. ~ 101 HITALL~ Syntax: hitall Hitall is a fighter skill that will start a fight by hitting all the opponents in the room. For nondeadly characters, the 'opponents' means mobs, for deadlies it means all the deadly players in the room. Be aware that area attacks are aggressive to all mobs in the room, including pets, mounts and charmed creatures. ~ 1 HITROLL HR~ Represents your chances of hitting your opponent. The higher the number, the better. ~ 1 HLIST~ Syntax: hlist <low level range> <high level range> This command will give you a listing of available help files. The list is in alphabetical order based on the first triggering keyword. While this command was initially designed as a maintenance tool to help us track help files, it is also available to players so that they can capture a listing of the help files available to them. Note - You may only view help files that are coded for viewing by your level or lower. Note - The list of help files is quite extensive, and the command does not as yet have a way to filter/shorten the list. Screen capture is, at present, your only recourse. ~ 0 HOLD REMOVE WEAR WIELD~ Syntax: hold <object> Syntax: remove <object> Syntax: remove all Syntax: wear <object> Syntax: wear all Syntax: wield <object> Three of these commands will cause you to take an object from your inventory and use it as equipment: HOLD is for lights, wands and staves; WEAR is for armor; WIELD is for weapons.

With holy light, you can see what's in the game more easily. Without holy light, you can see what mortal players see. INVIS is a toggle which makes you completely invisible to all player characters of lower level than you, and to all mobiles. When an immortal is INVIS, they will have a flag on the who list which indicates their level of invisibility, such as (101) for INVIS 101. A similar flag will also appear when you 'LOOK' in a room - this flag will say (Invis 101). HOLYLIGHT will not allow you to see immortal INVIS characters who are higher level than you. ~ 1 HOME HOUSE HOUSING~ Within the realm of Eldha, players are able to buy a house/home for themselves.

(Like in spellcasting) Note: If you have instances of multiple help files with the same keyname, using Hset Remove without a level designation will remove the one with the lowest level of access. ie: Help file XYZZY at level 107, and help file 'SAVE XYZZY' at level 108. Typing 'HSET REMOVE XYZZY' will remove the level 107 XYZZY. Typing 'HSET REMOVE 108.XYZZY' will remove the level 108 'SAVE XYZZY'.

All tells, says, socials, and emotes from these characters will be blocked (gagged out). You will still see their communications through public channels, however. Simply typing ignore will give you a list of all the characters you are currently ignoring. Ignore <character> allows you to add or remove a character from your list of ignored players. If the name is already on the list it will be removed. If the name is not on the list it will be added. Note that only the names of actual characters will be accepted and that it is not necessary for them to be logged on at the time. Ignore reply will cause you to ignore the last person to send you a tell. This can be used to prevent invisible people from spamming you. Ignore none will set you to ignoring no one. ~ 1 'ILL FORTUNE'~ Syntax: c 'ill fortune' <victim> Ill Fortune reduces the victim's luck by three. ~ 101 IMM~ This immortal list of rules and regulations is currently under construction. The helpfiles that are available are: 'help immrules' 'help imm invis' 'help imm echo' 'help imm recho' 'help imm auth' 'help imm forceclose' 'help imm force' 'help imm snoop' 'help imm freeze' 'help imm bodybag' 'help immortal' 'help creator' 'help savior' 'help demi god' 'help lesser god' ~ 101 'IMM ECHO'~ Associated help files: echo Echos should generally be medieval in nature, and their use confined primarily to administrative functions, weddings, quest, role-playing and the like. Role-playing should be used rarely, however. Though there is some leeway within these guidelines, some practices are frowned upon and should be avoided. Do not use your name in an echo unless necessary. Avoid comical phrases or 'cutsey' terms. Do not use :) or other symbols/punctuations at all. If any of the above are necessary, there exist a sufficient number of public channels via which the task can be accomplished while still reaching a wide audience - without forcing it onto the screen of every character in the game. ~ 101 'IMM EQUIP~ . Equipment Usage --------------- ** All equipment worn by an immortal must be made from vnum 1222. ** No stats or affects may be added to vnum 1222. ** If you need to test your mobs, you may make a weapon with the stats needed to test your mob. ~ 101 'IMM FORCE'~ Associated help files: force This command allows you to make someone execute a command. Forcing someone can often be looked at as high-handed. Most common use of force is to make someone do something as you are snooping, to check problems or bugs, without waiting having to tell the character exactly what to type. It is always best to ask the person before you begin forcing them. You may also use force to make a player quit, drop, or read something when you are punishing them. Force all <command> can be done, but causes excessive lag because it causes every player lower than you to attempt the command. This should be reserved to "force all save" in times of numerous crashes. You should never force all to use a channel. ~ 101 'IMM FORCECLOSE'~ Associated help files: forceclose This command will force a certain descriptor to close. To use, you must first look for the number listed under Desc on the user list. Then type: forceclose <Desc #> You can use forceclose to knock a trouble player offline, as well as knock off someone who it stuck online. ~ 101 'IMM FREEZE'~ Associated help files: help 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. ~ 101 'IMM GOTO'~ Syntax: goto <name> This is a reminder to use common courtesy when using such commands as goto. Not only is it considered inappropriate to goto higher level immortals without asking permission, the same could be said when wanting to visit any player on the mud. A quick tell requesting to visit would suffice. For those of you who frequent headquarters, either Clans, Guilds or Orders, requesting permission, though not necessary, is certainly welcome. Note that if a mortal requests that you leave their hq, and you have no pressing business, you are obligated to abide by their wishes. (This does not apply to high ranking immortals.) ~ 101 'IMM INVIS'~ Associated help files: invis and wizinvis Those Immortals between levels 101 and 104 may invis to level 101 when they are running or preparing a quest, involved in a building projects that requires you to be uninterrupted, or you are actively watching a mortal. At all other times, the Immortal should be visible to all levels of mortals and Immortals. Wizinvis is to be used as a tool to assist you in your duties as an Immortal, it is not a means to spy on others or hide. Immortals of level 35 and above may use wizinvis beyond 101 to work on projects or monitor another person. It is mandatory to be visible to all other immortals whenever reasonably able to do so. Keep the use of "Someone" to a minimum on channels. Exceptions are when you need to answer a question, make a comment, or pass on some information, but are too busy to become visible. ~ 101 'IMM RECHO'~ Associated help files: recho Rechos should generally be medieval in nature, and their use confined primarily to administrative functions, weddings, quest, role-playing and the like. Recho can be seen by all players in one room. Do not use recho to "scare" mortals. Recho is seen on logs, be cautious in using them in social/private situations. ~ 101 'IMM SNOOP'~ Associated help files: snoop The snoop command is a very valuable tool, when used appropriately. Snoop not only allows you to watch another person, but to see the world through their eyes, helping to track down problems the person may be experiencing. The reasons for snooping are too varied to mention here, but the reasons NOT to snoop are easily listed. -- Do not snoop people being intimate. <i.e. Mudsex, voyeurism, etc...> -- Do not repeat information learned in snoop casually, especially to mortals -- Only snoop a person talking to a higher level Immortal with the higher Immortals "Express Permission". -- If a higher level Immortal begins communication with someone you are snooping, inform that higher Immortal immediately of the snoop. -- If a higher level Immortals requests you to stop snooping, do so quickly. -- "Spot check" snooping of lower level Immortals is part of being a higher level immortal. All Immortals may be snooped at any time, for any reason. -- Do not snoop for the purpose of gaining information for personal reasons. -- Any incidental references learned in snoop should be disregarded. ** For example, you learn someone is having a mud affair from snoop. ** This information has nothing to do with the reason you are snooping ** and should not affect your judgement. It should not be passed on. -- Being an Immortal is a privilege and a job. Snoop is a tool to assist you do your job properly. Snoop is neither a toy nor a right. ~ 101 IMMAUTH AUTH AUTHORIZE~ Associated help file: Authorize Syntax: authorize <name> <yes|name|no/deny> Authorize is used to allow a new player to start his or her character. Names must not be offensive or similar to an existing immortal (within a letter or two). Names like "Braveheart" are acceptable even though they are not normally considered "proper" names. Players are allowed to use names of mobs ... but not extremely popular mobs. Use your best judgement when authorizing a name. You may use the abbreviation "a" for authorize and the abbreviation "n" for name. In addition, you only need to type as much of a name to uniquely identify it. So, for example, if Goixetoika is awaiting authorization, a shows pending authorizations a g allows the name a g n requires player to change name a g no denies name and forces player off (offensive name) ~ 101 IMMLAW2 IMMLAWS2 IMMRULES2~ . -- Continued from immlaws1 6) Auths * Names should sound medieval and not be offensive to a sex, religion, race etc 7) Helling * Do not abuse.

WHO - A list of other players visible to you in the Realms. TITLE - Once you reach level five, you may make your own title. PASSWORD- Your password can be changed with PASSWORD <new> <new> DESC - You may set up a personal description, type DESC to edit. This is only a brief list of commands that will help you do things with your character. More detailed information on each command can be found in the HELP files. You may also read sections 1 and 20 in your Adventurer's Guide book to learn more about these commands. ~ 1 INFRAVISION INFRARED~ Syntax: c infravision Syntax: c infravision <character> This spell enables the character to detect the heat signatures of other players and creatures in the room with them. This spell will also allow you to find items in corpses, containers, etc. but will not allow you to view the actual contents. You must have a light source to actually see items, room descriptions, the contents of corpses or containers, room exits and the like inside a darkened area. Infravision is not the same as "night vision". ~ 1 INSECTOID~ &wSyntax: &GSpeak Insectoid &wThis skill allows you speak to language of the Insectoids. You can learn this language at the Language Teacher (Syntax: &GLanguage Learn Insectoid&w). See also: Languages, Speak ~ 109 INSTALLAREA~ Syntax: installarea <area filename> <full area name/title> Installs a prototype area into the mud as a non-prototype area. The filename can be fixed with aset, (don't forget to foldarea the new name.) Currently the builder should quit and have his/her vnums cleared manually. (This should be fixed soon). ~ 1 INT INTELLIGENCE~ Intelligence (INT in your 'score') represents your character's mental capacity. Among other things, it affects: - heavily influences the amount of mana a character gains at level - affects the amount of mana regenerated or recovered at each tick if a character is resting or sleeping - the rate at which a character learns a new skill or spell - the percentage rate at which a character practices a new language Intelligence is an important factor in learning between combatants. If a character fights a creature several times, the more intelligent of the two opponents will gain an advantage over time... Intelligence is the prime attribute of the mage. ~ 0 INVIS 'MASS INVIS'~ Syntax: cast invis <character> Syntax: cast 'mass invis' The INVIS spell makes the target character invisible. Invisible characters will become visible when they attack. The MASS INVIS spell makes all characters in the caster's group invisible, including the caster. ~ 115 IPCOMPARE~ Syntax: ipcompare <name> ipcompare <site> ipcompare <name or site> <room|area|world> <#> This takes * as a wild card. Ipcompare will compare online users to search for multiplayers. A positive match using ipcompare does not always mean it is a multiplayer..but shows that there are more than one user from a site on simultaneously. Ipcompare <field> <#> will limit the output to x number of lines based on #. * may be used as a wild card, for example ipcompare 207.18.3.* will return matches from any that begin with the ip prior to the asterisk. Ipcompare <field> <room|area|world> will limit the search based on that criteria. The room|area|world limitation will be judged on the room that the immortal issued the command in. So if you are in a different area than the victim, it will show only players matching the site in the area you are in. ~ 103 ITEMVALUES~ In these values, 'sn' is a spell number; a negative value means 'no spell'.

You must be level 5 or higher to be able to use the murder command. ~ 2 KILLER KILLERFLAG KILLERFLAGS~ &WThe mud will automatically assign you a &PKiller &Wflag if you cause the death of another player. Only situations which involve peacefuls being killed by mortals, or &RDeadlies &Wkilling fellow clanmembers will result in the assignment of this flag. You will receive a &PKiller &Wflag if: 1. You caused the DEATH of another player, regardless of who attacked first. To help prevent yourself from acquiring a &PKiller &Wflag after being attacked, set yourself to &YConfig +Nice &W(See &CHelp Config &Wfor info). 2. You were the Master of a mobile which killed another player while under the influence of your charm. PLEASE NOTE that you will receive a &PKiller &Wflag even if the player that died attacked the charmed mobile without the Master's permission. Charmers and Pet Owners are held responsible for the actions of their Pets/Charmies. (See &CHelp Charm &Wand &CHelp Pets &Wfor more info on these topics). 3. You are a &RDeadly &Wplayer and caused the death of a fellow Clanmember. ~ 1 KILLSTEAL KILLSTEALING~ Don't do it. Kill stealing occurs when a player attacks a mob that is already being fought. This is both annoying and illegal. If someone should do this to you please inform them of the rules. If they continue, seek an immortal but do not take the law into your own hands. ~ 1 KNEE~ Syntax: knee Knee is a skill which can only be used once a fight has started, and can only be used against your primary opponent.

However, to change the language in which you are speaking, you must change that manually. (See help on SPEAK). See also LANGUAGE , SPEAK ~ 1 'LAVA STORM'~ &wSyntax: &Gc lava storm <victim> &wThis spell allows you to cause damage by casting a lava storm which will rain down on your opponent, burning them and causing damage. ~ 102 LAYERS~ . &gLayers are currently available on the following wear locations: &GAbout, Arms, Body, Feet, Hands, Legs, Waist. &gLayers are set with a numeric value, or combination of values. The lower the value, the lower the layer, or thinner the item of clothing/armor is. Valid numeric values are: &G0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 102, 114, 128. &gOr any combination of the above. A value of zero means no other items came be layered with this item. Items of clothing can be layered over one another as long as their layer values do not overlap. ie, if leather armor were set to a value of 106 (8, 16, and 102), it could not layer with, say, a set of heavy chain that is set to a value of 96 (102 and 114), as they overlap on the layer value of 102. It is suggested that only those items that will occupy the highest value slots, or a slot of 0, have any special affects added to them. Underclothing should only have a.c. settings. See also OSET, AFFECTTYPES, WEARFLAGS, OBJECTFLAGS, OBJECTTYPES, ITEMVALUES, WEAPONTYPES, VARIABLES, ARMORCLASS, LAYERS2, and OMENU. ~ 102 LAYERS2~ . &gLayer Bit Vectors &G|1 | | |2|6|3|1 | | |8|4|2|6|8|4|2|1| Layer | Suggested Armor Type +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-------+--------------------------------------------- |0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0| 0 | (Default - Nothing Layers) |0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1| 1 | silk shirt, light cloth tunic (Lowest Layer) |0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0| 2 | leather vest, heavy cloth |0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0| 4 | light chainmail, padded gambeson |0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0| 6 | padded chainmail |0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0| 8 | leather jacket, reinforced chainmail |0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0| 12 | platemail, similarly rigid armor |0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0| 16 | light cloak, loose robes |0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0| 24 | heavy fur cloak |0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0| 102 | loose cloaks, surcoats |0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0| 114 | capes |1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0| 128 | magical effects (auras, clouds of dust, etc) |1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1| 235 | (Highest Layer - Nothing Layers) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-------+--------------------------------------------- &g* Thick or bulky items may need to occupy more than one layer. (example; padded chain covers 2 layers) * Any items with layer bit(s) should NOT have any/many magical effects as they will be overpowerful when mixed with other layered equipment. * Lower layers (thinner layers) should have a lower AC than higher layers. * A "body" wear position will have more layers than other positions such as "arms", "hands", "legs", and "feet". (example for "hands"; silk gloves | leather gloves | chain gauntlets) See also OSET, AFFECTTYPES, WEARFLAGS, OBJECTFLAGS, OBJECTTYPES, ITEMVALUES, WEAPONTYPES, VARIABLES, ARMORCLASS, LAYERS, and OMENU. ~ 1 LCK LUCK~ Luck (LCK in your 'score') represents the tendency of a character to succeed or prosper through chance or good fortune. As in life, the exact extent of this factor remains and will always remain shrouded in uncertainty... Also as in life, however, it can be said with surety that its influence on a character is pervasive. Though it affects some aspects of life here in a very direct manner, it can affect nearly every aspect to at least a degree. ~ 1 LEVEL 1 'ICE SHARD'~ &wSyntax: &Gc ice shard <victim> &wThis spell allows you to deal damage to your opponent by casting an ice shard that will attack them. ~ 112 LEVEL 1 CHALLENGE ~ ~ 102 LEVERFLAGS SWITCHFLAGS BUTTONFLAGS PULLCHAINFLAGS DIALFLAGS~ FLAG NAME | BITVECTOR | DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UP | 1 | Trigger is UP UNLOCK | 2 | Trigger unlocks something LOCK | 4 | Trigger locks something D_NORTH | 8 | Affects the north exit D_SOUTH | 16 | Affects the south exit D_EAST | 102 | Affects the east exit D_WEST | 114 | Affects the west exit D_UP | 128 | Affects the exit up D_DOWN | 2106 | Affects the exit down DOOR | 1012 | Affects a door CONTAINER *| 1024 | Affects a container OPEN | 2048 | Opens something CLOSE | 11096 | Closes something PASSAGE | 8192 | Creates a passage OLOAD *| 1111084 | Loads up an object MLOAD *| 102768 | Loads up a mobile TELEPORT | 11105106 | Teleports the puller TELEPORTALL *| 1101072 | Teleports everyone in the room TELEPORTPLUS *| 21121114 | Teleports everything in the room DEATH *| 10211288 | Causes instant death CAST *| 10481067 | Casts a spell (sn in value1) FAKEBLADE *| 20971102 | Lever is a wax covered sword blade (OUCH) RAND4 | 1119111004 | Randomizes the exits N, S, E, W RAND6 | 810881108 | Randomizes the exits N, S, E, W, U, D TRAPDOOR *| 16777216 | Opens a trap door, everthing falls down See OSET and ITEMVALUES. * = not yet implemented. ~ 1 LIGHT~ Syntax: light <pipe> This lights the herb in your pipe. Once lit, the herb will continue to burn until it burns itself out, is smoked out, or you tamp your pipe. ~ 1 LIMBO~ The limitless void known as Limbo is a strange plane fabricated by the Gods to hold mortals who have been rendered unconscious or have been mortally wounded. It is a well known fact that only Gods may travel here of their own volition. ~ 102 LIQUIDTYPES~ Value | Liquid Type ------------------------------ 0 | water 1 | beer 2 | wine 3 | ale 4 | dark ale 5 | whiskey 6 | lemonade 7 | firebreather 8 | local specialty 9 | slime mold juice 10 | milk 11 | tea 12 | coffee 13 | salt water 14 | cola See OSET and ITEMVALUES. ~ -1 LIZARDMAN LIZARDMEN LIZARD-MAN LIZARD-MEN 'LIZARD MAN' 'LIZARD MEN'~ Lizardmen are semi-aquatic, breathing air but often dwelling totally underwater. They are often noted to use underwater caves as their lair, and are typically found in swamps, marshes, and similar places. Members of this race band together in rough tribal form; they are omnivores, and are likely to prefer human flesh to other foods. Due to this taste for humans, they suffer if their alignment strays too much towards the honorable side of the spectrum. This race, of course, has the innate ability to breath under water. Lizard men gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 0.91 ~ 115 LOADUP~ Syntax: loadup <player> LOADUP allows one to load up a player's character (playing or not), to do whatever needs be done to the character. (Modifying a flag, changing a password... etc). Use FORCE to make the character do your bidding. If we make any changes to the char, we comment the char and place a note in their inventory explaining who loaded them up and what changes were made. The character is transed to room 99 and forced to quit there (unless they are going to be left in hell). If we don't make any changes to the char, we trans them back from where they came and force quit them there. Loadup is used primarily when a player quits to avoid dealing with immortals or if they quit before you finish writing a comment. But it is also used to investigate chars for duping and other allegations made against them. So... there is actually a wide range of reasons to use loadup and you are encouraged to use your discretion in this area. If you load up a character to slay or purge them, you must post in 1205. See FORCE ~ 0 'LOCATE OBJECT'~ Syntax: cast 'locate object' <name> This spell reveals the location of all objects with the given name. ~ 35 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. The input from the player will be displayed with a header of the players name and a percentage sign (i.e. Mudder%) SNOOP yourself to cancel all outstanding snoops. -- Do not snoop people being intimate. <i.e. Mudsex, voyeurism, etc...> -- Do not repeat information learned in snoop casually, especially to mortals -- Only snoop a person talking to a higher level Immortal with the higher Immortals "Express Permission". -- If a higher level Immortal begins communication with someone you are snooping, inform that higher Immortal immediately of the snoop. -- Any incidental references learned in snoop should be disregarded ** For example, you hear someone is having a mud affair, it is not ** important to the reason you are snooping. Do not judge or pass ** on information learned in this manner. -- "Spot check" snooping of lower level Immortals is part of being a higher level immortal. All Immortals may be snooped at any time, for any reason. -- Do not snoop for the purpose of gaining information for personal reasons. -- Being an Immortal is a privilege and a job. Snoop is a tool to assist you do your job properly. Snoop is neither a toy nor a right. ~ 1 LOYAL LOYALTY~ The item flag 'loyal' reflects a weapon's loyal status to its deadly owner. Such a weapon will return to a player's inventory when disarmed by another deadly character. Note that a weapon will only be loyal to a deadly character, and it will be loyal when disarmed by another deadly. Non-deadly characters will gain no advantage with a loyal weapon. ~ 1 MACE~ &wThis is a passive skill that allows you to use a mace. It's use is automatic once you have learned it. ~ 1 MAGIC_MISSILE~ Syntax: Cast Magic <mob> Magic Missile enables the caster to hit a victim with a blast of magic from a distance. In order to work, the conditions must be right and the victim must be visible to the caster. Attempting to hit a player with a missile will cause the caster to be branded an Attacker. Ex: If an orc were one room to the west, you could hit the orc by typing cast magic orc . ~ 100 MAKE~ Syntax: make <object> For use by clan, Order or guild leaders only to make one of the three clan, Order or guild objects. See SETCLAN ~ 106 MAKEBOARD~ Syntax: makeboard (board filename) Example: makeboard newboard.brd Used to create a board file, which can then be defined using 'bset'.

Use 'repairset' to set the parameters by which the shop will function. See REPAIRSET, REPAIRSTAT, REPAIRSHOPS ~ 104 MAKESHOP~ Syntax: makeshop <mobile vnum> Creates a new shop and assigns it to a mobile. The levels of the items in the shop are picked randomly based on item type: -------------------------------------------- |Item Type | Level Range | -------------------------------------------- | default | 0 | | pill | 0 to 10 | | potion | 0 to 10 | | scroll | value[0] of the scroll object | | wand | 10 to 20 | | staff | 15 to 25 | | armor | 5 to 15 | | weapon | 5 to 15 | -------------------------------------------- See SHOPSTAT, SHOPSET and SHOPS. ~ 107 'MANA'~ Mana is the living inner power used by Druids, Clerics, Mages, Rangers and even Thieves to cast their magic. Warriors also have mana, but do not cast spells. As undead beings, Vampires neither have nor need mana. ~ 115 MAPEDIT~ Syntax: mapedit Syntax: mapedit sector <type> Syntax: mapedit save <mapname> The mapedit command is used to make changes to the overland map system. It's a fairly involved portion of the OLC code as a whole, but is not terribly difficult to use. Typing 'mapedit' with no other arguments toggles your editor on or off. When on, any movement you make will change the sector you're moving to into whatever you have yourself set for. Think of it as "painting". To set yourself to create a sector, simply type 'mapedit sector <type>' where the type is something from the sectortypes list. Also note that while you are in edit mode, typing 'look' will cause the sector you are in to be changed. To save changes to a map, type 'mapedit save <mapname>'. If you leave out the mapname, the map you are currently on will be the one saved. ~ 103 MAPEDIT~ Syntax: mapedit Syntax: mapedit sector <type> Syntax: mapedit save <mapname> The mapedit command is used to make changes to the overland map system.

Mental states can be affected by prolonged combat, hunger, thirst, or poison. If you are affected by one of the above for a period of time, your mental state will begin to deteriorate, and you will not view your surroundings as they truly are. You may begin to hallucinate, or become too lethargic to function, and your general abilities will be affected. In extreme cases you may collapse from exhaustion or enter a delirious coma. To restore your mental state, you may need to rest (resting and sleeping will speed your recovery), eat, cure whatever poison afflicts you, etc. Note that if you are malnourished your state will &wnot&g improve, even with sleep, until you have fed and/or quenched your thirst. Your mental state is by the text line in 'score' which describes your state of mind (You feel great, etc.) The 'group' display contains a less accurate reading of your and your group-mates' mentalstates as well. Note: Changing your deity now affects your mental state.

OFIND finds all object types with a particular name. ~ 1 MINE MINING~ Syntax: mine Everyone wants to get rich quick and what better way is there than to find some precious ore digging in the mines. What you find will be able to be made into special equipment among other things. However, this comes at a price. You could strike it rich, but you will most likely be digging up rocks and dirt with the chance of causing a dangerous cave-in. Beware, this is hazardous work and is not for the weak and frail. ~ 1 MINOTAUR~ &wSyntax: &GSpeak Minotaur &wThis skill allows you to speak the language of the Minotaurs. You can learn this language at the Language Teacher (Syntax: &GLanguage Learn Minotaur&w). See also: Languages, Speak ~ 103 MINPOS~ Minimum Positions affect both spells and skills.

The same spell would not work in the resting position as it's ranked at 6. 0 POS_DEAD 1 POS_MORTAL 2 POS_INCAP 3 POS_STUNNED 4 POS_SLEEPING 5 POS_BERSERK 6 POS_RESTING 7 POS_AGGRESSIVE 8 POS_SITTING 9 POS_FIGHTING 10 POS_DEFENSIVE 11 POS_EVASIVE 12 POS_STANDING 13 POS_MOUNTED 14 POS_SHOVE 15 POS_DRAG See also : Help STYLE ~ 104 MINVOKE OINVOKE~ Syntax: minvoke <vnum> minvoke <keyword of mob> Syntax: oinvoke <vnum> oinvoke <keyword of obj> oinvoke <vnum/keyword of obj> <level> MINVOKE invokes an instance of the mobile specified. OINVOKE invokes an copy of the object specified. It accepts an optional parameter for the level of the object to be invoked. ~ -1 MIP 'MESSAGING INTERFACE PROTOCOL'~ This MUD has been optimized to support Portal's MIP (Messaging Interface Protocol) features. If you are using the Portal client software, this protocol allows the mud to trigger events on your computer in a secure manner. A few of the major features that the protocol supports: * Playing sound effects and music * Displaying still or animated images * In-game downloading of media * Tell monitoring * Channel monitoring * Much, much more! The MIP specifications were developed by GiftWicks LLC, the creators of the Portal mud client. The SMAUG support module was developed by Chris Coulter (aka Gabriel Androctus) and released to the public domain. For more information, or to download the Portal mud client, visit this site: http://www.gameaxle.com/ ~ 1 MISSILE~ Missile weapons have the unique ability to fire at one's opponent from a distance. In order to be successful, the attacker must have a weapon missile wielded (Only certain weapons are able to be missile wielded) and must have an appropriate ammunition in inventory. Example: To use a bow and arrow, one must have a bow missile wielded and have an arrow in inventory. See help &Wfire and help &Wfletch ~ 103 MISSILES~ Creating a projectile is basically the same as making any other weapon. The exception to this are its Values (see ITEMVALUES) and the need to have missiles which match missileweapons. &GFollow this basic proceedure to make a set of projectiles&W: 1) Create a firing mechanism, for instance, a long bow. 2) Set the itemtype to 'missileweapon'. 3) Set the wearflags to 'take missile' 4) Set the projectile values from the HELP ITEMVALUES table. 5) Set the Value3 (V3) from the table in HELP WEAPONTYPES. &G Now the wielded weapon is done, but you need something to fire...&W 1) Create a shootable object, for instance, an arrow. 2) Set the itemtype to 'projectile' 3) Set the wearflags to 'take'. 4) Set the projectile values from the HELP ITEMVALUES table. 5) Set the V3 to match the V3 on the firing mechanism you created. Don't forget to finish the items with weight, cost, long, short etc. You now have two objects in inventory which are ready to fire. Lastly, you may create a quiver for certain objects. To do this, set the itemtype to 'quiver', and use v0 to set its capacity. Be sure not to set the capacity too high, as quivers should be small. See also: PROJECTILES, ITEMVALUES, WEAPONTYPES and OSET. ~ 104 MLIST~ Syntax: mlist : mlist <first mob> : mlist <first mob> <last mob> This command will list all of the prototype mobs in your area, when used with no arguments.

Not only does it help this mud to get a reputable name of being an orginal, stable and always changing world but it will help to draw new players in as well. &D -------------------------------------------- &YSeason's Greetings We at Eldhamud would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. &D ~ 0 MOUNT DISMOUNT~ Syntax: mount <mob> Syntax: dismount Mount is a skill, which allows you to mount certain mobs. Being mounted on a mob cuts down on movement points that are used whenever you move. New water sectors allow a person mounted to traverse them without damage from drowning. If you are in an area where your movement points begin to drop suddenly and/or you begin to lose hps <hitpoints> quickly, you should try to mount immediately. ~ 1 MOVE MOVEMENT~ This discusses the process of moving your character from one place in the Realms to another. The common movements are north, east, south, west, up down, northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest. You may also move in these directions by the use of n, e, s, w, u, d, ne, se, sw, and nw. If you need to pass through a door, at times they require being unlocked and opened. To unlock a door, you type UNLOCK <direction or door name>. To open a door, you type OPEN <direction or door name>. At times, you may run out of movement points or require healing. To allow for faster recovery, you may SIT, REST, or SLEEP. When are finished with your recovery, and wish to continue adventuring, type WAKE or STAND.

Mortals under the mobinvis level of the mob will be unable to see the mob when it goes mobinvis; they cannot see it with any spell, it will be completely invisible to them. Be warned, however, that its programs will still function as normal, the mortal will simply see a 'someone' if it performs an action or an echo that they see, just as if a wizinvis immortal performed the action.

See also: Languages, Speak ~ 103 OLIST~ Syntax: olist : olist <first object> : olist <first object> <last object> This command will list all of the prototype objects in your area, when used with no arguments. When used with a single argument it will list all objects including and after the argument, and when used with two arguments, it will list all objects including and between the two. ~ 115 OPEN CLOSE LOCK UNLOCK PICK BOLT UNBOLT~ Syntax: open <object|direction> Syntax: close <object|direction> Syntax: lock <object|direction> Syntax: unlock <object|direction> Syntax: pick <object|direction> Syntax: bolt <direction> Syntax: unbolt <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. BOLT and UNBOLT bolt and unbolt a closed door. You must be on the side of the door that has the bolt to BOLT or UNBOLT the door. ~ 103 OPSTAT~ Syntax: opstat <object/object vnum> Opstat will display all of the objprograms that have been written for the specified object. If a copy of the object exists in the game, it can be accessed by its vnum. See OPEDIT, TRIGGER, OPTRIGGERS, OPCOMMANDS, IFCHECKS, IFCHECKS2 VARIABLES ~ 1 ORC~ &wSyntax: &GSpeak Orc &wThis skill allows you to speak the language of the Orcs. You can learn this language at the Language Teacher (Syntax: &GLanguage Learn Orc&w). See also: Languages, Speak ~ 101 OSET~ Syntax: oset <object> <field> <value> oset object on If the copy of the object you are currently modifying has the PROTOTYPE flag, your modifications will also modify the index of that object, which all other instances of the object are based on. In the future, every copy of that obj will reflect your modifications. Also be aware that modifications to the object affect list (everything that is listed after 'object values') will affect _every_ copy of that object in the game, including old copies (even if they are not online). Thus if you change a prototype-flagged copy of a sword to +4 damroll, every copy of that vnum ever made will reflect that change. If you add a 'magic' flag to that sword, however, only copies made after the change will be affected. If the copy of the object you are modifying does NOT have the PROTOTYPE flag, your modifications will affect only that copy. OSET ON will lock you onto a particular object. Once locked on, all commands commands will imply 'oset <object>'. Hitting enter while in OSET ON gives you an ostat of the object you are working on. To get out of OSET ON, simply type the word DONE. Example: oset staff on long A long gnarled staff of burnished oak lies here. type staff done See AFFECTTYPES, WEARFLAGS, OBJECTFLAGS, OBJECTTYPES, ARMORCLASS ITEMVALUES, WEAPONTYPES, VARIABLES, OMENU, LAYERS and LAYERS2 ~ 1 OVERLAND WILDERNESS 'ANSI MAP' 'ASCII MAP'~ EldhaMUD now features an ANSI map which represents the terrain features of the area between zones. There are 3 maps, one for each of the 3 continents of the planet. Travelling on them is much the same as wandering through an area, except that you can see several spaces around you as you travel. It looks something like this: &w^^^^^^^^^ ^&g*******&w^ ^&g***&WX&g***&w^ ^&g**&WX&R@&WX&g**&w^ ^&g*******&w^ ^&g*******&w^ ^^^^^^^^^&z Each of the colored symbols represents a different kind of terrain. The &R@&z symbol is you, and the &WX&z symbols are exits off of the map, either to other maps, or to regular zones such as Darkhaven. It is possible to encounter random monsters roaming the map. The map is best viewed with ANSI color turned on. ~ 103 OWHERE~ Syntax 'Owhere <object/keyword> This command will allow you to search for a certain item by using its keyword. This will list the name of the object, its' location, the name of the player(s) carrying it and the number of the objects currently online. are currently on-line. ~ 0 PAGELENGTH~ Syntax: pagelength <number of lines> This command sets your screen to only display a certain amount of lines. After setting pagelength, type clear to reinitialize your screen. ~ 0 PAGER~ Syntax: Pager <# of lines per screen> Syntax: Config +pager (turns page pausing on) Syntax: Config -pager (turns page pausing off) Syntax: Pager (toggles pager on/off) Pager is a configurable item that will pause screen scrollage at the user specified pager length. To set it, first set a desired page length using: Pager <# of lines> Initially, page length is set to 24 lines. Once page length is set, use the Config command to turn it on and off, or simply type 'pager'. Commands available within the pager are: (C)ontinue, (R)efresh, (B)ack, (Q)uit. With 'continue' being the default item. When the screen pauses, hit the enter key to continue, or type another choice and hit the enter key.

You repeat the new password only. If you do not get it correctly it will not work. This should end the typo locking you out of your character. The PASSWORD command is protected against being snooped or logged; it is impossible for any immortal to in any way see, find or retrieve it. It is the responsibility of the player to ensure that the password of the character is kept secure. Passwords can not contain certain characters, or spaces. We also advise that you use an alphanumeric password (one containing both numbers and letters) as they are harder to guess. We also recommend that you choose a password that is greater than 6 characters in length. A good rule of thumb is if it is in the dictionary, it is probably not a good password. NOTE: if you decide to trade a character, you do so at your own risk. Immortals are not responsible for ensuring fair trades. You may seek an immortal to oversee a trade, but it is not their responsibility. &YThe password policy is: password equals ownership.&w See also PASSWORD_ZMUD ~ 0 PCOLORS 'PROMPT COLORS'~ The following are the tags used for adding color in your text. Foreground text tag: && Tokens for foreground text are: &&x - Black &&r - &rDark Red&D &&g - &gDark Green&D &&O - &OOrange (brown)&D &&b - &bDark Blue&D &&p - &pPurple&D &&c - &cCyan&D &&w - &wGrey&D &&z - &zDark Grey&D &&R - &RRed&D &&G - &GGreen&D &&Y - &YYellow&D &&B - &BBlue&D &&P - &PPink&D &&C - &CLight Blue&D &&W - &WWhite&D &&v or &&V - &vReverse the colors.&D &&u or &&U - &uUnderline the text.&D &&i or &&I - &iItalicize the text.&D &&s or &&S - &sStrikeover text.&D &&D - Resets to custom color for whatever is being displayed. &&d - Resets to terminal default color.

The same holds for italic or underlined text as well. The &&d tag should only be used when absolutely necessary. Background color tag: ^^ Tokens for background color are: ^^x - Black ^^r - Red ^^g - Green ^^O - Orange ^^b - Blue ^^p - Purple ^^c - Cyan ^^w - Grey If setting both foreground and background colors. The foreground must be used before the background color. Also, the last color setting in your prompt will wash over into the text you type. So, if you want a set of colors for your typed text, include that at the end of your prompt set. Example (assuming current h.p.'s of 113 and mana of 23): Prompt &&Y^^b<%h/&&x^^r%m>&&w^^x = <113/23> {A} {B} {C} A) Yellow with blue background. B) Black with dark red background. C) Light Grey with black background. See also: PROMPT, ANSI&D ~ 35 PCRENAME~ syntax pcrename <oldname> <newname> This command permanently changes a players name and should be used sparingly.

Use of the skill is automatic when you 'look' at a character after you have practiced the skill. ~ 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. See also &WHelp PETSAVE &w ~ 1 PETSAVE~ Petsaving is automatic in the Realms. When you purchase a pet, it is loyal to you until its' death. Your pet will automatically save when you save and quit when you quit. If you die, your pet may still live and vice-versa. Pets remain loyal until they die or until you purchase a new pet. If you lose link your pet may be killed without you around to protect it. In no instances will pets be reimbursed. Do not even ask. *** You may only purchase one pet per level *** ~ 107 'PICK LOCK'~ This skill enables you to pick open locked doors. ~ 101 PIPEFLAG~ The following flags may be used with the item type pipe in the v3 item value: PIPE_TAMPEDPipe has been tamped (not really used yet) PIPE_LITPipe is lit (required for smoking) PIPE_HOTPipe is hot PIPE_DIRTYPipe is dirty (not really used yet) PIPE_FILTHYPipe is REALLY dirty (not used at all yet) PIPE_GOINGOUTPipe is about to go out PIPE_BURNTNot used yet.

It permanently reduces the armor class of the item and reduces the value of the armor. ~ 0 PIXIE PIXIES~ Pixies are small Elfin creatures with gossamer wings. They are very much more intelligent than most other races, but their strength and constitution suffers from their small size. Because of this, the Pixie often choose the calling of magic and excels especially in the arts of the Mage; the mind of the Pixie knows no equal. Pixies possess the obvious ability of flight. Pixies are slight of stature, standing less than five feet in height. Both their skin and hair color varies from among all the colors of the rainbow. Pixies gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.08. ~ 0 'PLANT PASS'~ Syntax: cast 'plant pass' <victim> This spell allows the caster to merge with nearby foliage, and flow through it to emerge near the victim. Obviously this spell requires a good deal of natural foliage in both the caster's and the victim's location. ~ 0 POISON~ Syntax: cast poison <victim> This spell reduces the strength of the victim by two, as well as reducing the victim's regeneration rate. ~ 1 POLEARM~ &wThis is a passive skill that allows you to use a polearm.

After this initial practice, the skill/spell must be used to develop it to the level of 'adept' (Adept is not always necessarily 100%) You must be at a guild master to practice. The higher your wisdom, the more practice sessions you will have each time you gain a level. Unused sessions are saved until you do use them. All characters may practice skills, spells, and weapons in the Academy. For more information on spell, skills, weapons, and practicing, read section 15 of your Adventurer's Guide book. ~ 101 PROJECT~ Syntax: project -- same as project list project save project list [available] project code --- Lists approved projects with no coders project mine -- Lists all projects that you own or are the coder project more --- Lists projects as well as coder/log info project add <name> project <number> coder --- Assigns you as the coder of a project project <number> delete project <number> take project <number> log write project <number> log subject <subject> project <number> log post project <number> log list project <number> log <number> read project <number> log <number> delete project <number> description --- Buffer to describe the project project <number> show -- shows description of the project You can remove yourself as a coder or owner by repeating the command.

Projectiles have several forms, those being bow & arrow; crossbow & bolt; sling & stone; peashooter & pebble: tube & dart. All are used in a similar manner. You must first be wielding the weapon which will perform the action of firing the intended object. To do this, simply 'wield <weaponname> missile'. This will place the bow, sling or other firing mechanism in the location 'missile wielded', which you will see when you type 'eq'. You must have a type of projectile in your inventory, this being an arrow, rock, bolt, pebble or other projectile(s). You must have practiced 'missile weapons' in order to wield a firing mechanism. If you do not practice it, you will not be able to fire. Lastly, provided you have a projectile in inventory, and a firing weapon wielded in the 'missile wielded' position, you are ready to try out your new projectile. Note that firing a weapon at another player will result in a pkill attempt, which can have severe consequences. If you and your mortal target are not both listed under "Who Deadly", you will be confronted by an immortal for your actions and flagged as a violater of Realms Law. See &YLaws Pkill&W for more information on players vs. players. ~ 103 PROJECTILETYPES~ 0 PROJ_BOLT, 1 PROJ_ARROW, 2 PROJ_DART, 3 PROJ_STONE, ~ 0 PROMPT FPROMPT~ Syntax: prompt <string> Syntax: fprompt <string> Sets your prompt to a given string. The game automatically sets your prompt when your character is created, but you can use PROMPT to change your prompt to more to your liking. If you type 'default' as the string, your prompt will be set back to the game default. The fprompt sets your fighting prompt. This is the prompt that is displayed to you while you are fighting. It follows the same format as the normal prompt does. Your prompt can be any string of characters that you wish. You can also embed special characters and tokens into the string that you set. These special characters are linked with specific groups of tokens. These tokens will add specific sets of information to your prompt. The first special character is: % Tokens for % are: %h - current hitpoints %m - current mana (0 for vamp) %H - maximum hitpoints %M - maximum mana (0 for vamp) %b - current blood (0 for non-vamp) %v - current movement %B - maximum blood (0 for non-vamp) %V - maximum movement %g - gold held %x - current experience %a - your alignment %X - experience needed to next level %A - invisible/hide/sneak indicator %S - your current combat style The other special characters are: && - Foreground color ^^ - Background color Examples (assuming current hit points of 113, mana of 23, and movement of 120): Prompt %h%m%v = 1110210120 Prompt <%h|%m|%v>>> = <113|23|120>>> Prompt %h %m %v = 113 23 120 Please see HELP PCOLORS for a list of the color tokens.

Each class has different maximum proficiencies with different types of arms, i.e. the best choice for mages are 'short blades, while a cleric's best choice is with 'bludgeons.' Proficiency of less than 100% with a given weapon type means that damage inflicted is less than "average", while proficiency greater than 100% increases your damage per hit. These skills are automatic: you need not type anything to invoke them. "Pugilism" affects your proficiency with otherwise unclassified weapons. ~ 0 PULL PUSH LEVERS PULLCHAINS SWITCHES BUTTONS~ Syntax: pull <trigger> Syntax: push <trigger> Levers, switches, pullchains and buttons can do all sorts of interesting things... open or unlock doors, change exits around, teleport you to another location, cast a spell, summon a monster... you name it! ~ 101 PULLTYPES~ &YSyntax&W: redit pushtype <direction> <type> &YSyntax&W: redit push <direction> <force> Where type is equal to Current, Wave, Whirlpool, Geyser, Wind, Storm, and Vortex, to name a few .

The frequency of the push is controlled by the value set in redit push <force>, and may be anything from -100 to 100. Positive and negative values represent pulling and pushing, respectively. The more positive (or negative) the number is, the sooner the force will push or pull you. ~ 1 PUNCH~ Syntax: punch Punch is a skill which can only be used once a fight has started, and can only be used against your primary opponent. If it successfully lands, it inflicts damage on your opponent. ~ 107 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. ~ 0 QUEST~ Syntax: quest <command> QUEST commands: POINTS INFO TIME REQUEST REFUSE COMPLETE LIST BUY ENHANCEMENT. In Athelstan, adventurers are able to better their characters through questing. This can keep someone quite busy if they choose to partake in the quests available to the brave adventurers of the land. If this doesn't apply to you, then you're better off doing something else, but if you are courageous enough, then this is the way to go. You must first seek out and find a Quest Master. Only after you have done this may you begin in your adventures. ~ 1 QUESTS QUESTING~ . Quests are run at random times for different groups of players within the realms. They may involve anything from a scavenger hunt, to solving riddles, to killing mobs that threaten the Realms. Quests are an excellent way to meet other players, and enhance roleplaying throught the realm. Different quests will result in different awards. Awards are up to the discretion of the immortal running the quest. Some things to remember while questing: &W-&GWe are volunteers, and choose to run quests. If you have criticisms of the quest, or the person running the quest, please be constructive and vent your concerns in an appropriate forum - in the Hall of Heroes located in the Darkhaven Town Hall. &W-&GDo not ask when the next quest will be, or if there is a quest. Just pay attention to channels and what is going on around you. If something out of the ordinary is going on, there's a good chance it might be a quest. &W-&GUnless explicitly stated, Multi-playing is &YNOT&G allowed during quests. IF you are caught multi-playing, you will forfeit any reward, and most likely have a temporary ban from questing placed on the characters involved &CSee Also:&YQUEST, GLORY, GLORY RATES, GLORY TRADE ~ 1 QUIT~ Syntax: QUIT QUIT leaves the game. You may QUIT anywhere. When you re-enter the game you will be back in the same room, unless that room has a prog that moves you upon re-entry. QUIT automatically does a SAVE, so you can safely leave 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 regret it. There is no RENT here. Just SAVE and QUIT whenever you want to leave. ~ 0 RACE RACES~ There are currently 14 known races existing within these Realms. Type "help [race]" for specific information on the specified race: Human ...... the generic race, with no inherent strengths or weaknesses.

Drow........ cousins of the elf, with a drawing to magic and casting spells. Lizardmen... given to tribal living, stronger in mind than in body. Gnome....... Demi-human creatures, well suited for magic and religion. ~ 2 RACETALK~ Syntax: racetalk <message> The racetalk channel will send your message to all the members of your race currently online. This channel can be used to roleplay in accordance with the characteristics of your race, to plan runs or grouping with a more focused body of players, or for general chatter. Please note that racetalk is partially designed to promote roleplaying, so attempting to limit yourself to the characteristics of your race may enhance your enjoyment of the mud, and may provide a unique experience for those who have never roleplayed previously. ~ 108 RASSIGN MASSIGN OASSIGN~ Syntax: rassign oassign massign > Steps for creating a new area from scratch; > 1. checkvnum rooms low_vnum hi_vnum > checkvnum objects low_vnum hi_vnum > checkvnum mobs low_vnum hi_vnum > (make sure the vnums don't overlap another area) > 2. rassign (person) low_vnum hi_vnum > massign (person) low_vnum hi_vnum > oassign (person) low_vnum hi_vnum > 3. mset (person) aloaded yes > 4. goto low_vnum > goto hi_vnum > 5. savea > 6. save > > This should create a new area listed as '{PROTO} (Person)'s area in > progress', with the file name '(person).are' and it should load up after > rebooting the MUD with 'loadarea' or 'loadarea (person).are' if it's not > your area. NEVER do this to someone who has an area assigned to them. This would change the range for the area they have assigned and wipe out the area. ~ 108 RAT~ Syntax: rat vnum1 vnum2 command [parameters] Rat, or 'range at' is the at command with the added parameters of two room vnums. Assuming the vnums are valid, your 'at' command will be executed in every room in the range you give. Example: rat 100 110 redit flags 0 This will clear the room flags in all rooms from 100 to 110 inclusive. ~ 108 REBOOT SHUTDOWN WIZLOCK~ Syntax: reboot <nosave> Syntax: shutdown <nosave> Syntax: wizlock 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 101 may not log in. Players who lose their links, however, may reconnect. If nosave is specified for reboot or shutdown, it will not automatically save all of the players. ~ 1 RECALL~ With a scroll or potion of 'word of recall' you can instantly return from most areas to your attuned recall spot (Thoth's Rune in Darkhaven for any those who are not deadly, clanned or a member of an Order or Guild). Scrolls of recall are available in Darkhaven's section of magic shoppes. See also: 'word of recall' ~ 0 'RECHARGE'~ Syntax: cast 'recharge' <wand/staff> This spell is used to recharge wands and staves after use.

REDIT ON will lock you into a mode in which 'redit' is implied in each command sequence, and hitting enter will give you an instant rstat of whichever room you are in at the time. To get out of REDIT ON, simply type the word DONE.

Wedding renames are done with a marriage license by Blorin, the Darkhaven engraver. (See help wedding) Renames are to be medieval in style for mortals and must not contain the name of an immortal without their expressed consent. Items will not be renamed to machine gun, silly putty, etc. Before contacting an immortal to redeem glory or scrolls for a rename, please have in mind what you would like done. You will need to consider the following: Short description - what is seen when the item is worn by a person. Long description - what is seen when the item is lying on the ground. Rekey - the renaming of the item (usually something from the short desc) ~ 1 REPAIR~ Syntax: repair <object> repair all Repair allows you to repair equipment and swords at metal blacksmiths, and recharge staves and wands at magical 'blacksmiths.'

TIME shows the game time, as well as the time the mud was last started, and the current local time for the host computer. WEATHER shows the current game weather. You must be in an outside room to see the weather. ~ 101 RESERVE~ . The "Reserve" command enables us to specify certain names that are reserved and cannot be used by players. We can specify names that we want to reserve because they belong to former imms (like Narn and Dominus). We can specify names that are often tried and are a bit of a pain (like Killer or Satan or Seth). We can specify parts of names by preceding the string with an "*"> e.g. reserve *goof This will prevent any name with the substring "goof" ... like ... "goofface", "biggoof" or "biggoofface".

RESTORE ALL does this for all mortals except player killers and any who happen to be in the arena.

The best way to ensure that a restore all will NOT be done is to ask for one. ~ 103 RESTORETIME~ Restoretime shows you how much time has passed since you last did a restore all. All Immortals between the levels of 103 and 106 can do one restore all per 18 hours of Real Time.

A sample salve is available in vnum 21084) ~ 1 SAVE~ Syntax: Save SAVE saves your character and its inventory; you must be at least second level to save. The system automatically saves approximately one character every minute, but with the high number of players usually online it may take hours before your own is auto-saved. For this reason, you should not rely on auto-save to keep your character updated -- save frequently. Type SAVE immediately after recovering your corpse, gaining experience or a level in battle, getting new items, making purchases or repairs, etc. Some objects (such as keys) may not be saved. You cannot SAVE and QUIT with objects of a higher level than your own, as they will vanish when you log out. Every character is auto-saved at reboot. ~ 1 SAVE POSITIONS~ At current time, there are 14 "positions" in the game. Positions are in a special order. If position b is below position a on the list, that indicates that while in position b, you have more physical or mental energy to spend on a task, be it a command, a spell, or a skill. For example, while standing, you have a greater ability to do things than while sitting. While fighting evasively, you have more options than while fighting aggressively. The ordered list is as follows, left to right, top to bottom: Dead Mortally Wounded Incapacitated Stunned Sleeping Fighting (Berserk) Resting Fighting (Aggressive) Sitting Fighting (Std)Fighting (Defensive) Fighting (Evasive) Standing Mounted See Also: STYLES ~ 102 SAVEAREA LOADAREA~ Syntax: savearea loadarea Savearea and loadarea will save or load your prototype area. ~ 103 SAVINGTHROWS~ Saving throws: sav1 - Saving vs. poison or death sav2 - Saving vs. wands sav3 - Saving vs. paralysis or petrification sav4 - Saving vs. breath sav5 - Saving vs. spells or staves See MSET or type MSET by itself. ~ 1 'SCAN'~ Syntax: scan <direction> This skill enables you to scan for one or more rooms in the direction specified, dependent on the percent to which the skill is practiced, and the type of area you are in. ~ 1 'SCORCHING SURGE~ Syntax: c 'scorching surge' <victim> Abbrev: c scorching, c scorch A powerful wave of heat created by an Augurer and directed at its victim.

The race is humanoid in appearance, with gill slits on the throat and greenish-silver skin and green or blue-green hair. Sea elves have an inate ability to notice magical auras as well as breath under water. Sea-elves gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.12 ~ 0 SEARCH~ Syntax: search Syntax: search <container> Sometimes not all there is to find is in clear view.

The command is fairly straightforward. To create a new exit, simply type 'setexit create' while standing on your overland map. To delete an existing exit, simply type 'setexit delete' while standing on the coordinates of the exit sector. You will probably need to use the 'coords' command to move onto the exit sector. To set an exit from the map into a regular zone, type 'setexit <vnum>' where vnum is the target room's vnum. To set an exit from one map to another map, type 'setexit map <mapname> <X> <Y>' where mapname is the name you gave to the target map, x is the target x coordinate, and y is the target y coordinate. Any manipulation of an exit automatically saves the entrances.dat file to disk, so there is no need to worry about saving that file.

When editing the description, keep it as short as possible, do not capitalize words unless referring to names, and do not add punctuation to the end of the line. To change the description, go to the landmark coordinates and type: setmark desc <text>, Where <text> is the description you want. Distance is the number of spaces the landmark is visible from on the overland. Try not to make the distance too large, or too small. Anything visible for more than 50 or so spaces is most likely too large - unless the landmark is intended to display a large geographical feature such as a mountain.

Spam is the repeated use of a phrase, command, or channel that causes screen scroll for others.

The game will also tell you to PUT A LID ON IT and force-quit you after the 20th repeat of a single command It is also considered spam to use the same phrase over several different channels. The use of all-caps can also be considered spam. Only use capitals to add emphasis to key words in a sentence. Moving a large number of items into and out of a container in a crowded, non-store room is considered spam. Using multiple characters to chat the same message at the same time is considered spam. Making charmed mobs or pets to cause screen scroll through movement or orders is considered spam.

You can learn the multiple casting skills out of order, but it is highly inpratical to do so. ~ 0 TICK~ Many of the actions in the Realms 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 in these Realms average 110 seconds of real time, but the actual amount varies randomly from 115 seconds to 75 seconds. Area resetting happens roughly every 3 minutes if there are no characters in in the area; less often (15 minutes) if any characters are present; Also, some lower level areas have shorter reset periods, while some higher level areas have longer reset periods. Note that objects lying on the ground will not be regenerated if anyone is in the area when it resets. Area resets are indicated by 'squeaking noises' or other messages just prior to the reset itself. ~ 101 TIMER~ Associated help files: help corpse, help imm cr, help bodybag 101 to 110 "is lying here." 23 to 100 "is buzzing with flies." 15 to 22 "fills the air with a foul stench." 07 to 14 "is crawling with vermin." 01 to 06 "is in the last stages of decay."

To exchange the token, go to the NPC designated as the token exchanger and give the token to it. You will be rewarded upon exchange. ~ 101 TONGUE TONGUES~ The different PC languages include common, elvish, dwarven, pixie, ogre, orcish, trollese, goblin, halfling and gith.

Truesight cannot be cast on anyone but the caster itself. ~ 110 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, et cetera.

A trust of 0 means to use the character's natural level again. ~ 1 TUMBLE~ Syntax: operates independently Tumble is a high-level thief skill for the evasion of incoming attacks.

Therefore, a mpforce to remove the item will not work in the use_prog. You will have to use a wear trigger to accomplish this. ~ 104 USERS~ Syntax: users <host ip> Syntax: users <playername> USERS reports all of the visible users connected to the server, including users in the process of logging in. If used with an argument, it will show all users from that host ip. Shortforms of host will work -- e.x. 205, or 205.113, etc. Shortened names will also work. e.x., users fre would show Fredrick and Fred if they were on at the time. The first number, (desc), is the descriptor number that this user is on. The second number is the user's connected state. (See CONSTATES) The third number is the number of seconds the user has been idle. The fourth number is the remote TCP port on the user's host machine. Next is the user's character name, then the user's host address. (Usually the IP number as name resolving is normally disabled.) The FORCECLOSE command can be used to force a connect to close by its descriptor number. ~ 0 VALIANCE~ This spell increases your perserverence when you are on the verge of losing consciousness. ~ 0 'VALLEY ELF'~ Valley elves are as tall as most humans. They are thin and have sharp and pointed features. They are reclusive and resent intrusion. All other sorts of elves, including the drow, shun valley elves. The latter, in turn, dislike association with any races save perhaps gnomekind, whom they tolerate. ~ 0 VAMPIRE VAMPIRES~ . Vampires are one of the powerful creatures of the Realms. Being a creature of the undead, they require copious quantities of fresh blood. Instead of using mana, Vampires use blood points (bp) for spell casting. If a Vampire takes a large amount of damage, Blood points will be lost, but, Blood points can give a small surge of hit points (hp) in battle when needed. As a undead creature of the night, Vampires recieve an armor class (ac) bonus at night, a time when they can use the skill mistwalk.

It is most often used for those who declare war on other deadlies and is desirable for those who like to invite others to battles in player versus player whether it be in the arena or around the Realms. Wartalk can be seen by all players in the game, and has the same rules as other channels. No harassment, profanity, spamming, or inappropriate subject matter. ~ 108 WARN ~ Syntax: warn class <field> Syntax: warn race <field> Syntax: warn site <field> Field is either #(ban_number) or the site/class/race.

A warrior must be strong in body to survive his dangerous lifestyle, and though he has no magic and limited skills he is nevertheless a formidable force with which to be reckoned. Warriors learn no magic, and have no use for mana. ~ 101 WATCH~ . &w &W Syntax: &G watch &W Shows you a help screen &W Syntax: &G watch size &W Shows the size of your watch file &W Syntax: &G watch clear &W Deletes your watch file &W Syntax: &G watch show &W Shows all your active watches &W Syntax: &G watch player <name> &W Starts watching a player &W Syntax: &G watch site <site> &W Starts watching all players from site &W Syntax: &G watch delete <number> &W Stops a watch &W Syntax: &G watch print 1 &W Shows file starting at line 1 &W Syntax: &G watch print 1000 &W Shows file starting at line 1000 &W Syntax: &G watch print 1000 100 &W Shows 100 lines starting at line 1000 Watch will work 24 hours a day from the time you put a watch on a player until you take it off. You can also watch all players from a specific site. We need you to be real careful about the size of your watch file. If you are watching a number of players or sites, please do not just forget about your watches and allow your watch file to grow to outrageous sizes. You should never have more than 5,000 or 10,000 lines in your watch file. If you are doing some watching, be sure you check your watch file daily and either print it, display it, copy it to your hard drive or do whatever you need to do with it but then ... please ... please ... be sure you clear it so that it don't grow huge and eat up all our hard drive space. If you clear your watch file daily ... there should be no problem. If you aren't watching anyone ... you don't have to worry about this. But if you start a watch, it is your responsibility to know how big your watch file is and to stop the watch when you no longer need it. The command &G"watch size" &W tells you how many lines are in your watch file. The command &G"watch clear"&W clears (deletes) your watch file. For the time being the maximum number of lines you can display at one time is 1000. So ... even if you have 5,000 lines in your watch file ... you can only display 1,000 at a time. ~ 1 WEAKEN~ Syntax: cast weaken <victim> This spell reduces the strength of the victim by two points. ~ 103 WEAPONCONDITION WEAPONCONDITIONS~ Value0 Condition ------ --------- 12 in superb condition. 11 in excellent condition. 10 in very good condition. 9 in good shape. 8 showing a bit of wear. 7 a little run down. 6 in need of repair. 5 in great need of repair. 4 in dire need of repair. 3 very badly worn. 2 practically worthless. 1 almost broken. 0 broken.

To use a weapon, simply 'wield <weapon name>'. You will hit more frequently with a weapon which is suited to your class, so choose your weapon wisely. For instance, mages use short blades at 95% efficiency. A mage wielding a long blade would hit his/her target less frequently, dependant upon the hitroll of the weapon in hand. Also, be sure to practice and adept your favored weapontype for best results. ~ 103 WEAPONTYPES~ For items of type "weapon", the value4 field specifies the weapon type: Value4 | Type --------------------------------------------------------- 00 | barehand 01 | sword 02 | dagger 03 | whip 04 | talon (talonous arms) 05 | mace (includes hammer) 06 | archery (includes arrows and crossbow bolts) 07 | blowgun 08 | sling 09 | axe 10 | spear 11 | staff 12 | polearm See also: OSET, MISSILES, WEAPONCONDITION, ITEMVALUES, DAMAGETYPES ~ 103 WEARFLAGS~ These flags should be self explanatory: take finger neck body head legs feet hands arms shield about waist wrist wield hold ears eyes See OSET, RESETCMDS, and ARMORCLASS. ~ 103 WEARLOCS~ Here are the various locations where items may be equipped: --------------------------------------------------------- | 0 | light | 1 | finger1 | 2 | finger2 | | 3 | neck1 | 4 | neck2 | 5 | body | | 6 | head | 7 | legs | 8 | feet | | 9 | hands | 10 | arms | 11 | shield | | 12 | about | 13 | waist | 14 | wrist1 | | 15 | wrist2 | 16 | wield | 17 | hold | | 18 | dual_wield | 19 | ears | 20 | eyes | --------------------------------------------------------- See RESETS and RESETCMDS. ~ 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.

When your character takes damage that reduces your hit points below your wimpy value, you will automatically attempt to flee. 'Wimpy' by itself sets your wimpy to about 20% your maximum hitpoints. 'Wimpy <value>' allows you to set your wimpy at a level you determine, but it cannot exceed about 75% of your maximum hitpoints. 'Wimpy max' sets your wimpy at its maximum level for you. Some monsters are wimpy.

When the use of wizinvis is called for, the following are parameters for its use: - Immortals level 101 through 104 should be visible at all times, save for when snooping, running a quest or some similar circumstance. - Immortals level 35 and up may invis to any level at their discretion. Guidelines for use of wizinvis by 35 and higher: It is considered mandatory to be visible to all other immortals whenever reasonably able to do so. Using wizinvis beyond 101 to facilitate work on a project, allow concentration on something, avoid excessive tells or the like is fine, but it should only be used while necessary. Guidelines for use of wizinvis beyond 101 in immortal channels: Sightings of Someones in immortal channels should be kept to a minimum. If you are free enough to be able to use an immortal channel, you should be visible to the lowest immortal in that channel; no higher than 104 in Muse, no higher than 101 in immtalk, etc. Being a Someone to anyone on an immortal channel should only occur if you're too tied up to go visible but need to make a comment. The same applies to all situations using channels, tells or actions. Avoid being a Someone to mortals and immortals alike unless you have a good reason to do otherwise. ~ 0 WIZLIST~ IMPlementors (The head honchos.)
