202 Poweritems~
Power Items in NON hero areas are limited to 1 weapon and
1 item every 50 vnums. {YALL{x power items MUST have
p-item in their name. For example, Broadsword sword p-item,
black dagger p-item.
The formula for powerweapons must be followed accordingly.
The formula is level x 3 = points, points are used according
to the chart below.
Point chart:
============================
1 point = 1 mana
1 point = 1 hp
1 point = 5 move
5 points = 1 save, savingbreath, savingpara, savingrod, etc.
5 points = 1 ac
5 points = 1 stat (str,dex,con,wis, or int)
10 points = 1 hitroll
10 points = 1 damroll
10 points = vorpal, and sharp, each
20 points = vampiric, flaming, shocking, frost, and poison, each
-10 points = two handed
For AVdam on Power Weapons set the level 5 levels above the level you
want it to be and then type autoweapon, then set it back down, use
the level you want the weapon to be for points, not the level you used
for AVdam. Also remember to erase the stats given by autoweapon BEFORE
giving stats according to the formula.
Power Items
Power Armor
The formula for power armor is level x 4 = points. Use the chart below
to see how points are allocated. For the AC on armor set the level 5 levels
above what you are intending it to be, then autoarmor, then set it back down.
Also remember to erase autoarmor addaffects before applying new addaffects.
Power Items (Jewelry, Auras, Floating items, and Tattoos)
The formula for power items is level x 6 = points. See chart below. Remember everything but
jewelry has HALF the armor for its level, jewelry can not have AC. Jewelry includes Rings,
Earrings, and some necklaces.
Here is the point values:
============================
1 point = 1 mana
1 point = 1 hp
1 point = 5 move
5 points = 1 save, savingbreath, savingpara, savingrod, etc.
5 points = 1 ac
10 points = 1 hitroll
10 points = 1 damroll
15 points = 1 stat (1 str,dex,con,wis, or int)

-1 ROT~
RoT is a ROM2.4 derived mud, which is originally based on the Merc 1.0 code.
The RoT modifications to the ROM source are copyright 1996-1997 by Russ Walsh.
~
-1 ROM~
ROM started in early February 1993, using Merc 1.0 code. In July of 1993,
ROM II was started, eventually replacing the original ROM. ROM was up for
a little over a year, after which the code (version 2.3) was released,
and various other ROM muds were started, including Rivers of Mud under
a new management (Zump's ROM), at rom.org 9000.
Alander's current project is Tesseract, the latest version of the ROM code.
It can be found at hypercube.org 9000.
The following people contributed to the ROM flavor of the merc base code:
Socials --
Kelsey and Liralen
New, Improved Valhalla --
Liralen
Puff's new special proc and improved poofin/poofout code --
Seth
Maps and map shop --
Ezra, Regnan (Olympus)
Nirvana zone --
Forstall (mobiles rewritten by Alander)
Mob Factory --
Pinkfloyd (originally written for ROM, mobiles rewritten by Alander)
Geographically correct Midgaard (tm) --
Alander
Ideas and playtesting --
Thousands of dedicated mudders around the world
Beta testing --
Ken Blosser, Doug Araya, and Sherene Neil all helped with bug reports
and suggestions, saving a lot of headaches
New Thalos area was donated by Onivel of Jedi, who was also the originator
of the ASCII flags used in the zone files
ROM 2.4 was developed during my time with Moosehead mud, and the release
shares many of the features I wrote while I was there. Additional code
was written by Seth Scott (the new poofin/poofout), and many contributions
and ideas from the Merc list were used.
The new features of 2.4 were largely produced in bull sessions with
Gabrielle (my wife) and Brian Moore, without whom this release wouldn't
have happened. In particular, the new privacy code, furniture, and
wiznet are largely the results of Gabrielle's ideas.
Changes to the standard diku mob and object format, as well as the changes
to Merc 2.1 source code, were done by Alander over many a late night of
hair-pulling. Hope you enjoy it.
(my apologies if anyone was forgotten in this list)
~
-1 IMMORTAL IMMORT GOD WIZARD WIZ~
'Immortal' (often, simply, 'immort') refers to players who have reached
the highest attainable levels in the game. Here, anyone of level 102
or higher is an 'immortal.' Immortals are capable of exceeding the
usual game rules, in more drastic and pervasive ways as levels increase;
examples range from teleportation and invisibility to mortal sight to
creation of objects, removal of a player's privileges (channels,
ability to move, or even ability to log in), and ability to promote
players to immortality.
Since immortals can wreak havoc with game balance, they are (ideally)
a carefully-chosen and policed group. An absolute rule of immortal
behavior is that no immortal can aid or assist any player without
explicit permission from the higher ranks; in other words, please
don't ask an immortal to help you kill a mob, gather EQ, etc, or
you'll likely be either politely or rudely refused, or referred to
this file.
The duties of immortals, and even the very reasons for their existence,
are topics of continual and heated debate in various MUD forums, and are
fraught with misconceptions, poor examples, and outrageous hypocrisies. :)

102 JOBS~
This is a partial list of what a god of any given level should be doing. It is
not complete yet.
Angels:(102-104)
Angels and higher level gods may not assist mortals directly in any way.
An Angel's main job is to help with quests (via switch), or possibly run
small quest of their own -- but the rewards should be minimal.
Deities:(105-106)
Deities have two main roles: reimbursement and quest running. Be skeptical
on reimburses, don't just hand out every piece of gear. I suggest limiting
reimbursements to 10 items at a time, and make sure that you do not load things
at too high a level (new format items have hard-coded levels, so are not a
problem). vnum and stat are useful for this. You can draft Angels to help you
run a quest, and please note that quests should NOT have huge rewards -- the
main point should be to have fun. Deities have no business trying to enforce
rules -- the most you should do to a player is a NOCHANNEL or similar light
punishment.
Gods:(107-109)
Gods can run quests just like Deities, and it's nice to do reimbursements too.
However, the main role of a God is keeping the peace. Gods can enforce (but
not create rules), using the various NOTELL-class commands, as well as deny,
purge, freeze, and ban (but be careful with these commands!) Gods are expected
to help make the mud run more smoothly, power trips are strictly verbotten.
Not fufilling the roles of your office can result in demotion or deletion.

102 COMMANDMENTS LAWS 'GOD RULES' GODS~

**********************
** The Rules of DR **
**********************
1) Do not kill mortals, do not kill mortals, do not kill mortals.
This includes transferring/summoning them to aggressive mobs.
2) Do not cheat for ANY mortal in ANY way, especially your own.
Unless of course you LIKE deletion. Yes this includes tanking,
healing/restoring, casting protection spells <armor, sanct>,
and softening up or altering mobs.
3) Do not transfer or summon mobs to mortals or mortals to mobs.
They have legs, if they want to kill a mob, they can easilly
go there themselves.
4) DO NOT kill the shopkeepers for any reason at ALL.
5) DO NOT use reboot. <--- Note, simple English.
6) Do not give out free equipment. You don't need to win brownie
points with the mortals. Quest are fine but handing out items
isn't.
7) A note on quests: Quests are a good thing, more or less, BUT
do not give out overly extravagant prizes. Exercise some
common sense here folks. Do not load items more than 4 levels
below their normal level (i.e. no level 5 ogre gauntlets).
8) Do not undermine the authority of a higher level god. If you
see that someone has been frozen or nochannelled do not restore
their priveleges. They are being punished for a reason.
9) Do not try to overrule each other.
10) Trusted mortals: Do not use your god powers to help your mortal
character. If you do, your trust will be taken away.
~

~
-1 CLANRULES~
1. Do NOT join any clan until you investigate ALL clans.
2. Once you join a clan, you must STAY WITH THAT Clan. No switching clans,
abandoning your clan mates, etc.; the point of joining a clan is to use
TEAMWORK. That means when you get pkilled, you ask your CLAN MATES to
retrieve your corpse, re-equip you, help you avenge your death, etc. Do
not count on the IMMs for help.
3. Clanned characters are *not* allowed to pkill anyone in their own clan,
or anyone NOT clanned; nor are they allowed to kill members of non-pkill clans.
4. Clanned characters are NOT allowed to use edited equipment for pkill.
This does not include Clan EQ or Quest items, both of which are allowed.
5. If you get pkilled, you will *NOT* be reimbursed ANY eq by the IMMs;
this includes edited EQ, items of sentimental value, quest items, etc.
6. Clanned characters are not allowed to ask for or receive ANY kind of
IMM-related help; this includes corpse retrievals, spellups, assistance
locating chars, reimbursements, etc.
7. If you are a clan leader, you are expected to MUD on a regular basis.
If you do not actively play your character for three weeks, and have not
found a replacement, you will be removed as leader.
8. Clan leaders must be tier 2 and at least level 50.
9. In order to form a new clan, you must follow these rules:
a. Have two people involved in forming the clan.
b. Have the cash/cubics to create it and support it.(see help prices)
10. You must ALWAYS have at least THREE members of your clan ACTIVELY
PLAYING the game. This means that if your membership drops to less than
three members for more than one month, your clan will be disbanded and dropped
from the list of clans.
11. As a member of a clan, you are expected to assist other members of your
clan. This includes spellups, corpse retrievals, levelling, etc.
12. If you reroll a clan leader into, you must find three
current members of your clan to "sponsor" you back into the leader position.
The three members can email, note, or verbally give their nominations to
the Implementors.
~
0 SUICIDE DELETE~
Use the delete command to erase unwanted characters, so the name will be
available for use. This command must be typed twice to delete a character,
and you cannot be forced to delete. Typing delete with an argument will
return your character to 'safe' status if you change your mind after the
first delete. Second tier players should use reroll to recreate a
character, instead of the delete command.
~
0 REROLL~
The reroll command may be used once you reach hero status in the first
tier of classes, or at any time while playing a second tier character.
This command must be typed twice to reroll a character, and you cannot
be forced to reroll. Typing reroll with an argument will return your
character to 'safe' status if you change your mind after the first reroll.
After typing reroll the second time, you will be forced to quit. When
you reconnect, you will have to re-create your character, but will be
given the second tier classes to choose from, instead of the first tier
classes. (see 'help tier')
After rerolling, you will start out in your new class at level 1, so
this command is similar to deleting and recreating your character.
~
0 TIER~
.
There are currently a total of 28 classes on Death Rising,
split into three seperate tiers.
{GTier {g1{W | {YTier {y2 {W| {RTier {r3{W | {BTier {b4{x
{W================================================{x
{GM{gage{W | {YW{yizard {W| {RI{rnvoker {W| {BS{borcerer{x
{GC{gleric{W | {YP{yriest {W| {RB{rishop {W| {BT{bemplar{x
{GR{gogue{W | {YT{yhief {W| {RM{rercenary {W | {BA{bssassin{x
{GW{garrior{W | {YB{yerserker {W| {RG{rladiator {W | {BK{bnight{x
{GT{gracker{W | {YH{yunter {W| {RR{ranger {W | {BS{btrider{x
{GD{gruid {W| {YS{yhaman {W| {RS{rage {W | {BE{blder{x
{GR{gevenant {W| {YV{yampire {W| {RL{rich {W | {BC{bainite{x
Tier 2 is notably stronger then tier 1, and tier 3 is notabaly
stronger then tier 2 or 1, and tier 4 is notably stronger
then all the other tiers Death Rising.
Though before you advance to tier 2, 3, or 4 you must become a
Hero (level 201), and must reroll into the next tier
(help reroll).
You do NOT have to choose a class in the same slot as your
previous class, you may choose any class. In other words;
a Mage does NOT have to become a Wizard, and Gladiator
does NOT have to become a Berserker.
~
0 HEALER~
The healer decided to grab a quick buck, and now charges for his heals. Some
services are still free to players of level 30 or below, however. To see
a full listing of the healer's services, type 'heal' at his residence. To
receive healing, bring plenty of money, and type 'heal <spell>'.
~
-1 GAIN~
The gain command is used to learn new skills, once the proper trainer has
been found. (Check New Thalos) The following options can be used with gain:
gain list: list all groups and skills that can be learned
gain points: lower your creation points by 1 (costs two sessions)
gain <name>: add a skill or skill group, at the listed cost
gain convert: turns 6 practices into one training session
gain study: turns 1 training session into 6 practices
Gain uses training sessions, not practices. (see 'help train')
Gained skills and groups do NOT increase your experience per level or total
number of creation points.
~
-1 RESTRING~
Syntax: restring obj <string>
The restring command is used to change the name of an object in your
inventory. Only specific trainers have the ability to restring an object
for you (Check New Thalos), and charge you 8 quest points per item.
Restringing an object will only change the short name of the object, not
the long description or keywords associated with that object, so you will
still have to use the original keywords to use a restrung object.
For example:
Object to be restrung is 'an imperial sword',
> restring sword a battle axe
This will now show up as 'a battle axe' in your inventory, and will use
this string in actions: '<char> wields a battle axe' or '<char> gets a
battle axe'.
Because the keywords of the object are not changed, to wield or
manipulate this object, you will still need to use 'sword' or 'imperial',
ie: get sword wield sword
~
102 CLONE~
Syntax:
clone obj <object>
clone mob <mobile>
clone <name>
The clone command duplicates an object or mobile. The level of item or mobile
that may be cloned depends on your level. The target object or mob must be in
the same room as you, or in your posession. Strung and set information is
preserved by clone, as well as any spell effects and container contents or
mobile inventory, except for items which are too high for you to clone.
Strung extended descriptions on objects are not kept, however.
~
110 RANDCLAN~
Syntax: randclan
Randclan will move the entrances to all clan halls to new randomly selected
locations. This is automatically done by the system at boot, and once per
day thereafter, but can be called by an implementor to correct any problems
in the choice of locations from the last automatic run.
~
0 SKILLS SPELLS~
The skills and spells commands are used to display your character's list
of available skills (or spells, as the case may be). They are listed in
order of level, with mana cost (for spells) or percentage (for skills)
listed where applicable.
~
0 OUTFIT~
The outfit command, usable by levels 9 and below, equips your character with
a new set of sub issue gear (banner, weapon, helmet, shield, and vest),
courtesy of the Mayor's warehouses. Only empty equipment slots are affected.
~
0 AUTO AUTOLIST AUTOLOOT AUTOGOLD AUTOSAC AUTOEXIT AUTOASSIST AUTOSPLIT AUTOSTORE AUTOPEEK~
ROT uses varies automatic actions, to ease the boredom of always splitting
gold and sacrificing corpses. The commands are as follows:
autolist : list all automatic actions
autoloot : take all equipment from dead mobiles
autogold : take all gold from dead mobiles
autosac : sacrifice dead monsters (if autoloot is on, only empty corpes)
autoexit : display room exits upon entering a room
autosplit : split up spoils from combat among your group members
autoassist: makes you help group members in combat
autostore : saves all tells during combat
autopeek : will show inventory during a look <char> (with the peek skill)
Typing a command sets the action , typing it again removes it.
~
-1 CLAN~
A Clan is a collection of players, united to follow and further
a common cause. Each clan has rules and regulations, to find out
more about clans and their 'beliefs' type "help <clan name>". Only
Clan members can kill or steal from other players. To join a Clan
you must be level 25 or above and level 70 or below. Second tier
players may join a clan starting at level 15. Speak to the Clan
Leader about joining. If you go Loner before level 70 you may
join a Clan later.
Joining a Clan is a dangerous step. Many adventurers live to
kill and torture others and chances are that your paths will cross.
Clans may now choose to allow pkill or not, members of clans that
choose not to have pkill will be unable to attack other players, or
be attacked by others.
Existing Clans may buy special rooms and mobiles by acquiring
imm quest points as payment. To see room prices, type
"help prices". New Clans may be formed by petitioning the immortals.
Please remember that their word is final on all matters not covered by
this help.
A list of current clans can be obtained with: clan list

-1 COUNT~
The count command displays the number of people (that you can see) logged
into the mud. It also displays the highest number observed that day, if
it is higher.
~
-1 GATE~
The gate spell is a powerful transportation magic that opens up a portal
between your character and another person or creature somewhere else in the
world. This portal will transport you and any pet you might have, but not
other members of your group. Monsters recieve a save against gate, and
monster or players more than 3 levels higher than you can not be gated to at
all. God rooms, private rooms, and no recall rooms cannot be gated to, and
no recall rooms cannot be gated out of. Finally, any god or hero is also
immune to gate, as well as any player who has no summon set. Clan members
may not be gated to except by their fellow Clan members.

102 WEAPONSTATS~
Weapon Stats
=====================================================================
This help is to be used as a guide for making weapons. The point of
this is to keep the mud in balance. The following shows the damdice
to use for it's level. DO NOT use any other values. Round to the
nearest level if the weapon is inbetween.
Level AVG Dice
=======================
0 6 3d3
5 9 3d5
10 12 4d5
15 15 5d5
20 17 5d6

100 95 10d18
101 119 14d16
Points for weapons.
============================
When putting in added affects a weapon recieves points. To determine
this you go by the level of the weapon. i.e. A level 55 weapon
recieves 110 points. These points can be used according to the chart
below. The formula for figuring out the points for a weapon would be
(weapon level) * 2 = Points.
Point chart:
============================
1 point = 1 mana
1 point = 1 hp
1 point = 5 move
5 points = 1 save, savingbreath, savingpara, savingrod, etc.
5 points = 1 ac
5 points = 1 stat (str,dex,con,wis, or int)
10 points = 1 hitroll
10 points = 1 damroll
10 points = vorpal, and sharp, each
20 points = vampiric, flaming, shocking, frost, and poison, each
-10 points = two handed
You can also add negative effects. For example a level 65 weapon with
-30 hps. You take half of the -30 and add it for extra points, thus
the weapon would have 80 points. Another example is a level 40 weapon
with -2 damroll would recieve half of those points. So it would be 50
points.
Please remember when creating weapons to make diverse weapons. Not just
swords, daggers, and the like. Try to keep a good mix of weapons in your area.
The only exception to these stats are powerweapons. These stats are onlyto be created after
checking with an IMM 108+.
~
-1 AFFECTS AFFECT~
This command is used to show all the spells affecting your character. At
low levels, only the spell name will be displayed, at higher levels the
effects and duration of the spell will also be shown. Spell effects
are no longer shown on score (this can be changed by using 'show' command).
