0 KEYRING~
Syntax: keyring add <key>
keyring remove <key>
This function allows players with a keyring item to store multiple keys
on their keyring, and unlock doors and chests without having to get a key
from your bag, or even remove it from the ring. Because of the way it is
set up, if you have the required key in your keyring, use the unlock command
as you normally would.
See also: UNLOCK
~
0 AUCTION~
The auction command is a form of selling items, allowing players to cut out
the middle man and make more of a profit. To place an item up for auction,
"auction ". To bid on an auction, "auction bid ". You may see the stats for
an item up for auction before bidding on it simply by typing in "auction"
while there is an ongoing auction at the time.
~
0 VAMPIRE~
Vampires are notorious creatures of the night. Some believe them to be
re-animated corpses of the dead brought back by the works of black magic,
whereas others believe them to be a race of their own that elude others except
when a need for blood, their one and only food source, overtakes them; there have
been a few that have looked into this matter, but no conclusive results have
come because all researchers have been found dead and devoid of blood. It is
certain that vampires are evil by nature though, and due to their predisposition
for evil they have the racial ability to detect good and evil, as well as being
able to see in the dark. Due to their evil natures, they are naturally immune
to negative attacks, and they are also resistant to cold, sound, and all forms of
piercing weapons. However, they are vulnerable to holy attacks, as well as fire
and all forms of bashing weapons.
~
0 OGRE~
Ogres are known for their barbarism and physically grotesque appearance. They are
large, sometimes ranging anywhere from ten to fifteen feet tall, and have unusually
large hands and feet which makes them awkward and rather clumsy. Ogres are known
to eat any living creature, including humans, and usually don't bother cooking
their meal first. In the Ogre language, there are no words for politeness, art,
or friendship. The word associated with these foreign ideas is "weak", or "weakling",
depending on usage. They recognize only brutal strength. Ogres have the natural
ability to regenerate quickly due to their powerful constitutions, and can see in
the dark. Also, due to their tremendous size and very small brain, they are immune
to mental attacks. They are also resistant to all forms of poisons and fire attacks,
but vulnerable to slashing, and also cold due to sluggish circulation.
~
0 GNOME~
Gnomes are dwarflike creatures that are notoriously greedy, hoarding and guarding
their personal wealth, and having an almost religious attachment to gold. Gnomes
generally range from three to four feet tall and have pointed ears, with males
usually having very long beards. Gnomes have the innate ability to detect magical
objects, and due to their small size and high dexterity, are permanently affected
by haste. They are naturally resistant to mental attacks, as well as all forms
of acid and bashing attacks. However, gnomes are vulnerable to disease, poisons
of all kinds, and slashing weapons.
~
0 ANGEL~
Angels are a mysterious race, and their true origins are a closely guarded secret.
They look like a normal human until about the age of eight or nine, at which time
they choose to server either the forces of good or evil, and their outward
appearance reflects the alignment they have chosen. Those angels that choose to
be good are surrounded by a golden aura, and great wings with soft, pure white
feathers grow on their backs. Other than those changes, angels of a good alignment
appear just like a normal human, although are almost always very beautiful.
Angels that choose to server the powers of darkness undergo many more changes.
First their eyes turn to a blood red, then their fingers begin to toughen and turn
into sharp claws. Two small horns protrude from their head, then their feet change
into hooves, while great leathery wings grow from their back. This drastic physical
change sometimes causes hysteria and madness. All angels have the racial ability to
detect magical items, as well as detect evil. The wings on their backs fully develop
around the age of fifteen to seventeen, giving them the gift of flight. All angels
are immune to holy attacks, and resistant to lightning and cold as well. However,
they are vulnerable to fire and negative attacks.
~
0 LEPRECHAUN~
Leprechauns are a small race of elves, rumored to know the whereabouts of vast
riches, and will tell you the location of these treasures if you are lucky enough
to catch one. Catching one, however, can be a problem due to their quick natures.
Leprechauns range anywhere from four to five feet tall, but otherwise appear like
any other member of the elf family. They prefer either solitude or small groups,
and are known not to trust strangers. Leprechauns naturally can see any hidden on
invisible object, and because of their excellent agility, are also permanently
affected by haste. They are resistant to negative attacks, and due to their
dexterous natures are also resistant to piercing weapons. However, they are
vulnerable to lightning and slashing weapons.
~
0 MORDHEL~
Mordhel are a race of elves that have shunned the light of day, and have chosen to
live in dark caves. They are somewhat shorter than their elven brothers, but every
bit as strong. Throughout the years, their pigments changed to match their dark
caves, and their skin is anywhere from a light grey to a dark, jet black. They
have yellow to red eyes, although black eyes do occur in rare cases. Mordhel
naturally can detect evil due to their predisposition for cruelty, and also detect
magical items. Due to their smaller stature and high dexterity, they are permanently
affected by haste. Mordhel are resistant to slash and bash due to their speed, and
also resistant to all cold attacks. However, they are vulnerable to sound and fire,
and all piercing attacks.
~
0 ALARIHEL~
The Alarihel are a nomadic group of elves, having no common laws, and at least four
different regional dialects of their language. They are taller and somewhat stronger
than other elves due to their nomadic lifestyle, and hunt their prey using their elven
grace and superior strength and intellect. They long ago forsook order, and have
embraced chaos as their only reigning ideal. Alarihel have the racial ability to detect
hidden objects, as well as being permanently affected by haste due to their speed.
Alarihel are immune to disease, as well as resistant to mental attacks, and all forms
of acid. However, they are vulnerable to poison and piercing weapons.

points.

~
0 SECOND CAST THIRD CAST~
These skills allows an experienced mage to cast one spell multiple times, without having
to wait for his recovery from the cast. For instance, instead of "fireball, 5 second pause,
fireball, 5 second pause, fireball," the mage casts "fireball, fireball, fireball." The
skill is automatic, and it is always on, just like second through fifth attack.
~
0 COAT~
Syntax: coat <weapon>
This Dagashi skill allows the master assassins to coat their weapons with a virile poison
which will deal massive damage to whoever it even lightly cuts. As of yet, there is no
known cure for the poison, but as they say, time heals all wounds.

~
0 BURST OF SPEED~
Syntax: burst

blood, speeding him up beyond the regular human norm. This superhuman speed allows
him to sometimes slip extra attacks past opponents guard. It also works in conjunction
with circle.
See also: DAGASHI, CIRCLE
~
0 PETITION WAR~
Syntax: petition <type (1 for single, 2 for team)>
war
Petition will allow players to start wars of either type. "petition 1" to start a
single war, "petition 2" to start a team war. War is the command to join a war that
is still in its staging processes. Any questions, ask a hero or an imm, they will be
happy to help.

~
0 HONOR CIRCLE~
Syntax: challenge <challenged>
unchallenge <challenged>
decline <challenger>
This is a non PK, totally safe system for allowing players to pretty much smack
the crap out of each other. Upon accepting, both combatants have 2 ticks to prepare
after which they are transported to a one room arena, where they maim to their hearts
content. While there are no tangible prizes for this form of player combat, as with
wars, the prestige and honor of destroying the reigning badass is always a great thing
to win.
~
0 ENZO PUBLIC RELATIONS UNIT EPRU~
This one man organization consists of the nicer, more helpful side of Enzo, and
its only purpose is to translate and clarify the things that you see and hear from
Imms or in the code that make no sense. It exists only when things need to be
explained, and you should be very thankful that the nicer side of Enzo runs this
organization
~
0 KENNY~
Yes, Kenny is the head builder here. Yes, he has the power to do whatever
he wants to this mud. No, he does not answer to Enzo. If you value your
sanity, life, or pride, we of the Demon's Dance staff suggest you do not
bug him with your problems, no matter how big they may be. He does not like
you, as a general rule. He does not care about what/why/how you think about
anything. He has total immunity from any repercussions, which gives him free
reign to do whatever he feels nessecary, so for gods sake people, dont piss him
off.
This has been an Clarification by the Enzo Public Relations Unit
Thank you for your time
~
0 CREATE GOLEM PARTS~
Syntax: create <race to create parts from>
This skill allows the mage to create a servant from a collection of body
parts, collected by killing mobs. These parts appear randomly throughout
the land, and they also come in 4 different types: Leg, Arm, Heart, Head
(by order of increasing difficulty to find). Each part comes from a
specific race, of which there are currently 6: Human, Goblin, Knight, Harpy,
Demon, Dragon. (also in order of increasing difficulty to find.)
To create a golem, the mage needs one of each part, of the same race, (ex:
goblin heart, goblin head, goblin arm, goblin leg). These must all be in
a container called a golem bag (which can be purchased from the wandering
sage). Once you have all 4 parts, in this case goblin parts, the player types
'create goblin' to create his golem. Any more questions, ask Enzo.

0 SMELT~
Syntax: smelt <ore>

in the players inventory into a large block, with weight equal to
the sum of the weights of the smelted ores. For use with forging

0 REMORT~
Syntax: remort
When you reach level 101, you get a chance to go back to level one, as a
reincarnated form of yourself, new class choices and new race choices.
It will delete your old character and recreate a new one from scratch, so
make sure to give all your valuables away, such as your gold, both in the bank
and on your character, your qps (see HELP TOKEN), and so on. I would also suggest
removing any cursed items before remort, as having a cursed item on during remort
can cause serious problems in your newly created character (maybe even to one of
your other chars for safe keeping) before you remort. Because skills carry over
through the remort process, you most likely will want to pick two opposing class
types, such as mage-fighter, or cleric-thief, that way you get the best of both
worlds.

0 DAGASHI~
Dagashi are to thieves what Tao Masters are to mages,
masters of their craft, pure killers in every form.
They are unmatched in dealing death, and they move with
a deadly grace matched only by the Sensei's. Dagashi
are what frightens grown me in their, sleep. They are
death in the shadows.

0 SENSEI~
Master's over their minds and bodies, Senseis are the ultimate result of
a lifetime spent training in the martial arts. While they may lack the
same magical abilities of other classes, they more than make up for it
with their deadly combat tactics. Faster than any human being should
be, Sensei's attack with blindingly fast moves that stun, maim, and
kill. Sensei's get the haduken, shadowslip, triple kick, and fatality
skills.
See also: HADUKEN, SHADOWSLIP, TRIPLE KICK, FATALITY
~
0 HADUKEN~
In place of magical abilities, Sensei's are able to focus their life
energy, or chi, into destructive blasts. The haduken is the most
powerful of these attacks, capable of devastating anything it hits.
~
0 SHADOWSLIP~
Unlike a petty thief's ability to clumsily hide himself, Sensei's
possess a skill called Shadowslipping, where they become one with
the shadows, totally invisible to anyone.
~
0 TRIPLE KICK~
Years upon years of training in all forms of the martial arts,
Sensei's have become indomitable in that area. One of their
moves, the Triple Kick, demonstrates this mastery perfectly.
Launching themself into the air, the Sensei snap kicks every
opponent in the room, causing massive cranial damage
~
0 FATALITY~
Combining martial arts mastery and the ability to gather their
life's energy, Sensei are able to use both these attributes to
strike the enemy in certain places, rupturing organs, and
rending limbs alike. Fatalities can only be performed when
the enemy is sufficently wounded, but should you ever find
yourself low on health and facing a Sensei, the only thing
you can do is run.
{GMajor Contribution by {WEbeneezerScrews.
{GWithout you, there would be no squashing like grape.
{Y-Admin{x
Fatality is compatible with the trophy command.
See also: TROPHY
~
0 SEVER~
Draconians are so named not only becuase of the magical knowledge they
leared from the dragons of old, but also because of the ferocious tendencies
they adopted from that great race. When an enemy was sufficiently wounded,
Dragons used to vicously tear the enemy in half. Draconian's, in their
quest to be more like dragons, have adopted this tactic. A high level
Draconian can bodily rip a combatant in half, instantly killing him, and
leaving his legs as a trophy.
Sever is compatible with the trophy command
See also: TROPHY
~
0 DRACONIANS~
Draconians are those humans who have given up on normal city life and
have gone to learn the ways of the ancient dragons. Because of the wealth
of knowledge contained by these noble wyrms, the Draconians have magical
powers at their beck and call that are rivaled by none. Draconians as of
now get the find dragon, and sever skills.
See also: FIND DRAGON, SEVER
~
0 FIND DRAGON~
Syntax: "find dragon"
This is a Draconian class skill that allows them to use their draconian
natures to call out to the dragons of the wild, and ask the noble dragons
for help in the caller's endeavor.
The dragons that are called are as follows:
City, Field: Ahzi Dahaka
Forest, Hills: Tirzanth
Mountains: Quetzalcoatl
Desert: Shai Hulud
Water: Hydra
Inside: Tiamut
Air: Phantasmal Wyvern
~
0 LEGIONARE~
Legionares are a product of the most rigorus training processes know to
man. After speding years drilling and marching, the practice grounds have
produced a perfect killing machine, capable of working flawlessly in large
groups, or to maximum efficiency on their own. Competent with any weapon,
the Legionares are most familiar with the sword and the spear, with which
they are unparalleled.
Legionares recieve the shield wall, phalanx, strike and fortify skills.
See also: SHIELD WALL, FORTIFY, PHALANX, STRIKE
~
0 EXITFORT EXIT~
Syntax: exit
Pretty self explanatory dont you think?
See also: FORTIFY, ENTERFORT
~
0 ENTERFORT~
Syntax: enterfort fort
This command allows anyone to enter any fort, making use of the
advantages of the protection and superior attack positions provided by the
fortification.
See also: FORTIFY, EXITFORT
~
0 FORTIFY~
Syntax: fortify
This command allows legionares to make use of their time in the well
disciplined legions of the world. With the skills learned in the army,
legionares are able to create fortifications that, upon being entered, add
extra defese and attack ratings to the occupants. The drawback here is that
people entering the forts are totally unable to move, which includes
fleeing.
See also: ENTERFORT, EXITFORT
~
0 EMERGE~
Syntax: emerge
A simple command allowing anyone making use of the shield wall tactic to
emerge from behind their shield, and resume fighting normally.
See also: SHIELD WALL
~
0 SHIELD WALL~

This is a specialty of the legionare, allowing them to use their shields
to maximum effectivness, blocking an enormous percetage of all attacks. The
drawback is that when used, the legionare will lose a significant ammout of
hit and damroll.
See also: EMERGE
~
0 STRIKE~
Syntax: strike <target>
This is the Legionare's most damaging skill, as it comprises the ramming.
of sharp implements deep into the organs of any foe, causing massive damage.
The only setback is the time it takes to recover from the exertion, in order
to attempt any other special actions.
~
0 PHALANX~
Syntax: phalanx
This is a Legionare command allowing the legionare to move into the
phalanx formation, giving him added bonuses for hit and damrolls.

See also: CHALLENGE DECLINE
~

-1 DIKU~
. Original game idea, concept, and design:
Katja Nyboe [Superwoman] (katz@freja.diku.dk)
Tom Madsen [Stormbringer] (noop@freja.diku.dk)
Hans Henrik Staerfeldt [God] (bombman@freja.diku.dk)
Michael Seifert [Papi] (seifert@freja.diku.dk)
Sebastian Hammer [Quinn] (quinn@freja.diku.dk)
Developed at: DIKU -- The Department of Computer Science
at the University of Copenhagen.
~
-1 GOLD SILVER MONEY~
Midgaard's economy is based on gold and silver coinage (and the lowly copper,
which you as an adventurer are far too proud to carry). Gold coins are worth
100 silver coins, but are also four times as heavy (25 to the pound, as
opposed to 100 to the pound for silver). Gems can be bought to alleviate weight problems
from the Midgaard jeweller, he charges a mere 10% more than they are worth.
10 gems weigh one pound, and they can be worth more than 100 gold pieces for
the highest quality stones.
~
0 BRIEF COMPACT~
Brief and compact help set your display options for the game. Typing brief
toggles on and off the showing of room descriptions when you move around
(considerably reducing the text to be processed), and typing compact
removes the extra blank line before your prompt.
~
-1 DEAF~
The deaf toggle turns off incoming tells, helpfull if you are being bombarded
by messages from other players. You can still use reply (see 'help reply') to
reply to people who were telling you before you went deaf, although you
cannot reply to a deaf person unless you or they are a diety (it's mostly
useful for sending a quick "I'm being spammed so I went deaf" message to
a person).
~
-1 AFK~
Typing AFK puts your character in a tell-saving mode as follows: any tell
to you is stored in a special buffer, and can be seen later by typing
recall. This is useful when you need to leave the mud for 5 or 10 minutes,
but don't want to miss tells. AFK shows up in your prompt until it is
turned off.
Tells to link-dead players are stored in a similar fashion, and can also be
seen by typing replay (unless, of course, the character logs off before
reading them).
~
-1 PROMPT~
Syntax: prompt
Syntax: prompt all
Syntax: prompt <%*>
PROMPT with out an argument will turn your prompt on or off.
PROMPT ALL will give you the standard "<hits mana moves>" prompt.
PROMPT <%*> where the %* are the various variables you may set yourself.
%h : Display your current hits
%H : Display your maximum hits
%m : Display your current mana
%M : Display your maximum mana
%v : Display your current moves
%V : Display your maximum moves
%x : Display your current experience
%X : Display experience to level
%g : Display your gold held
%s : Display silver carried
%a : Display your alignment
%r : Display the room name you are in
%e : Display the exits from the room in NESWDU style
%c : Display a carriage return (useful for multi-line prompts)
%R : Display the vnum you are in (IMMORTAL ONLY)
%z : Display the area name you are in (IMMORTAL ONLY)
Example: PROMPT <%hhp %mm %vmv>
Will set your prompt to "<10hp 100m 100mv>"

~
0 DEATH~
When your character dies, you are reincarnated back at the Altar of the Temple
of Midgaard. Your corpse is left behind in the room where you were killed,
together with all of your equipment.
Any spells which were affecting you are canceled by death.
Following and groups are not affected by death.
You lose experience points for dying. The amount you lose is two-thirds of
the way back to the beginning of your level.
Corpses decay after time, and the objects inside corpses decay with them.
Player corpses last *roughly* 30 hours of game time (15 minutes of real time).
Only the player who died, or someone in the same group, can retrieve objects
from a player's corpse.
~
0 EXPERIENCE LEVEL XP~
Your character advances in power by gaining experience. You need a set
amount of experience points for each level based on your creation points.
You gain experience by:
being part of a group that kills a monster
You lose experience by:
fleeing from combat
recalling out of combat
being the target of certain spells
dying
The experience you get from a kill depends on several things: how many players
are in your group; your level versus the level of the monster; your alignment
versus the monster's alignment; how many of this monster have been killed
lately; and some random variation.
~
0 PET PETS~
You can buy pets in the pet shop. You may own only one pet at a time, after
the old one dies you may purchase a replacement.
New pets are planned for a shop in New Thalos.
~
0 TICK~
Many of the game actions are based upon interval timers, including combat,
most autonomous monster actions, hp/mana/move regeneration, spell duration,
weather, and area resetting.
Of these timers, the hp/mana/move regeneration timer is popularly called the
'tick'. Ticks on this mud average 30 seconds of real time, but the actual
amount varies randomly from 15 seconds to 45 seconds.
Area resetting happens roughly every 3 minutes if no one is in the area; less
often (15 minutes) if some one is. Also note that objects lying on the ground
will not be regenerated if anyone is in the area when it resets.
~
0 !~
Syntax: !
! repeats the last command you typed.
~
0 NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST UP DOWN~
Syntax: north
Syntax: south
Syntax: east
Syntax: west
Syntax: up
Syntax: down
Use these commands to walk in a particular direction.
~
0 CAST~
Syntax: cast <spell> <target>
Before you can cast a spell, you have to practice it. The more you practice,
the higher chance you have of success when casting. Casting spells costs mana.
The mana cost decreases as your level increases.
The <target> is optional. Many spells which need targets will use an
appropriate default target, especially during combat.
If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name.
Example: cast 'cure critic' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word spells.
You can abbreviate the spell name.
When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving throw.
The effect of the spell is reduced or eliminated if the victim makes the
saving throw successfully.
See also the help sections for individual spells.
~
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).
~
0 DROP GET GIVE PUT TAKE~
Syntax: drop <object>
Syntax: drop <amount> coins
Syntax: get <object>
Syntax: get <object> <container>
Syntax: give <object> <character>
Syntax: give <amount> coins <character>
Syntax: put <object> <container>
DROP drops an object, or some coins, on the ground.
GET gets an object, either lying on the ground, or from a container, or even
from a corpse. TAKE is a synonym for get.
GIVE gives an object, or some coins, to another character.
PUT puts an object into a container.
DROP, GET and PUT understand the object names 'ALL' for all objects and
'ALL.object' for all objects with the same name.
~
0 EQUIPMENT INVENTORY~
Syntax: equipment
Syntax: inventory
EQUIPMENT lists your equipment (armor, weapons, and held items).
INVENTORY lists your inventory.
~
0 COMPARE~
Syntax: compare <object-1> <object-2>
Syntax: compare <object>
COMPARE compares two objects in your inventory. If both objects are weapons,
it will report the one with the better average damage. If both objects are
armor, it will report the one with the better armor class.
COMPARE with one argument compares an object in your inventory to the object
you are currently wearing or wielding of the same type.
COMPARE doesn't consider any special modifiers of the objects.
~
0 FLEE~
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. (You can also RECALL, but this is less likely to work,
and costs more experience points, then 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.
~
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'.
~
0 ORDER~
Syntax: order <character> command
Syntax: order all command
ORDER orders one or all of your charmed followers (including pets) to
perform any command. The command may have arguments. You are responsible
for the actions of your followers, and others who attack your followers
will incur the same penalty as if they attacked you directly.
Most charmed creatures lose their aggresive nature (while charmed).
If your charmed creature engages in combat, that will break the charm.
~
0 REST SLEEP STAND WAKE~
Syntax: rest
Syntax: sleep
Syntax: stand
Syntax: wake
These commands change your position. When you REST or SLEEP, you
regenerate hit points, mana points, and movement points faster.
However, you are more vulnerable to attack, and if you SLEEP,
you won't hear many things happen.
Use STAND or WAKE to come back to a standing position. You can
also WAKE other sleeping characters.
~
0 GTELL ; REPLY SAY TELL~
Syntax: gtell <message>
Syntax: 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.
~
-1 NOTE NOTES CHANGES NEWS PENALTY IDEA UNREAD~
The notes on ROM replace the bulletin boards and mail systems found on many
other mud. The following options are usable:
reading notes:
note list : show all notes (unread notes are marked with an N)
note read : either by number, or read next to read unread notes
note remove : removes a note that you wrote or are the target of
note catchup : markes all notes as read
writing new notes:

note subject : sets the subject for a new note
note edit : puts you in the text editor, so you can edit the body of your note.
note show : shows the note you are working on
note post : posts a new note. This MUST be done to post a note.
When you log in, you will be informed if there are unread notes waiting. Type
note read to scroll through them one at a time.
Four other note directories exist, these are ideas, news, changes, and
penalties (gods only). They are used the exact same way, for example
idea read 5 will read idea #5. Posting to the news and changes boards is
restricted. The 'unread' command can be used to show your unread notes on
all the note spools.
~
0 GOSSIP CGOSSIP . SHOUT YELL~
Syntax: gossip <message>
Syntax: cgossip <message>
Syntax: shout <message>
Syntax: yell <message>
SHOUT sends a message to all awake players in the world. To curb excessive
shouting, SHOUT imposes a three-second delay on the shouter.
GOSSIP and CGOSSIP are variants of SHOUT (without the delay). '.' is a
synonym for GOSSIP.
YELL sends a message to all awake players within your area.
Type a channel name by itself to turn it off.
~
0 EMOTE PMOTE POSE SOCIAL~
Syntax: emote <action>
Syntax: pose
EMOTE is used to express emotions or actions. Besides EMOTE, there are
several dozen built-in social commands, such as CACKLE, HUG, and THANK
(type socials or help socials for a listing).
PMOTE is similar to emote, but will substitute you and your for a target's
name (i.e. pmote bonks Alander will be read as bonks you by Alander, and
as bonks Alander by everyone else).
POSE produces a random message depending on your class and level.
~
52 SMOTE~
Syntax: smote <action>
Smote works exactly like pmote, except you must place your name somewhere in
the string, and it will show that string to everyone in the room.
~
0 HOLD REMOVE WEAR WIELD~
Syntax: hold <object>
Syntax: remove <object>
Syntax: wear <object>
Syntax: wear all
Syntax: wield <object>
Three of these commands will take an object from your inventory and start using
it as equipment. HOLD is for light sources, wands, and staves. WEAR is for
armor. WIELD is for weapons.
WEAR ALL will attempt to HOLD, WEAR, or WIELD each suitable item in your
inventory.
You may not be able to HOLD, WEAR, or WIELD an item if its alignment does not
match yours, if it is too heavy for you, or if you are not experienced enough
to use it properly.
REMOVE will take any object from your equipment and put it back into your
inventory.
~
0 BUG TYPO~

Str: 15(23) means you have a 15 strength from training, but a 23 strength
from other factors (spells or items).
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.

your old password. The second argument is your new password.
The PASSWORD command is protected against being snooped or logged.
~
0 TITLE~

The game supplies a title when your character is created and when you
advance a level. You can use TITLE to set your title to something else.
~
0 WIMPY~
Syntax: wimpy
Syntax: wimpy <number>
WIMPY sets your wimpy value. When your character takes damage that reduces
your hit points below your wimpy value, you will automatically attempt to flee.
You will only flee if your character is not in a wait state -- i.e. has not
been using combat commands like cast, trip and bash, and has not been
tripped or bash by an enemy.
WIMPY with no argument sets your wimpy value to 20% of your maximum hit points.
Some monsters are wimpy.
~

~
0 BUY LIST SELL VALUE~
Syntax: buy <object>
Syntax: list
Syntax: sell <object>
Syntax: value <object>
BUY buys an object from a shop keeper.
When multiple items of the same name are listed, type 'buy n.item', where n
is the position of the item in a list of that name. So if there are two
swords, buy 2.sword will buy the second. If you want to buy multiples of
an item, use an * (buy 5*pie will buy 5 pies). These can be combined into
(for example) buy 2*2.shield, as long as the * is first.
LIST lists the objects the shop keeper will sell you.
List <name> shows you only objects of that name.
SELL sells an object to a shop keeper.
VALUE asks the shop keeper how much he, she, or it will buy the item for.
~
0 SACRIFICE~
Syntax: sacrifice <object>
SACRIFICE offers an object to Mota, who may reward you.
The nature of the reward depends upon the type of object.
~
0 SCROLL~
Syntax: scroll
Syntax: scroll <number>
This command changes the number of lines the mud sends you in a page (the
default is 24 lines). Change this to a higher number for larger screen
sizes, or to 0 to disabling paging.
~
0 BRANDISH QUAFF RECITE ZAP~
Syntax: brandish
Syntax: quaff <potion>
Syntax: recite <scroll> <target>
Syntax: zap <target>
Syntax: zap
BRANDISH brandishes a magical staff. QUAFF quaffs a magical potion (as opposed
to DRINK, which drinks mundane liquids). RECITE recites a magical scroll; the
<target> is optional, depending on the nature of the scroll. ZAP zaps a
magical wand at a target. If the target is not specified, and you are fighting
someone, then that character is used for a target.
You must HOLD a wand or a staff before using BRANDISH or ZAP.
All of these commands use up their objects. Potions and scrolls have a single
charge. Wands and staves have multiple charges. When a magical object has no
more charges, it will be consumed.
These commands may require an item skill to be succesful, see the help entries
on the skills scrolls, staves, and wands for more information.
~
0 CONSIDER~
Syntax: consider <character>
CONSIDER tells you what your chances are of killing a character.
Of course, it's only a rough estimate.
~
0 FOLLOW GROUP~
Syntax: follow <character>
Syntax: group
Syntax: group <character>
FOLLOW starts you following another character. To stop following anyone else,
just FOLLOW <yourself>.
GROUP <character> makes someone who is following you a member of your group.
Group members share experience points from kills and may use the GTELL and
SPLIT commands. If anyone in your group is attacked, you will automatically
join the fight.
If the <character> is already a member of your group, then GROUP will
kick out the <character> from your group. Characters can also leave your
group by using a FOLLOW command to stop following you.
GROUP with no argument shows statistics for each character in your group.
You may FOLLOW and GROUP only with characters who are within five levels of
your own.
~
0 VISIBLE~
VISIBLE cancels your hiding and sneaking, as well as any invisibility,
making you visible again.
~
0 QUIT RENT SAVE~
Syntax: QUIT
Syntax: RENT ... not!
Syntax: SAVE
SAVE saves your character and object. The game saves your character every
15 minutes regardless, and is the preferred method of saving. Typing save
will block all other command for about 20 seconds, so use it sparingly.
(90+ players all typing save every 30 seconds just generated too much lag)
Some objects, such as keys and potions, may not be saved.
QUIT leaves the game. You may QUIT anywhere. When you re-enter the game
you will be back in the same room.
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 in this mud. Just SAVE and QUIT whenever you want to leave.
~
0 RECALL /~
Syntax: RECALL
RECALL prays to Mota for miraculous transportation from where you are
back to the Temple of Midgaard. '/' is a synonym for RECALL.
If you RECALL during combat, you will lose experience (more than for fleeing),
and you will have a chance of failing (again, more than for fleeing). This
chance is based on your recall skill, although a 100% recall does not
insure success.
RECALL costs half of your movement points.
RECALL doesn't work in certain god-forsaken rooms. Characters afflicted by a
curse may not recall at all.
~
-1 SPLIT~
Syntax: SPLIT <silver> <gold>
SPLIT splits some coins between you and all the members of your
group who are in the same room as you. It's customary to SPLIT
the loot after a kill. The first argument is the amount of silver
the split (0 is acceptable), and the second gold (optional).
Examples:
split 30 --> split 30 silver
split 20 50 --> split 20 silver, 50 gold
split 0 10 --> split 10 gold
~
0 STEAL~
Syntax: STEAL coins <character>
Syntax: STEAL <object> <character>
STEAL attempts to steal coins, or an object, from a character.
There are penalties for using STEAL on other players.
In order to STEAL successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill.
~
0 PRACTICE~
Syntax: PRACTICE
Syntax: PRACTICE <skill|spell>
PRACTICE without an argument tells you your current ability level in all
the skills and spells available to you. You can check this anywhere.
PRACTICE with an argument practice that skill or spell. Your learning
percentage varies from 0% (unlearned) to a some maximum between 80% and 100%,
depending on your class. You must be at a guild master to practice.
The higher your intelligence, the more you will learn at each practice
session. 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.
~
0 TRAIN~
Syntax: train <str int wis dex con hp mana>
TRAIN increases one of your attributes. When you start the game, your
character has standard attributes based on your class, and several
initial training sessions. You can increase your attributes by
using these sessions at a trainer (there are several in town).
It takes one training session to improve an attribute, or to increase
mana or hp by 10. You receive one session per level.
The best attributes to train first are WIS and CON. WIS gives you more
practice when you gain a level. CON gives you more hit points.
In the long run, your character will be most powerful if you train
WIS and CON both to 18 before practising or training anything else.
~
60 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.
~
60 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. You can give more trust to mortal (or
immortal) characters to give them access to more power without messing up
the character. You can also restrict a player's trust to less than their
natural level.
A trust of 0 means to use the character's natural level again.
~
58 ALLOW BAN PERMBAN~
Syntax: allow <site>
ban <site> <newbies|all|permit>
ban
BAN <site> prohibits players from that site from logging in. BAN with
no arguments lists the banned sites. ALLOW <site> removes a site from
the ban list, if the remover is of equal or higher level than the banner.
A site may have all players, new players, or non-permitted players (set
by editing the player file) banned, by changing the argument after the site.
*s may be used to ban either by suffix (*.edu), prefix (labmac*), or
content (*andrews*), but be careful not to accidently lock out too many
sites with a wildcard. Bans do not save unless the permban command is used.
~
59 REBOOT SHUTDOWN~
Syntax: reboot
shutdown
Reboot shuts down the server. When the normal 'startup' script is used
to control the server, a delay of fifteen 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.
~
56 WIZLOCK NEWLOCK~
Syntax: wizlock
newlock
Wizlock and newlock both block login attempts to ROM. Wizlock locks
out all non-gods (i.e. level less than 51), except for link-dead players who
are returning. Newlock only locks out new character generation, typically
used for preventing a spammer from returning. Wizlocking should be avoided,
and newlocking should be accompanied by mail or a note to the imps.
A god must be at least Supreme level to wizlock the game.
~
59 DENY~
Syntax: deny <name>
Deny locks a character out of a game permanently, rendering their character
name unusable. It may only be removed by editing the file, for this reason
freeze is usually preferred.
~
57 DISCONNECT~
Syntax: disconnect <name>
Disconnect breaks a player's link to the game, dumping them back to the telnet
prompt. This is a non-lethal way of getting rid of spammers and annoying
players.
~
57 FREEZE~
Syntax: freeze <name>
FREEZE <character> is a toggle which prevents a character from issuing any
commands at all. It can be removed from within the game, so freezing a
troublemaker is usually a better option than they deny command.
~
53 FORCE~
Syntax: force <character> <command>
Syntax: force all <command>
FORCE forces one character to execute a command, except of course delete.
Below level 57 (Deity) force can only be used on mobiles, and force all is
unavailable. You also cannot 'force orc murder hugo', for example.
FORCE 'all' forces all player characters to execute a command.
This is typically used for 'force all save'.
~
56 SOCKETS~
Syntax: sockets
sockets <name>
SOCKETS reports all of the visible users connected to the server, including
users in the process of logging in. The two numbers inside brackets are the
channel number and the 'connected' state. The 'connected' states are listed in
merc.h: 0 is CON_PLAYING; non-zero values are various states of logging in.
The optional name argument shows the site of a player, or optional can be used
to identify switched gods (i.e. socket orc shows the name of anyone switched
into an orc).
~
56 LOAD~
Syntax: load mob <vnum>
load obj <vnum> <level>
The load command is used to load new objects or mobiles (use clone to
duplicate strung items and mobs). The vnums can be found with the vnum
command, or by stat'ing an existing mob or object.
Load puts objects in inventory if they can be carried, otherwise they are
put in the room. Mobiles are always put into the same room as the god. Old
format objects must be given a level argument to determine their power, new
format objects have a preset level that cannot be changed without set.
(see also clone, vnum, stat)
~
58 SET~
Syntax: set mob <mobile> <field> <value>
set obj <object> <field> <value>
set room <number> <field> <value>
set skill <char> <name> <rating>
set skill <char> all <rating>
The set command is used to change the numerical values of the various data
structures. Type set <class> without an argument to see a listing of options.
Set skill all (pc's only) will set all the character's skills to the value
given. Use string to change the strings on an object or mobile.
(see also string, stat)
~
55 STRING~
Syntax: string obj <field> <string>
string mob <field> <string>
The string command changes the various strings associated with an object or
mobile. A full list of fields can be viewed by typing string obj or string
mob. Sorry, multi-line strings are not yet supported.
~
55 NOCHANNEL NOEMOTE NOSHOUT NOTELL~
Syntax: nochannel <character>
noemote <character>
noshout <character>
notell <character>
Noemote, noshout, and notell are used to muffle other characters, by
preventing them from emoting, shouting, and telling, respectively.
Characters who are noshout'ed or no'telled will also not receive those
forms of communication.
The nochannel command is similar, but more drastic. It prevents the victim
from using any of the channels (gossip, cgossip, Q/A, music) on the game.
Nochannels usually result from swearing or spamming on public channels.
~
57 PARDON~
Syntax: pardon <character> killer
pardon <character> thief
Pardon pardons a player for their crimes. Don't pardon a player unless you
are sure they deserve it. Being killed by Hassan acts as an automatic
pardon.
~
56 PURGE~
Syntax: purge
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, or objects or mobiles with a NOPURGE flag
set (i.e. the pit, the fountain, shopkeepers, Hassan). Mobiles may be
purged if they are called directly by name.
~
56 RESTORE~
Syntax: restore <character>
restore room
restore all
Restore restores full hit points, mana points, and movement points to the
target character. It also heals poison, plague, and blindness.
Restore room (or restore with no argument) performs a restore on every player
in the room, restore all does the same for all connected players. Restore all
is only usable by creators and implementors. Restore should be used sparingly
or not at all.
~
57 SLAY~
Syntax: slay <character>
Slay kills a character in cold blood, no saving throw. Best not to use this
command on players if you enjoy being a god.
~
55 TRANSFER TELEPORT~
Syntax: transfer <character>
transfer all
transfer <character> <location>
transfer all <location>
Transfer transfers the target character, or ALL player characters,
to your current location (default) or to a specified location. Trans all
should almost never be used, as 100 players popping into one room can have
horrible effects on slow links. Teleport is a synonym for transfer.
~
54 AT~
Syntax: at <location> <command>
At executes the given command (which may have arguments) at the given
location. The location may be specified as a vnum, as the name of
a mobile, or as the name of an object.
At works by temporarily moving you to that location, executing the
command, and then moving you back (if the command didn't change your
location).
~
54 ECHO GECHO PECHO~
Syntax: echo <message>
gecho <message>
pecho <character> <message>
These commands all perform similar functions. Echo sends the message to
all characters in the same room as the user, with no indication of who sent
it. Gecho does the same for all players connected to the game, and pecho
sends the message to the player specified as the target. Any higher-level
god will see a prompt in front of your message, informing him or her that it
is an echo.
~
52 GOTO~
Syntax: goto <location>
Goto takes you to a location. The location may be specified as a vnum,
as the name of a mobile, or as the name of an object.
You may not Goto a room if it is PRIVATE and has two (or more) characters
already present, or if it is SOLITARY and has one (or more) characters
already present. Some other rooms are barred to players below a certain
god level.
Implementors can use the violate command to get into private rooms.
~
52 HOLYLIGHT INVIS WIZINVIS~
Syntax: holylight
wiznvis <level>
Holylight is a toggle that allows you to see (almost) every character and
mobile in the game. With holy light, you can see what's in the game more
easily. Without holy light, you can see what mortal players see.
Wizinvis takes a level argument, and will mke you invisible to all players of
a lower level than your invisibility level. It defaults to the maximum
(your level) if no argument is given. Wizi 60 characters are totally
invisible.
~
52 INCOGNITO~
Toggling your incognito status will hide your presence from people outside the
room you are in, but leave you visible to those who are with you. It takes
a level argument similar to wizinvis, people at that level or higher can see
you regarless of location.
~
52 MEMORY~
Syntax: memory
Memory reports the size of your mud.
The 'Mobs' and 'Objs' lines report the number of types of mobiles and objects,
not the number of instances currently in the game.
The 'Strings' line shows memory used by area-file strings. These strings have
a maximum limit, which is also shown.
The 'Perms' line shows permanently allocated memory blocks. There is no limit
on the number and size of these blocks.
~
56 VNUM~
Syntax: vnum <name>
vnum <obj or mob> <name>
vnum skill <name>
Vnum finds all objects and mobiles with a particular name, and prints out
the results. Use vnum obj or vnum mob to limit the search. This vnum is
very useful for loading. Vnum skill returns the skill number (for set) and
the slot number (for making new zones) of a skill name.
(see also load)
~
53 STAT~
Syntax: stat <name>
stat mob <name>
stat obj <name>
stat room <number>
The stat command gives you detailed information on an object, mobile, or room
within the game. Without a class argument, the command will return a object
(if found), a mobile (if no object exists, but a mobile does), or a room
(if a number is given). Stat room with no argument stats the room you are
standing in. Stat can be used to find room vnums for goto.
(see also goto, transfer)
~
53 MWHERE~
Syntax: mwhere <name>
Mwhere shows you the locations of all mobiles with a particular name.
~
55 PEACE~
Syntax: peace
Peace causes all characters in a room to stop fighting. It also strips the
AGGRESSIVE bit from mobiles.
~
52 POOFIN POOFOUT~
Syntax: poofin <message>
Syntax: pooffout <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 poofin and poofout commands. These messages
must include your name somewhere in the string.
Poofin and poofout only show to characters who can see you.
(see also goto)
~
59 PROTECT~
Syntax: protect <character>
Protect is used to protect a character from unwanted snooping. Removing
protected status from a character WILL be seen by that character.
~
55 LOG SNOOP~
Syntax: log <character>
log all
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.
Logs may only be used by creators and implementors, and should be accompanied
by mail to the implementors.
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. Please do not use this unless you tell the imps.
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. Try to respect privacy.
Snoop yourself to cancel all outstanding snoops.
~
54 SWITCH RETURN~
Syntax: switch <character>
return
Switch switches you into the body of another character (who must not
already have a descriptor, e.g. you can't switch into a PC). You also cannot
switch into link-dead PCs.
Return returns you to your original body.
~
51 IMMTALK :~
Syntax: immtalk <message>
immtalk
Immtalk sends a message to all immortals. : is a synonym for immtalk.
Using this command with no argument turns off the immortal channel (or
turns it back on).
~
52 WIZNET~
Syntax: wiznet
wiznet show
wiznet status
wiznet <field>
Wiznet is sort of an immortal news service, to show important events to
the wiznetted immoral. Wiznet by itself turns wiznet on and off,
wiznet show lists all settable flags (they are not detailed here),
wiznet status shows your current wiznet settings, and wiznet <field> toggles
a field on and off. The events should be self-explanatory, if they are not,
fiddle with them a while. More events are available at higher levels.

Syntax: cast 'dispel magic' <character>
cast 'cancellation' <characte>
Both of these spells remove magical effects from the target. Dispel magic
has a reduced chance of working, and is considering an attack spell.
Cancellation can only be used on allies, but is much more effective and does
not provoke attack. Unfortunately, the spells do not discriminate between
harmful and benign spells.
The chance of dispelling is based on the level of the spell. Permanent spells
(such as mobile sanctuary) are much harder to remove. Not all spells may
be dispelled, notable examples are poison and plague.

0 'ENCHANT WEAPON'~

destroyed by the magic. Also, every successful enchant increases the level
of the weapon by one...and there is no turning back.
~
-1 'ENCHANT ARMOR'~
