your opponent. If you hit your opponent too hard on the finishing

`=? cast <spell>`+

`+
Spell casters are divided into three different categories for IC, or In
Character, reasons. Magi/Spellfilchers `rcast`=? spells, Clerics/Paladins `ccommune`=?
spells, and druids/rangers `ysummon`=? spells. For reasons of making everything
more simplistic, all classes can use "c" to cast spells and not worry about
the differing syntax.`+
`+
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.`+
`+
Some spells make require parameters, or targets of the spell, in order to be
cast properly. Many spells which need targets will use an appropriate
default target, especially during combat. When starting combat with a combat
spell, a target is required.`+
`+
If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name.
Example: cast 'cure critical' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word
spells. Also, you can abbreviate the spell names, but be careful about
which ones you abbreviate. Example: cast 'fire' frag will most likely not
cast fire shield on your allie, but rather cast a fireball. `+
`+
When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving throw.
The effect of the spell is reduced or eliminated if the victim makes the
saving throw successfully. In order to find out what a spell does, check
the help file for individual spells.

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

You can also use emotes, pmotes, amotes and smotes as a single

If you place a * in the emote, it will replace your character's
short description for the * wherever it is.
Also, if you put a @ in an emote, the first word of the emote will
be used as its target, and wherever there is a @, it will be replaced
for the target's short description.
example:
emote Auryan looking up, * sighs and turns at @
would result on:
Looking up, a tall man with a dark beard sighs and turns at a blonde
woman with a childlike face.
Starting an emote with a # will cause the rps system to ignore it...
on Dawn the RPS audit system prevented people from spamming emotes to
get RPS, so if you want to alias a social into a specific emote, it is
recommended to put a # at the start of the emote. The # will silently

Append is an advanced and much more powerful form of the

edited, formatted, replaced, cleared, or shown, as per the
following commands.
If you do not have a description, you may just begin entering
your description. After you are finished, press enter to go to
a blank line. If you make a typo, you can use the replace
command to replace the word, or even a whole sentence. When
you are finished, and there are no typos, use the format
command to format the lines to a regulated size. This also
makes the description look much cleaner. Upon formatting, when
you feel you are finished, hit enter to go to a blank line then
type @ and press enter to save your description.
If you already have a description, any line you type upon
entering will be added to the bottom of the current description.
If you wish to start from scratch, use the clear command. Use
the above instructions for completing the description.
Commands:
.r 'old string' 'new string' - replaces a given word or string
of words. (The quotes are
REQUIRED.)
.h - The help screen, shows a quick list of commands available
in the append mode.
.s - Shows your current description as you have entered it.
.f - Format and wordwrap your description to a regulated size.
.n - Note format and wordwrap your description to a regulated size.
a note format doesn't put 2 spaces after a fullstop, this has
the advantage of not converting email addresses into
someone@somewhere. Com.
.c - Clear the description. Everything. (CAUTION: There is NO
warning issued with this command. Be careful.)

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