Punch: Bare knuckle brawling is the best type of fun any can find!
Punch aids those that can not seem to hang onto their weapon in
battle, or those that do not wish to wield a weapon at all.
The skill bare hand aids in this offensive skill greatly along
with any str bonus that might be applied. Those that wear
gloves of some sort have been known to knock an opponent down
to his knees, only to never see the light of day.

the relative value of the object and information that is

weapon class, for the fighters that can specialize in that
class. For a torch, it will give the hours left to burn.

not the same, it is time to get the armour repaired. This
can also be done by just looking at the armour.

a door by the shear force aplied by hurling their body into it.
This is a tiring skill and can even damage you if not careful.

allowed for their position. It also has been known to help with ones
hunger, thirst and even from time to time affect armour class and makes one

#
ALLCOMMANDS
This will give you a list of all the commands that are available
to you at this moment.
#
"ANIMATE DEAD" ANIMATEDEAD
Bringing forth a undead shell of the being which once lived is frowned
upon by most in the realm.
#
APPEAR
This command willfully dispells a invisibility spell. Ironhands claim.
#
ARMOUR
This incantation allows the caster to bring forth a invisible suit of
magical protection that seems to allow protection even if the caster
wears other forms of armour or protection. It is known that a higher
level mages magical armour will hold its consistancy much longer than
one of lower level.
The prayer for this spell seems to work much the same as several priests
and mages have consulted and tested upon it.
Duration: Level of the Best Magic Class. See Note.
Damage: None
Special: AC is reduced by 2. Note, this may not be shown by what is on your
score. Internally the AC is done by -100 <-> 100, not -10 <-> 10
so rounding does occur for the the score command. But it is a good
approximation as to your ac.
Note: Since this is a shared spell between mages and clerics, the duration
is calculated as per the best level of the two. Not necessarily the
class in which you practiced it first.
#
"ARMOUR CLASS" ARMOURCLASS AC

their foe. The armour that one wears upon his body also helps blunt the
strike of a foes weapon.
#
ASSIST
If you type assist <player> you will begin fighting the same
person the <player> is.
ASSIST is similar to RESCUE except the <player> continues fighting.
It is better than KILL in many cases because you do not have to choose
between 1.golem and 2.golem (or 1.lamia that just entered the room).
Even though monsters of the same type assist each other in combat,
ASSIST is better because you will eliminate one aggressor much faster.

#
"ASTRAL WALK" ASTRALWALK

realm from which one can go almost anywhere on the known world. The
prayer is rather draining and takes some time to cast although those

#
SKILL SKILLS
There is a new commands added called skills, it will show you
your rating in the new skills for the game.
There are new skills included in the game and there should more
to come with time. The tutor in various towns can teach you these
skills and perhaps even commoners you may adventure to find.
Skills have been broken up into two categories.
1. Passive
2. Active
Passive skills are those that are always being used without you having
to issue a specific command to make them act on you or another. Various
rolls are made against your knowledge of the skills to see if they aid
you in what every action you are taking. Never will a skill hinder you
if you fail a roll, the most you can expect is that the normal affects
will take place as if you never had the skill at all.
Active skills are those that you must invoke on your own. These skills
are activated by using the skill name and usually including an arguement
for the skill to act on.
See ACTIVE, PASSIVE for a skill list
#
PASSIVE
Swimming : If proficient in swimming, the player having this passive skill
will not have to spend as much movement while moving through shallow water.
Water that normally can be walked through, not water that is too deep and
requires a boat to traverse. This skills is benefitial if you must leave
your frigate off of shore due to the shallows. Yes, frigates are being
made for cross ocean journeys.
Endurance: A player proficient with endurance has a good chance of
maintaining his/her stamina in a fight. This skill coincides with a
players constitution and what percent of their hits have been left.
All classes will benefit from this skill.
Deciphering: This skill aids those that wish to read the arcane works of
magic and have a better chance of understanding the spell that is written.
All classes will benefit from this skill. Because you are a castor does
not mean you have the ability to read other spells besides the ones you
know. Essentially this is the fabled 'READ MAGIC' but applies to all
classes that wish to use scrolls other then recall.
Two_Hand: All characters may and most likely will wield weapons two-handed
in this world. A mage can apply this to a staff, a cleric to a hammer..
you get the point. Because you wield a weapon two-handed, you may not
use a shield nor hold something in your hand, punch will not work while
doing this also. This skill improves the chance that you will maintain
your grip on your weapon when a foe tries to disarm you, it will also aid
you in damaging your enemy slightly more since you are now applying all
of your upper body to the blow. Characters and still be disarmed even
with this skill though, no one is 100% proficient.
Bare_Hand: All characters may attack with no weapon at all, doing minor damage
plus any additional strength that might apply. With this skill a player has
essentially learned how to box and can now utilize this knowledge when faced
with a battle without a weapon. This skill also works along with the skill
punch, aiding in accuracy and force for the blow.
Spell_Craft: A spell caster with this skill has the chance to understand a
spell even better once successfully cast. When a player successfully casts
a spell, a 2% bonus is added on up until 50% in the spell is achieved.
The skill Spell Craft will add in an extra amount to this percent based
on how well you know this art.
Meditation: The act of meditating and being able to focus ones self aids in
the recovery of both mana and health, a player with meditation can earn
these two amounts back faster while resting or sleeping. A must for any
that wishes to stay in style with the monks of the redspines.
#
MOUNT
This command goes along with the RIDING skill you may learn.
When you find a beast you wish to try and mount, type...
mount <beast name>
Depending on how well you know riding, and the disposition of the
creature will determine if you are able to ride it or not.
When mounted, you lose no movement points, except for those in
combat, you have some spell capabilities, and some skills will
not be usable when mounted, the same will apply towards some
skills that are not usable to a person when mounted.
You do not have control of the beast to the point of being able
to issue orders to it, you may however simply type the direction
you wish to travel and the mount shall carry you there.
This is still experimental, all bug reports are welcome and encourged
to help get this ironed out as fast as possible. Comments and suggestions
are also welcome.
I am planning on make a stable, where you may take your mount (pet?)
to be boarded, this way you can come back on the game and pick you
mount (pet?) up with ot having to venture out to find another.
#
SPELL SPELLS
Spells are the backbone of the magic user and the strict guidelines of
many cleric religions. Spells which a magic-using class can use are
listed in the practices when one gains a level in their magic-using class.
Clerics will find being extremely good will allow them to heal the
appropriate amount while being evil will allow the cleric to harm targets
quite well, yet they will suffer in their healing abilities.
Please do not be dismayed about not seeing a entire spell list, simply
ask those that are of higher levels if your curiousity gets the best of
you.
One can find out more about spells by 'help <spell>', if the reply comes
back not in the help files please 'bug <spell name>'.
Cyric and staff have taken great aims to make the spells in Wiley as
close to the spells on would find in any players handbook for AD&D. If
you find that a spell is totally different than one you would find within,
please 'bug <problem>'.
More spells are being added constantly for all magic-using classes,
if you would like to see a unusual spell use the 'idea <spell>' to add
it to our possibilities.
#
SPEC SPECIALIZATION
Fighters may specialize in a weapon class of their chose, this is done
by choosing the class you wish to become proficient with and spending
the training in that class. This is a passive skill that aids when
in combat. The normal +1 hit and +2 damage applies if a succesful
skill roll is made while attacking. The fighter may specialize
in any one or more classes that are available at the time of
training. You may use the apraise command to look at different
weapons to see if it may aid you in your type of specialization or
not.
#
PEER

MOBILES
Mobiles, or monsters, in wiley have much the same stats as a player of
there equal level. Some mobs out there are simply going about their
business while others are out to gain items and exp like a average player.
Mobiles have classes and class abilities just like you, so if you plan

Warriors are the strong fighters of the realm. Generally they take
jobs in the mercenary fields or perhaps guards of a city or town.
They live and die by the blade that they have chosen their own, although
seem to take a few with them when they go.
Warriors are the ultimate fighting machines and there skills justify it
as so. They are allowed to practice several effective combat tactics
including kick, bash, rescue, and disarm. Warriors of higher levels
also see the benefit of multiple attacks.
See also: PRACTICE
#
THIEF
Thieves are known to have very special qualities, that no other
class offers. Many of these qualities can come in handy in many
situations, such as picking locks. They are not very combat oriented,
however, so do not expect to be able to kill many things by yourself.
The useful aspect of thieves involves their ability to scout ahead,
avoiding monsters, detecting and removing traps and selling and buying
items at the black market.
You can improve you skills by using the practice command.
See also: PRACTICE
#
CLERIC
This class gives you the wisdom of peace, blessing and healing,
though it is possible to learn more violent spells. You can improve
your spells by using the practice command.
See also: PRACTICE
#
MAGIC USER WIZARD MAGE
This is the class of powerful and violent magic, but the magic user
does not control the nature, and can therefore not bless and such. You
can improve your spells by using the practice command.
See also: PRACTICE
#
RANGER
This class gives you both the strength of the fighter, but the wisdom
and peace of a priest. It is rumored that the gods of the woods look
favorably on those that keep a GOOD outlook on life, those that do not
seem to find themselves becoming more as a fighter.
Rangers are not allowed to wear any solid plates of metal upon their
bodies, although studded and perhaps banded armours would be allowed.
These men of the land benefit from several different skills and at
higher levels gain the use of a limited spell field.
See also: Practice
#
PRACTICE PRACTISE
Practice is the way you improve your spells and skills. You must go
to your guildmaster to let him/her help you improve. If you type
practice, you will see which skills you can improve upon, and how good
you already are at these. You can then use practice <skill>, to
practice the appropriate skill. You can only practise a certain
amount for each level you gain, and you do not have to save this, it
can be accumulated. When you go out and begin to use this new skill
you will begin to understand what it is you have just learned. In essence
you will improve you ability to do use this skill. This will allow
you to become an average user of the skill. To improve further you must
go back and have someone (guildmaster) teach you the subtlties of the
skill you are using.
The number of practices you recieve is based on the class you are and
the prime ability for that class. A fighter is strength for example.
This is not the only factor in gaining practices, it is also based on
the NEW things you have done to gain exp.
#

nearby shelter. You can also follow 'enter' with an argument; for
example, 'enter window'.
#
TIME

depend on this particular notion of time; the opening hours of the
shops, for example.

until you are able to come back, you will have to find an inn.
See also: INN
#
INN INNS

uncomfortable (maybe you are about to die), just type 'flee', and

area in which you travel, however, it is not advisable to use this
command. Frequently, you will find small, but vital hints in the
descriptions of the rooms: An extra peek at your surroundings could
mean the difference between life and death!
See also: COMPACT
#
!
Repeat the last command typed at the keyboard.
#
CONSIDER
Usage : consider <monster>
This command will compare your Level with the <monsters> level. You
will then receive a rough estimate, which is by no means exact.
Example:
> consider fido
#
EXPERIENCE XP
Whenever you kill a monster you earn experience points.
When enough experience points are earned, you raise a level after
going to a teacher and typing 'gain'.
A player will earn exp based on the number of classes they have.
ie. amount = amount/number of classes. This is true for both multi
and single class characters. A single class will go up in level faster
as it may seem on the outside, but a multi will actual have the same amount
of exp spread between the number of classes.
When dieing, a player loses exp in accordance to the following chart:
Level Amount
1-7 1/( 6 * number of classes)
7-14 1/( 5 * number of classes)
15-21 1/( 4 * number of classes)
22-28 1/( 3 * number of classes)
29-49 1/( 2 * number of classes)
As you can see, low levelers lose less exp then a more experienced adventurer.
The key word is experienced, a player that has been around long enough to
obtain a level 29 or above has built sufficient resources to protect themself
and provide a means to avoid death.Low level players do not have this advantage
on their side, this is the reason for the smaller reduction in exp loss when
dieing.
It may seem that multi class characters are losing less exp then a single
class character, but remember, the multi class character has already split
the exp amount between the classes. Since the amount initial given was
split, and the formulae is above ( amount = amount / #classes) the amount
lost should also be used in the same fashion to make it fair between multi
and single class characters. This algorythim has both types of players
basically earning exp and losing exp at the same rate even though the numbers
may not actual be the same when compared.
See Also: GROUP
#
GROUP
Usage : GROUP [player]
If you are a group member, then you will share experience points for
killing monsters equally among the group. Experience points will only
be shared among group members that are in the same location, at the
time of the killing blow. Sharing is regardless of whether the group
members have been participating in the fight.
Group with no argument show a list of people with whom you are grouped.
To make a group, a leader must be selected. All members of the group
must then follow the leader using the follow command. The leader
should NOT follow anyone at all! The leader can now toggle group
membership for each player in the group, by using group
<player_name>. The leader should remember to include himself in the
group.
Example:
Cyric and Muth wish to group with Grimwell.
Cyric: follow grimwell
Muth: follow grimwell
(grimwell should be following no one but himself)
grimwell: group grimwell
grimwell: group cyric
grimwell: group muth
Later when grimwell gets upset at muth (because he is sleeping all the
time) he types :
> group muth
to kick Muth out of the group.

Use : Use <Staff>
Use <Wand> <Target>

room, in some cases, or everyone not in your group in others.

dangerous to use around other players.
Using wands require that you point it at a target, which can be either
a character or an object.
Both staves and wands must be HELD in the hand prior to use! (Use the
grab or hold commands). You must still supply the name of the staff or

Its words are hard to come by, even for those that follow a virtous
path yet they often recieve the full benefits if they are pure. Others,

giving it a second thought.
Duration: None
Damage: 3d8 + 3
Special: None
#
"CAUSE SERIOUS"
This prayer is the second to be learned by those that follower the
path of darker realms, for this is often their best attack as those

Those of a light path find the words of this spell difficult to say,
the pain that the spell causes not as much as one would think.
Duration: None
Damage: 2d8 + 2
Special: None
#
"CAUSE LIGHT"
This spell is the first spell learned by those clerics that chose to
follow a darker path, for it is with this spell that man Aklan followers
must cause pain onto others. Followers have been commonly seen casting
this spell on someone walking the bazaar, for no reason other than seeing
the pain in anothers eye.
Those of a light path find this spell difficult to cast, the words of
the prayer evading the caster, the spell doing much less damage.
Duration: None
Damage: 1d8

Special: -1 Hit and -1 save.
#
"DETECT EVIL"
The incantation of this spell allows one to see a coloured outline of
the targets true faith. Those who find themselves following a lighter
path through life find the spell lasting longer, allowing them to see
more of there eternal foes. Several high mages have been experimenting
with this spell trying to get many different colours beyond those which
the spells calls upon.
The prayer is very similar to the incantation although the faith of the
caster is much more dependant upon how long the spell allows you to see
those of evil.
Duration: 20 hrs
Damage: None
Special: Those of a good alignment have been able to sustain this spell
for days on end...
#
"DETECT INVISIBILITY"

sleep for days, possibly weeks, trying to recover from the loss of

within the item casted upon. It has been noted, by those that dabble in
this spell, that higher powered mages seem to be able to place more into
a item than those of lower levels.

this spell. The power intoned into the weapon will vary as the
castor rises in level, but shall never be worsened.
#
HEAL
This prayer calls upon the diety to heal all wounds that would ail the
target of the spell. This spell is recieved by all that have gained
the power to cast yet those that are true to virtue find the very
difficult prayers of this spell to flow from their lips healing all that
may ail someone. Others, especially those that follow a dimmer path
find the spell heals, yet the true power is just out of their reach.
The dark of heart can heal yet the true meaning of the spell evades
them. It is known that a high priest of Tyken has healed even the laim
to full health, allowing them to lead a fullfilled life, having been
touched by a diety.
Duration: None
Damage: Special
Special: Those with the evil out look on life will do less healing
then those seeking a life of virtue and goodness. The same
is mirrored with that of Harm. A truely holy cleric could
take a fighter up to full while others may only heal twice
of what their level is.
#
INVISIBILITY
This incantation allows the target the spell to step into a paralel realm
that has been reported to be much different than our own. Although this
realm has only been seen by one, whom the spell seems to have misfired
slightly, is claimed to exit, none but the one can varify. On the
usual this spell allows the target to slip into a form of non-reality in
which very few things can see. You in fact become unseeable to normal
eyes allowing one to more freely within many hostile realms. It is
commonly noted that attacking another while in this state will immediately
cause one to become visible again.

Damage: None
Special: This is nullified if combat is entered, and a person is rendered
visible to those that can see into other plains of existance.
#
"LOCATE OBJECT"
This prayer helps the caster find a object that he knows the exact name
of. It must be something close to the caster or well known to him at
the least, for finding this object somewhere across the realm is a
ardous and long task. Some have noted that this spell cast only once
has taken days in the process.
Duration: None
Damage: None
Special: None
#
POISON
A painful spell to those it is cast upon. This spell is used only by
priests who worship a disdained diety.

constitution and the level of the castor. It has been reported

produce venoms can sometimes reflect the effects of this spell.
#
"PROTECTION FROM EVIL"
Allows the target to accept some protection from the evils about.

of those that follow him.

targets life energy, then with the succesful completetion of the spell
both forces are drawn back to the caster, gaining the benefits of both.
A Quintelan renegade mage had quite a lot of luck draining the life of
another and himself being advanced quickly until his luck ran out, tis
rumored the spell turned on him and he was consumed in his own greed for
power.
Duration: None
Damage: Very Very Evil, only those with the blackest of hearts will find
out its secrets through use....
#
FIREBALL
The draining and long incantation of this spell brings forth a small, but
gaining sphere of elemental fire. Upon contact with the disignated
taget the sphere explodes contacting with everything in the mages
immediate area, only the caster is naturally immune to the destructive
effects of this dangerous spell. Many mages in the Quintelan house have
been trying to negate those that travel with them but have only ended up
with charred corpses.
Area Affect Spell.
Duration: None
Damage: ( Level/5)d6 + 2d6 worth of damage.
Special: Objects carried by creatures will also suffer damage.
i.e. 50th level mage does 12d6 worth of damage to area of affect.
#
EARTHQUAKE
The cleric that calls upon their diety for this incantation brings forth
the elements of the earth to tremor and distroy the land and people about
him. Upon the completion of this prayer all that stand about the caster
will be knocked to their knees and possibly be crushed under the falling
debri. Many priests have prayed to have their companions spared from
this harsh damage yet none has reported any recognition.
Area Affect Spell.
Duration: None
Damage: 1d8 + level
Special: Those that fail save, fall and must wait 3 rnds to stand and fight.
Affects all in room except castor.
#
"DISPEL EVIL"
Trys to shun those who are of disdain.
#
"DISPEL GOOD"
Trys to shun those who are of virtue.
#
"CALL LIGHTNING"
The cleric that prays for this spell must have the storm at their command,
without it there is no lightning from which to call the prayer. After
the long prayer has been cited the storm releases its power upon the
unfortunate target allowing it to feel the full power of the storm, and
the truth of faith. It has been noted that the priests that adhere to
complete compliance with the alignment of their diety bring forth bolts
of extreme power often downing a small army of goblins.
Duration: None
Damage: Special
Special: Normal damage is 2d6, can not be saved against
1d6 + ( Level/5 )d6 can be saved for half damage.
i.e. 50th level cleric does 13d6 points of damage.
#
HARM
This prayer is one known best by priests who's faith has taken a darker
path, for they draw the life from their victims and then smite them with
a single blow. Those of a more pure path seem to have the words of the
prayer weak in their tongues, the spell barely affecting the target at
which they strike. It has been commonly noted that followers of Aklan,
especially the high priests have struck even there own followers down,
truely showing their faith, there hearts cold and black.
Duration: None
Damage: Special
Special: Those with the evil out look on life will do more damage then
those seeking a life of virtue and goodness. The same is mirrored
with that of Heal. A truely vile Aklan follower could take a
fighter down to his last 4 hit points while others only do
their level worth of damage.
A victim of this spell is allowed a save for no damage done.
