of protective magic. So adept have they become that they automatically gain every
known abjuration spell when they gain levels, including spells which only the
abjurer may master.
Although the Abjurer will not have the benefit of Enchantment spells, they are
still formidible foes. Their protective magic lasts much longer than that of other
mages, and they still have access to many of the most dangerous spells.

it is implied.

ALIAS
Command : ALIAS
Usage : ALIAS
Example : alias
Short(s):
This command will allow a player to manage a list of alias command strings.
Any command string a player enters which begins with one of the listed alias names
will be replaced with the given alias value. This allows players to create shorter
keywords for activating commands which might normally require longer strings.
ALIGNMENT
Your alignment represents your moral fiber, with Good representing selfless
benevolence, Evil representing selfish maliciousness, and Neutral representing the
balance of the two.
In combat, the amount of experience you receive from the vanquishing of a foe
depends partially on your alignment versus that of the creature you have killed.
In general, if you are Good and you kill a Good creature, or Evil and kill an Evil
creature, or Neutral and kill a Neutral creature, you receive least experience.
The amount of experience can vary depending upon how close to perfect Goodness,
perfect Evil, or pure Neutrality you are. In addition to receiving the least
amount of experience for violating this rule, you will find your characters
alignment slowly changing with each repeat offense.
For some classes, alignment can have other affects. Paladins must always be
good, and will find that their spellcasting ability disappears with their goodness.
Clerics may be good or evil, but their spell choices can profoundly impact their
alignment. A Good Cleric or Paladin who casts malicious spells will soon find
themselves becoming evil. Evil Clerics can suffer the same fate for using
benevolent spells.

damage from Invocation/evocation as levels advance. Receives
double duration from malicious Invocation/evocation magic, half
duration on other Invocation/evocation effects.
Desc. :
Alterers are specialist mages who concentrate their studies in the mastery of
altering the world around them. Their all-purpose skills serve them wonderfully in
combat, in the maintenance of their own health and equipment, and in becomming
successful adventurers. So skilled are they in the alteration of the universe that
they gain all known alteration spells, including some which only the alterer may
gain.
The Alterer suffers from a lack of access to the Evocation school of magic, the
long duration and heavy impact of their spells plus the general usefulness of their
school makes them a good choice for all mages. Since they have their own kind of
destructive magic, they will find they don't miss evocations at all.

advance by using his skills and gaining experience while he does! Artisans, like
Apprentices, may still choose to go into a more adventurous profession, but like
Apprentices, they are unable to go back.

centered on this art that he begins to slow his pace, learning and contemplating
each "mark" as the best method of killing them becomes clear. They also learn
skills in keeping track of and tracking down their marks, as well as other means of
making life for the targeted miserable, and short. The assassin can use any
weapons, unlike the standard thief, though his armor is still restricted.
ASSIST

Use this command to make requests of the Archons.

AUCTION
Command : AUCTION
Usage : AUCTION UP [ITEM] ([OPENING BID])
Usage : AUCTION BID [AMOUNT]
Usage : AUCTION LIST
Usage : AUCTION INFO
Usage : AUCTION CLOSE
Usage : AUCTION CHANNEL [MSG])
Example : auction up ring
Example : auction up ring 100
Example : auction bid 150
Example : auction channel the ring is really great!
Example : auction close
Example : auction list
Example : auction info
Short(s):
This versatile command is used by players wishing to auction items at real time
over the AUCTION channel, as well as by those wishing to bid on items up for
auction. To start an auction, the player enters AUCTION UP plus the name of the
item, and an optional starting bid. If there is no other auction going on at the
time, the auction will begin. Auctions last for a silent 5 minutes, plus 1 minute
for each going once/twice/sold. If no bids have been received after the first 3
minutes, the item will proceed directly to the going once/twice/sold period. The
person putting on the auction may, at any time, close the auction without penalty
by entering "auction close", or communicate on the auction channel (to give a
better item description perhaps) using "auction channel [message]".
To place a bid on an auction that is ongoing, a player need only enter "auction
bid [amount]". Where amount is the maximum amount the player will pay for the
item. A proxy bidding system is in place for all auctions. The current bid on the
item will always be less than or equal to the bid of the high bidder, and at least
1 gold more than the bid of the previous high bidder. This means that, if the
current bid on an item is 5, and a player bids 10, the new bid will become 6 (one
more than the previous high bid). If another player then bids 20, the new bid will
become 11.
Players can also get information on a live auction while it is going on by
entering AUCTION INFO or AUCTION LIST.
When an auction ends, the system will attempt to automatically complete the
transaction for both the bidder and the auctioneer. The proper money will be
transferred (in converted notes) from the high bidder to the auctioneer. The item
up for auction will be automatically transferred from the auctioneer to the high
bidder. The auction house may take a cut both when then auction is placed up, and
on the final price.
See also help on AUCTIONS
AUCTIONS
Auctions are a system whereby players can buy and sell items from each other
using an open bidding system. In this system, a bidder places a bid which
represents the most they will pay for the item. However, a bidder must only end up
paying an amount equal to the most anyone ELSE would also pay, so long as it is
less than their own maximum bid.
This game supports two kinds of auctions. One is a multi-game-day auction,
which requires that you find an auctioneer mob and use commmands like BUY, SELL,
VIEW, and BID. The game also supports a live auction system, which is managed using
the AUCTION command. Only one such live auction is allowed at any one time. See
help on the above commands for more information.

Armor : Must wear non-metal armor.
Bonuses : Damage reduction 1pt/5 levels. A 1%/level resistance to
Enchantments. Receives bonus conquest experience.
Limits :
Desc. :
Barbarians are the wild warriors of the frontier. Their ability to deal large
amounts of damage in combat, as well as inspire combative behaviors in others makes
them especially ferocious. They are fond of mastering numerous weapons, and
building up their bodies, though they distrust metal armors, and may not wear them
without difficulties.
How to play: Barbarian combat skills make them desirable as group members.
While their non-metal armor restriction can sometimes hurt their nomination as
tanks, their ability to deal and absorb large amounts of damage can more than make
up for anything lacked. Because of this, the Barbarian flourishes as well alone as
in groups.
The Barbarian is every bit as strong a fighter as a pure Fighter, and has that
extra combative edge that many players look for in a Class. Players who dislike
subtelty and enjoy straight up hack-and-slash playing will enjoy the Barbarian's
simple destructive style.
BARD
Char Class: Bard (Bard)
Max-Stats : Charisma (25), Others (18)

level(s)
Weapons : Must use swords, daggers, natural, or ranged weapons.
Armor : Must wear non-metal armor.
Bonuses : Receives group bonus combat experience when in an intelligent
group, and more for a group with players. Receives exploration
and pub-finding experience based on danger level.
Limits :
Desc. :
Bards are traveling singers, whose "songs" can possess powerful magic. They
are highly desired group members for the inspiration they bring to their team
members, and the great stings they provide to their enemies. They possess the same
weapon and armor restrictions as thieves, but also qualify for many thief skills.
Bard is the basis for numerous sub-classes which the player may choose to gain
levels in at any time. These sub-classes include the Charlatan, Dancer, Minstrel,
and the Jester.
How to play: The great strength of the bard is in his wide assortment of
skills, and in his powerful songs. The bard may try his hand as the lonesome
traveler, but will find his skills still put him behind his peers. It is in the
company of other, more powerful classes, that the bard will flourish. And because
of the unique nature of his magic, and how his skills will always affect groups,
that groups will always want to have a bard along.
Bards are as weak as thieves in combat, and lack their general sneakiness, so
in the company of others must the bard find his path to greatness, filling any
skill gaps in almost any group with the appropriate magic or ability.
BATH
What you need to do if you start stinking. If you can't find a bathtub, just

among animal followers. Can create a druidic connection with an
area. Benefits from animal/plant/stone followers leveling.
Benefits from freeing animals from cities.
Limits : Must remain Neutral to avoid skill and chant failure chances.
Desc. :
Like Tarzan or Grizzly Adams, the BeastMaster is the lord of his particular
jungle, being both the guardian and master steward of the animal kingdom. Unlike
the other druids then, the beastmaster takes great pride in his animal changing
abilities, and receives many more animal forms as he progresses in level. The
beastmaster is also more accutely aware of the dangers of the wild, and is thus a
much more physical and able fighter than other druids tend to me.
How to play: The Beastmaster is the perfect loner druid class, though he is
never truly alone with all the animals he can summon to his side. He also has
numerous ways of enhancing his own innate fighting ability through magical chants,
making him formidable even when adventuring without animal companions.
BID

Short(s):
When an auctioneer is present in the same room or area as your character, this
command will allow you to place a bid on an item from that auctioneer. Placing a
bid automatically removes coin from your person.
If your maximum bid is beat by another bidder (you are outbid), then you will
automatically receive a refund. You must then return to the auctioneer to place
another bid.
If you win the auction, you will be notified after the auction ends. You must
then return to the auctioneer and use the BUY command to claim your merchandise.
You will not be charged for claiming an item you won in auction. If the item sold
for less then your maximum bid, the auctioneer will give you a refund of the
difference when you claim the item.

Desc. :
The burglar is the thief who has made the accumulation of wealth and power his
center of being, to the detriment of all else. The taking of the property of
others by stealth, wits, or even charm makes him the bane of the rich and lawful
alike. This most purist of thieves also has superior skill at being undetected in
the performance of these dastardly deeds, though he stands at a slight disadvantage
to better trained thieves if caught.

listed using CLANLIST. Members apply to clans using CLANAPPLY, and are either
accepted by the clan using CLANACCEPT or rejected using CLANREJECT, after listing
the applicants names using CLANDETAILS. Bosses can set up autorejecting
qualifications to the clan using CLANQUAL. Once accepted, members can be removed
using CLANEXILE or promoted to other offices using CLANASSIGN. Members can leave
on their own using CLANNRESIGN. Offices like Treasurers can deal with special Clan
bankers and postmen on their Clans behalf. Members can cast "Clan Donate" to their
clans after the boss has used CLANDONATESET to set a donation room for their clan.
Members can share their experience points with the clan if the bosses have set up
an experience tax rate using CLANTAX. Members also have access to the spell "Clan
Home" which they can use to recall to the room set by the boss using CLANHOMESET.
Clan activity is very important. If the minimum number of members is not
maintained, then pending or inactive clans may be deleted by the system. Once there
are several active clans, the bosses may use CLANDECLARE to declare relations
between their clan and others. The bosses may also want to use CLANPREMISE to
describe their clan.
There are four different types of clans: GANG, GUILD, UNION, and FELLOWSHIP.
See the HELP entry for each of these clan types for more information.

CLERIC
Char Class: Cleric (Cleric)
Max-Stats : Wisdom (25), Others (18)
Qualifiers: Wisdom 9+
Prime Stat: Wisdom Attack Pts: +(Wis/18) per level
Practices : 5 +(Wisdom/6)+2 per level Trains : 3 +1 per level
Hit Points: 20 +(Con/3)+1d10 per level Mana : 100 +(Int/4)+1d4 per
level
Movement : 100 +(Str/18)X10 per level Damage Pts: +1 damage per 30
level(s)
Weapons : Evil must use polearm, sword, axe, edged, or natural. Neutral
must use blunt, ranged, thrown, staff, natural, or sword. Good must use blunt,
flailed, natural, staff, or hammer.
Armor : May wear any armor.
Bonuses :
Limits : Using prayers outside your alignment introduces failure chance.
Desc. :
Clerics are the great vassals of the Gods. Through them the wonders of both
good and evil are possible. Clerics possess great magical abilities in their
numerous "prayers". While their weapon choices are limited to their alignment,
they may wear any type of armor.
The Cleric is the general of priests, appeasing all the gods equally, or
choosing to focus on one at his whim. However, should the cleric wish to show true
devotion, he can gain levels in specialist classes which may or may not be
available to him, depending on his disposition. These classes include: Templar,
Shaman, Doomsayer, Necromancer, Missionary, Purist, Healer, or Oracle.
How to play: The first, last, and greatest strength of the good Cleric is in
his ability to heal, just as the ability to harm aids the evil Cleric. A Cleric is
unique in his ability to flourish either alone or in groups, being moderately
skilled in combat, and having the healing ability to last a long time in a tough
fight. Clerics are highly desired for groups, however, as the lead fighter in the
group will want the Cleric's healing touch in battle.
The only weakness of the Cleric is offensively, which the evil Cleric will make
up for with harmful magic, and the good Cleric will compensate for with healing
spells to last out the battle. With a balanced approach, the Cleric can gain
experience with the efficiency of a fighter.

cold, wet or dry, or any combination of these.

Conjurers are specialist mages who concentrate their studies in the mastery of
movement. They are adept at transporting themselves and other creatures, as well
as items and entire armies with their powerful spells. So adept are they at
conjuration that they gain all known conjuration spells, including some which only
the conjurers may understand.
The Conjurer may lack Transmutation abilities, but he does not miss that
strange magic. After all, it's always better to be yourself, wherever you might
find yourself.
CONQUEST
One or more areas in the realm may be designated as conquerable by clans.
To conquer an area, or even to discover if an area CAN be conquered, the clan
must use the Clan Crafting skill to construct a clan Flag. The Flag must then be
dropped into any room in the area. Doing so will tell you if the area is
conquerable, who controls it if anyone, how many CONTROL POINTS are required to
control the area, and how many control points any warring clans may presently have
in the area. An area not currently controlled by any clan may freely be conquered.
An area already controlled by a clan may only be conquered by a rival clan if that
clan has properly declared War.
The clan Flag is the most important item in Conquest. The Flag must be on the
ground in order for any clan to score control points in an area, or to even
maintain control once the area has been conquered. If there is not at least one
Flag on the ground, a conquered area will revert to neutral status. Luckily, any
resident citizens in the same room as a conquerer's flag will tend to guard the
flag from thieves. Also, Flags can only be removed by a member of the clan whose
flag it is, or by a rival clan after they have completely conquered and control the
area.
Once a flag has been laid down, the clan whose flag it is may LOOK at the flag
at any time to see the status of their conquest; i.e. the number of control points
they have scored, and how many they must score to complete the conquest. A control
point is scored whenever a resident intelligent mob of that area is killed, forced
(via charm or other methods) to follow a member of the conquering clan, or (in the
case of a Theocracy) converted to the faith. Control points awarded are equal to
the level of the intelligent mob killed, charmed, or converted. Control points will
also fade over time, to reflect a restoration of order in the area.
If an area is already under the control of a clan, the resident mobs will
resist invasion by rivals. Once an area is conquered, however, all resident mobs
will instantly repudiate any previous controlling clan, drop any clan items they
may be carrying, and swear allegiance to the conquering clan. At this point, any
clan members who are designated as having conquerers privileges may ORDER any
non-animal member of the area to do anything they like. Control points become
irrelevant to the conquerers once conquest is complete. A number of days following
the conquest of an area, the area will be in dispute as order is restored. During
this period, no items left by vanquished clans can be retreived. Once control is
completely established, however, the controlling clan may clear out the previous
clans items for experience.
Clan members are unable to gain any experience points inside their own
conquered areas. However, anyone else gaining experience in a clan controlled area
automatically pays the clans tax on their experience gain. This makes controlling a
large number of areas very lucrative for clans.
A conquered area benefits greatly from items created using Clan Crafting.
These items can be crafted by a designated Enchanter, given sufficient materials
and clan experience. Aside from the direct benefit of putting the residents of a
conquered area to work, clan crafted items in the hands of a conquered areas
residents also makes those residents happy. Keeping such items in the hands of a
sufficient number of especially higher level mobs will stave off spontaneous
revolts, which become possible from time to time in a conquered area. During war,
clan items can be captured for additional clan experience by rival clans who have
properly declared war. The types and functions of clan items include:
Book of the Laws - These must be constructed inside the area for which the book
is intended. It will allow a properly privileged clan member to read and modify
numerous aspects of law and order in the area, including the location of jails, the
types of laws, and the duration of punishments. A Law Book must be read by clan
member authorized to change law before the Guardbanner and Gavel below will begin
working.
Guardbanner - These can be given to mobs in a conquered area to designate them
as deputys of the area, who are authorized to enforce laws and arrest lawbreakers.
Judges Gavel - This can be given to a mob in a conquered area to designate him
as the judge of the area, authorizing him to deal out punishments like parole, jail
time, or death.
Donation List - This item should be placed inside the official Donation Room
for a clan. If this is done, the list will automatically grow to include every
single addition and removal.
Pamphlet - These can be given to mobs conquered by RIVAL clans to make them
disloyal to the conquering clan. Pamphlets will have a tendency to spread over
time. Pamphlet holders will also drop any rival clan items they have, which hurts
control.
Shop Apron - These can be given to mobs conquered by your clan, or to mobs
permanently stationed at your clan home. They turn the mob into a shopkeeper, who
will sell things in their shop inventory, and buy things as their coinage allows.
They can be GIVEN things to sell by clan members in proper authority over them.
They will not deal with clans with whom your clan is hostile or at war.
Membership Card - These can be given to mobs conquered by your clan to make
them utterly loyal to your clan. Mobs with membership cards will never accept
Pamphlets, and will take them away if they are offered any.
Gathering items - Items such as the Miners Pick and Lumberjacks Saw can be
given to mobs to make them work for the clan, performing the Common skill
associated with the item. If the mobs with these items are also Mobile, they may
also carry their resources to other mobs in the same area who need their resources
in order to use their Crafting items. Firebuilders are especially good at this
task, as they will carry wood they find to smiths and light the fires that the
smiths need to shape the metals.
Crafting items - Items such as the Tailors Needle and Potters Wheel can be
given to mobs to make them craft items for the clan, performing the Common skill
associated with the item. These mobs can be given example items to use as
templates for what they will attempt to make, or they can be given nothing to make
them craft items at random. For the skill to work, the mob must not have anything
in its inventory to confuse the skill, such as a Blacksmith item holder carrying
some smurfberries. Also, the holder must have the correct resource and sufficient
quantity in the room to work from, although, they may receive assistance gaining
the resources they need from mobs with Gathering Items.
Executioners Scales - This item makes the mob a tenacious attacker of evil
creatures and thieves.
Assassins Eye - This item makes the mob a tenacious attacker of good creatures
and paladins.
Scavengers Sticker - This item makes the mob a scavenger, picking anything up
they find on the ground.
Tax Collectors Clipboard - This item makes the mob a collector of tax money
from anyone who is not also a member of their clan.

The Dancer is the graceful master of dance, who entertains and leads others in
the joyous and powerful maneuvers of his craft. Like the Bard, the Dancer is a
highly desired group member for his "group affecting" skills, which include the
magical dances in which he specializes.
How to play: Due to his weak fighting skill, the Dancer will likely look to
groups for his primary advancement, much like the other bards. Dancers also gain a
select set of powerful fighter skills to prove the worth of their diligence in
maintaining his body. This makes them valuable group members, even without their
powerfully enhancing dances.

Desc. :
The Delver is a stolid druid of caves and the underdark, being the guardian of
the rocks and stone and the cold caverns of the deep. The Delver is unconcerned
with plants or the sky or the doings of the weather, or any of the creatures that
live upon it, relying rather on the solid earth to draw his power from. For this
reason, the Delver is particularly at home among the rocks, and is able to call
upon them to aid him at need.
How to play: The Delver requires little in the way of precasting or planning,
so long as he stays in cave or rocky environments. He is able to instantly call
upon the rocks and stones to help him in combat, and is friend to golems and stone
creatures. For this reason, the Delver is better able to fit into groups who wish
to adventure in the mountains and the underground, and can be a valuable leader
when its time to enter the deep dark.

Desc. :
Diviners are specialist mages who have mastered the arts of unconvering
secrets, and obtaining knowledge. The entire world is an open book for them, just
waiting for the pages to be turned. So adept do these mages become at divination
that they gain all known divination spells, including some which are even secrets
to the other mages!
The Diviner's love of knowledge means he loses the knack of casting spells of
illusion. However, they make up for this by being the most popular of advisors and
group members when strange and amazing treasures are uncovered, or some secret
needs to be told.
DOOMSAYER

Desc. :
Doomsayers are very special servants of the gods, whose proclaimations of fire
and brimstone give them resistance to fire attacks, as well as special powers
controlling it. The Doomsayer is an evil aligned class, meaning that he will
always fumble on good prayers, and does not qualify for good prayers. However, the
Doomsayer can use many dangerous edged weapons, any kind of armor, and gets
numerous special prayers that only the doomsayer can claim.
How to play: The Doomsayer is easily the most wicked, cruel, and hated of all
the Clerics. He is also the most social of the evil clerics, being a clear rival
to the Healer. He is best played as a loner in cities, bringing the wrath of his
God wherever he goes.

Abilities : Darkvision, infravision, Darkness(25%), Faerie Fire(25%)
Languages : Drowish(75%), Undercommon(25%)
Life Exp. : 430 Years
Desc. :
Drow are the dark cousins to elves. Their existence living underground had
radiated their bodies with dark magic and give them advantages in the cold, dark
world. However, they hurt plenty when exposed to light. They have the ability to
see in the dark, and can prove to be fiercesome fighters. All Drow start off with
the ability to cast darkness and faerie fire.

Bonuses : When leading animals into battle, will not divide experience
among animal followers. Can create a druidic connection with an
area. Benefits from animal/plant/stone followers leveling.
Benefits from freeing animals from cities. Benefits from
balancing the weather.
Limits : Must remain Neutral to avoid skill and chant failure chances.
Desc. :
Druids are mystical guardians of the natural world, and the wielders of natures
grandest powers. They may not wear metal, and can only use a small set of natural
weapons, but their notorious health and magical chants more than make up for this.
Like the natural world, Druids are restricted to a neutral alignment.
Druid is the starting point for numerous sub-classes which the player may
choose to gain levels in at any time. These sub-classes include: Delver,
Beastmaster, Gaian, and SkyWatcher.
How to play: The druid is the most complex class to play. Most of his magic
requires the assistance of numerous spells to bear fruit, but the benefits make the
complexity well worth it. The druid is also best fit for travelling with animal
armies of his own creation. In groups, the druid can assist with some extra fire
power at high levels. For the most part though, it is alone that the druid will
flourish, forming his own animal groups to make up for his weakness in combat.
Although weak in melee combat, due to equipment and skill limitations, the
druid is capable of marshaling all the powers of animals and plants to aid in the
vanquishing of foes for experience. At higher levels, as the powers of weather
come into play, the Druid will find their magical prowess unequaled by any other
class.

angered, the Enchanter can also twist their enemies to their will. So adept are
they at this art of change that they gain all known enchantment spells, even those
which only the enchanter may learn.
Enchanters love change so much that they neglect the protective magic of

level(s)

Bonuses : Receives bonus conquest experience.

Desc. :
Fighters are brutish weapon masters, skilled in the art of killing. They may
specialize in any weapon type, and learn numerous new fighting techniques as they
advance in level. Fighters receive more hit points and attack bonuses per level
than any other class, and are invaluable in a close melee.
Fighter is the starting point for numerous sub-classes which the player may
choose to gain levels in at any time. These sub-classes include: Monk, Ranger,
Paladin, and Barbarian.
How to play: The fighters strength is in his domination of pure combat. When
playing alone, a fighter is fully capable of gaining the necessary experience.
However, the fighter may choose to lead a group to gain an even greater advantage.
As the tank (primary melee combatant) in a group, the fighter will give the group
the benefit of his superior armor and fighting skill, while benefitting from the
healing spells of a cleric, or the magical aids of a mage.
The fighters greatest weakness is his inability to move secretly, or get into
or out of tricky spots. For this reason, the fighter outside of a group should
steer towards simple combat areas, and be content only with the treasures obtains
from his kills.

many cases, so use this command sparingly. If all of your opponents are asleep,
paralyzed, or bound, however, no loss is recorded for using this command.
FOLLOW
Command : FOLLOW
Usage : FOLLOW [MOB NAME]
Example : follow gunther
Short(s): FOL
In order to form adventuring groups, one or more characters may choose to
follow a leader character. The leader then becomes the group leader, and is able
to lead his or her followers around the map without their intervention. Followers
may also come to the defence of a leader who is attacked, or who attacks another
MOB. Lastly, leaders have the privilege of the ORDER command, to keep the
followers in line. The number of followers one may have depends upon their
Charisma score.
Use FOLLOW SELF to stop following someone else.
To force a follower to stop following you, use ORDER <MOBNAME> follow self
See also GROUP, NOFOLLOW, ORDER, FORMATION, and GTELL.
FORMATION
Command : FORMATION
Usage : FORMATION ([MOB NAME] [ROW NUMBER])
Example : formation
Example : formation joe 2
Short(s):
When a player has followers, this command can be used to show where in the
group order the player is located. The "front line" is considered row 0. The lead
player must always be on a row ahead or on the same row as his followers. When
formations are used in conjunction with AUTOMELEE, it can effectively aid archers
and mages with ranged spells in battle. The range of the group members in
formation, with respect to enemies, is always relative to the initial range of the
lead player in combat. That is to say, if a group member is set to be at row #1,
and the leader uses a bow to start off at range 3, then that group member will be
at row #4 instead (1 off from the leaders position).
Any member of a group can enter the FORMATION command without parameters to
view the current marching order. See also GROUP, FOLLOW, NOFOLLOW, ORDER, and
GTELL.

from freeing animals from cities.
Limits : Must remain Neutral to avoid skill and chant failure chances.
Desc. :
The Gaian is the druid of the green earth, watching over the plants, trees and
all growing things. The gaian has a very special relationship with the plants and
trees, having special abilities to make almost any location he steps into a
sanctuary for his leafed friends. So in tune with green things is the gaian that
sunlight can actually give his green tinted skin additional powers, though the
darkness will slightly weaken his chanting stamina. The gaian can also call on the
plants and trees around him to aid in him combat, to hide him from foes, or even to
provide him with the things one would normally have to seek civilization for.
How to play: The Gaian, so long as he stays around green plants, is a
formidable foe to all enemies of nature. The gaian can call all aspects of the
plants to his aid, and can always find sanctuary in the green plants during times
of trouble. The gaian is weak in native combat abilities, like the other druids,
but can make up for it with creative pre-casting, and good use of the power of
nature during combat.
GAIN
Command : GAIN
Usage : GAIN [SPELL NAME]
Example : gain blunt specialization
Short(s):
Gain is a command, supported in most DikuMUD derivatives, which allows you to
gain new abilities from certain kinds of mobs capable of teaching them. In
CoffeeMud, *anyone* can TEACH an ability to another, provided the student is
qualified to learn. However, since there are a few MOBs in CoffeeMud with the
MOBTrainer behavior, it should be noted that, so long as the request is phrased as
a SAY command, this command will still work.

and does not qualify for evil prayers. The Healer also gets a few special prayers
known only to the Healer, including the great Aura of Healing at 30th level.

not cure through the power of his god. In the heat of battle, or in the periods in
between, the Healer is a valued friend to those who take the brunt of battle. The
Healer can also try it alone if he likes, if he is willing to use patience and
plenty of cure spells to outlast his opponents.

to know for sure.

Players may purchase and develop property of their own to serve as their online

sale. Such properties will typically include a message such as "This lot is for
sale.". After finding such a property, the player should enter LOOK ID to discover
the properties unique lot number identifier. Write this down!
The next step is to find the local Property dealer for that area. He shouldn't
be too far away! Some property dealers deal in player property, and some only deal
with Clans. Make sure you find the right one to buy your lot from. When the
property dealer is found, you can use your lot number to purchase the correct lot
from the dealer.

their art that they gain all known illusion spells, even those known only to
illusionists.
So lost in their dreamworld is the Illusionist, that he forgets what is true,
and finds himself unable to remember his divination spells. However, the

defensive magic that can save him in times of need.

Limits :
Desc. :
The Jester is the joking, annoying, and sneaky fellow that few Bards like to
claim. Like the Charlatan, they remain associated with Bards due to their highly
social nature and their charismatic attitudes. The Jester is also amazingly
dextrous and slippery, due to the slapstick style of maneuvers he practices and
specializes in.
How to play: As the levels progress, however, few could argue the seriousness
of the Jesters power, should his goofy smile, for some reason, be turned around.
The Jester is still, clearly, a group player. He needs the strong tanking of
fighters, and other support classes to flourish, though he can still hold his own
if he manages not to take life too seriously.

MAGE
Char Class: Mage (Mage)
Max-Stats : Intelligence (25), Others (18)
Qualifiers: Intelligence 9+
Prime Stat: Intelligence Attack Pts: +(Int/18) per level
Practices : 6 +(Wisdom/6)+4 per level Trains : 3 +1 per level
Hit Points: 20 +(Con/6)+1d5 per level Mana : 100 +(Int/3)+1d4 per
level
Movement : 100 +(Str/18)X8 per level Damage Pts: +1 damage per 30
level(s)
Weapons : Must use daggers, staves, or natural weapons.
Armor : Must wear cloth, vegetation, or paper based armor.
Bonuses :
Limits :
Desc. :
Mages are masters of magic, and wielders of the great elemental powers. While
weak in hit points and in fighting skill, their spells are the most widely prized
and powerful of all the classes. They may not wear any metal or leather armors, or
use most weapons. However, the sting of their magic missiles and the armor of
magic they wear makes up for any loss.
Mage is the basis for numerous sub-classes which the player may choose to gain
levels in at any time. These sub-classes include: Abjurer, Alterer, Conjurer,
Diviner, Enchanter, Evoker, Illusionist, Transmuter, and Wizard.
How to play: Mages are among the most versatile of classes, being able to make
spell choices which carve out the path the Mage would like to take. For the loner
Mage, the emphasis on offensive magic will make him a powerful opponent in battle.
In groups, the mage may focus on protective magic to make him a more desirable
companion. And even the playful mage may focus on the role-playing magic to make
his mudding as fun as possible!
The mage is almost useless in weapon combat. The mage must be smart and
creative to use his spells to give him the edge. But the versatility of the mage
gives him the ability to do just that, using magic and guile to trick monsters to
their death, granting experience for the mage.
MAGIC_MISSLE
A common mispelling of MAGIC MISSILE.
MANA
The amount of energy your character has to use on skills, prayers, spells,
songs, or chants. This number will go up as your character advances in level.
Resting will replenish lost mana.
If you entered HELP MANA expecting help on the "Song of Mana", try HELP SONG
MANA.
ME
A name I call myself.
MINSTREL
Char Class: Minstrel (Bard)
Max-Stats : Intelligence (22), Charisma (22), Others (18)
Qualifiers: Charisma 9+, Intelligence 9+
Prime Stat: Charisma Attack Pts: +(Cha/18) per level
Practices : 5 +(Wisdom/6)+1 per level Trains : 3 +1 per level
Hit Points: 20 +(Con/3)+2d6 per level Mana : 100 +(Int/6)+1d2 per
level
Movement : 100 +(Str/18)X10 per level Damage Pts: +1 damage per 10
level(s)
Weapons : Must use swords, daggers, natural, or ranged weapons.
Armor : Must wear non-metal armor.
Bonuses : Receives group bonus combat experience when in an intelligent
group, and more for a group of players. Receives exploration and
pub-finding experience based on danger level.
Limits :
Desc. :
The Minstrel is the master of instruments and musical tools. So capable is a
minstrel in this art that he or she is able to draw forth magical and wonderous
powers from the instruments played. The Minstrel is able to craft and draw unique
powers from any of dozens of different musical instruments, with the only drawback
being how the chosen instrument impacts fighting or speaking ability while it is
being played.
How to play: The Minstrel is as social of a bard as the others, but due to his
many hours of lonely practice, the Minstrel also has an almost arcane like ability
to use instrumental magic for more solitary or unique benefits than the simple Bard
or Dancer. In the end, the Minstrel may become an orchestra of power unto himself,
capable of bringing tremendous benefit and joy to his group, or terrible
retribution to his foes. Therefore, if a player is looking for a bard to play when
groups are not available, this is the one to pick.
MISSIONARY
Char Class: Missionary (Cleric)
Max-Stats : Dexterity (22), Wisdom (22), Others (18)
Qualifiers: Wisdom 9+ Dexterity 9+

level
Movement : 100 +(Str/18)X10 per level Damage Pts: +1 damage per 30
level(s)
Weapons : Must use swords, staves, natural, ranged, or blunt weapons
Armor : May wear any armor.
Bonuses : Never fumbles neutral prayers, and receives 1pt/level luck bonus
to all saving throws per level. Receives 1pt/level electricity
damage reduction.
Limits : Using non-neutral prayers introduces failure chance. Vulnerable
to acid attacks.
Desc. :
Missionaries are the crusading adventurers for the gods, exploring and
spreading the good word of their deity far and wide. So energetic and mobile are
the Missionaries that they seem like the wind, and in fact gain many powers of wind
and electricity. The Missionary is a neutral aligned class.
How to play: Although Missionaries can flourish with other missionaries, they
do their best work alone, bringing the word of their god, as well as his wrath when
necessary, to the unwashed masses. Missionaries will sometimes be asked to join
groups so as to deliver some of that "olde-tyme neutral punch", and can even be
useful to them if he strikes a careful balance with the good and evil prayers he
qualifies for.

ability. Receives trap avoidance. Receives bonus conquest

Limits :
Desc. :
Monks are the agile and graceful masters of their own bodies. Combining quick
reflexes with intense study of the martial arts makes them a powerful and
intimidating opponent. Although Monks may use weapons, most of their power and
unique ability comes when they are completely unarmed. And since they depend so
heavily on their agility, they will find themselves wearing only light cloth
armors.
How to play: Either alone or in groups, the Monk is a dizzying class to play.
Capable of more pure attacks than any other class, and loaded down with dozens of
Monk-specific physical feats makes the Monk almost mage-like in complexity. In
fact, the player who loathes worrying about staying up-to-date on equipment, but
who enjoys the pure fight may be especially attracted to Monk.
Like all fighters, the Monk will gain experience principally through the
vanquishing of foes. Although the armor restriction can seem daunting, the Monks
extra dexterity bonus to armor, and the wide variety of attacks and defences makes
them every bit as powerful (if not much more) than the other fighter classes.
MORGUE
The place where ones body is when one dies.
MOTD
Command : MOTD (AGAIN)
Usage : MOTD
Example : motd
Short(s):

MOUNT
Command : MOUNT
Usage : MOUNT [RIDEABLE NAME] ([RIDEABLE NAME])

Short(s): ride
Your character attempts to mount a horse, or other rideable creature, carriage,
boat, or item. Once mounted, the creature can be navigated around by use of the
normal N,S,E,W navigation commands. Some rideables may also be mounted on others,

creatures can be mounted onto beds or chairs against their will with this command
also.
MOVEMENT

based skills, or retreating in combat. This number will go up as your character
advances in level. Resting will replenish lost movement.
MUD
Stands for Multi-User Dungeon. It's also a common word for dirt saturated with
water.
MULTICLASS
Each class was designed to reach it's peak of gainable skills at level 30.
Changing to another class is done by going to your respective guild and training in
the class of your choice. The classes you can become are listed when you type
QUALIFY. Changing to another class is done using the TRAIN command.
When multiclassing, always keep in mind the classes you want to become and how
far you would want to go in them. Some classes affect others in a negative way. If
you plan to get to level 30 with three subclasses, train in the first before your
first level of the game. This ensures level 30 status with all the classes.
Just keep track of how far you feel like taking each class, whether it is to a
certain skill or to it's full potention. It is not required, but can add a
dimension to playing.
MULTIPLAY
Better ask an Archon before you try it!
MULTI_PLAY

Qualifiers: Wisdom 9+ Constitution 9+
Prime Stat: Wisdom Attack Pts: +(Wis/18) per level
Practices : 5 +(Wisdom/6)+2 per level Trains : 3 +1 per level
Hit Points: 20 +(Con/3)+1d10 per level Mana : 100 +(Int/4)+1d4 per

Bonuses : Can sense deaths at Necromancer level 15, and becomes a Lich upon
death at 30. Undead followers will not drain experience.
Limits : Always fumbles good prayers. Qualifies and receives evil
prayers. Using non-aligned prayers introduces failure chance.
Desc. :
Necromancers are the dark lovers of death and the dead, serving the gods in
this special and little appreciated realm. The Necromancer is an evil aligned
class, meaning that he will always fumble on good prayers, and does not qualify for
good prayers. However, the Necromancer can use many dangerous edged weapons, any
kind of armor, and gets numerous special prayers known only to the Necromancer,
such as the ability to animate all kinds of wicked undead, even at low levels.
Eventually, the Necromancer may even become a Lich himself!
How to play: Unlike most clerics, the Necromancer is not a good group player.
He does best alone with the friends he "makes" out of the dearly departed. The
necromancer is hated in towns, and may even be arrested if he brings his undead
"friends" to town for a visit. If the Necromancer keeps his charisma high, he can
lead a truly formidable army before which all others will surely tremble.

Desc. :
Ogres are the less enlightened kin to the giants, possessing great strength and
ferociousness at the expense of their intellect and dexterity . As they are
naturals at ripping things apart, they make excellent butchers. Their class
choices are limited, but any kind of Fighter or Barbarian would suit an ogre very
well.

Limits : Always fumbles evil prayers. Qualifies and receives good
prayers. Using non-aligned prayers introduces failure chance.
Desc. :
Oracles are those who seek the infinite wisdom of their god, forver probing the
vastness of divine knowledge. So knowledgable are the Oracles that they actually
begin to gain arcane divination spells in addition to their assortment of prayers.
The Oracle, being a seeker of truth and knowledge, is a good aligned class, meaning
that they will always fumble evil prayers, and do not qualify for them. Beyond
30th level, the Oracle begins to gain skills from other classes previously unknown
to him, as the mysteries of the universe begin to be revealed.
How to play: The Oracle is an often consulted player, much like the Arcane
diviner, for his ability to see beyond the obvious to the important truths around
him. For this reason, the Oracle may be often picked for grouping. The Oracle
himself, however, will need to determine if such a course is divinely inspired.
ORDER
Command : ORDER
Usage : ORDER
Example : order dog flee
Short(s):
If your character has any followers, whether characters or mobs, this command

be exactly the same. Currency may not be packaged. Raw resources, such as wood or
ore metals, may be packaged, but will not then be available for use by crafting
skills. To do that, you would need to bundle the resources instead. Items can be
removed from packages using the GET [NUMBER] FROM [PACKAGE] syntax.
PAGEBREAK
Command : PAGEBREAK
Usage : PAGEBREAK [LINE NUMBER]/DISABLE
Example : pagebreak 25
Example : pagebreak disable

PALADIN
Char Class: Paladin (Fighter)
Max-Stats : Strength (22), Wisdom (22), Others (18)
Qualifiers: Strength 9+, Wisdom 9+
Prime Stat: Strength Attack Pts: +(Str/18) per level
Practices : 3 +(Wisdom/6) per level Trains : 4 +1 per level
Hit Points: 20 +(Con/2)+2d6 per level Mana : 100 +(Int/8)+1d3 per

Movement : 100 +(Str/18)X12 per level Damage Pts: +1 damage per 30
level(s)
Weapons : May use any weapons.
Armor : May wear any armor.
Bonuses : Receives bonus conquest experience.
Limits : Must remain good to avoid spell/skill failure chance.
Desc. :
Paladins are holy fighters, possessing many of the traits of both Fighters and
Clerics, though in less intensity than either class alone. They may learn Cleric
spells at higher levels, and possess numerous fighting techniques. Their weapons
and armor choices are unlimited, but Paladins are restricted to a good alignment.
How to play: Paladin's have the potential of being the most powerful of
classes, and the most desired of group members. Their powerful combat skills and
auras of power make them the perfect tanks for groups, especially since their
Cleric healing abilities can allow them to fill this gap in a group. Alone, they
can also flourish, vanquishing evil with the efficiency of the fighter.
The only weakness of the Paladin is his reliance on goodness. In most muds,
this limits his adventuring choices greatly. However, his strengths for lasting
and winning in combat are so broad, he will quickly advance.
PAROLE
Parole is a sentence someone receives instead of jail time. A player that is
paroled may not leave the area, and is restricted from Recall and other similar
spells for the duration of the parole. A paroled player may not flee combat.

another player.
PASSWORD
Command : PASSWORD
Usage : PASSWORD
Example : password
Short(s):
Allows you to change your characters password.
PERFUME
Perfume is something that makes you smell pretty.
PETS
Players, especially at lower levels, may wish to purchase or charm animals or
other creatures to follow them. These creatures are called pets, and will usually
assist the player in combat. This can aid a player who has trouble surviving,
though pets will also siphon off some experience the player would otherwise receive
alone. Rangers and Druids adventuring with pets are not hindered in this way,
however. The number of pets or followers you can have depends on your Charisma
score.
PLAYERKILL
Command : PLAYERKILL
Usage : PLAYERKILL
Example : playerkill
Short(s):
Toggles whether or not your character may kill, and be killed by other players.

Powers are what a deity bestows upon Clerics for performing the required
ritual. Clerics receive a random power of their god.
PRACTICE
Command : PRACTICE
Usage : PRACTICE [SKILL OR SPELL NAME] ([TEACHER MOB NAME])
Example : practice sneak Horice
Short(s):

the proficiency of your ability is to practice it. A skill or spell can only be
practiced with those characters or mobs who already know the skill or spell
sufficiently. You must also have at least 1 practice point to practice a skill or
spell.
PRACTICES
Practice points are used to improve skills, spells, prayers, chants, or songs.
They may also be spent on certain new skills. Use the SKILLS, SONGS, PRAYERS,
CHANTS, or SPELLS commands to see what skills you may practice. Use the QUALIFY
command to see what skills you may gain.

to improve, and then using the PRACTICE command. See HELP PRACTICE for more
information on how to use this command to improve skills.
PRAY

PURIST
Char Class: Purist (Cleric)
Max-Stats : Charisma (22), Wisdom (22), Others (18)
Qualifiers: Wisdom 9+ Charisma 9+
Prime Stat: Wisdom Attack Pts: +(Wis/18) per level
Practices : 5 +(Wisdom/6)+2 per level Trains : 3 +1 per level
Hit Points: 20 +(Con/3)+1d10 per level Mana : 100 +(Int/4)+1d4 per

Armor : May wear any armor.
Bonuses : Receives 1pt/level cold damage reduction.
Limits : Always fumbles evil prayers, and fumbles all prayers when
alignment is below pure neutral. Qualifies and receives good
prayers, and bonus damage from good spells. Using non-aligned
prayers introduces failure chance. Vulnerable to fire attacks.
Desc. :
Purists are the idyllic representatives of the goodness of divinity. They are
so strict in their goodness that they seem to many cold and unyielding. This nature
is so ingrained, in fact, that the purist gains many cold and cold-based attacks
and defensive prayers. This includes special powers over water and purity. The
Purist is a good aligned class, meaning that he always fumble evil prayers.
How to play: The Purist is a wonderfully social cleric, though only in the
sense that he is often found with other people. His strict unyielding prayers can
sometimes get annoying glances from group members, though the Purist should remain
resolute in his convictions that he is right. Overall, the Purist is a good
balanced cleric who can hold his own, as well as a valued group member (so long as
he keeps his mouth shut).

character presently qualifies for, but does not know, along with the requirements

thief, skills, common, expertises, etc) to get a more focused list (and, in the
case of expertises, to see the qualifications for each one).
QUESTCHAT
QUESTCHAT is the default Questing channel for CoffeeMud. If you see someone,
especially a non-player mob, chatting on this channel, it is likely because he is
announcing the beginning of a quest.
QUESTS
Quests are tasks which can be completed by players for prizes, typically quest
points, experience, money, or all three. Some quests are driven by Archons, while
others are automated by the system. See also QUESTCHAT and QUESTWINS. Archons
should enter AHELP QUESTS for more information on creating automated quests.
QUEST_POINTS
Quest Points, gained through completing quests, can be spent with special
shopkeepers who exist for this purpose.
QUIET
Command : QUIET
Usage : QUIET

RACES
Try HELP DROW, DUERGAR, DWARF, ELF, GNOME, HALFELF, HALFLING, OGRE, GOBLIN, or
HUMAN.
RANGE
When combat is initiated, CoffeeMud will instantly determine the distance
between the two combatants. The initial distance will be based on the size of the
room the players are in, and the maximum range of the weapon or spell used by the
initiator of combat. If either combatant is in a group, the initial distance of
the group members from their combatant will be based on their formation (see
FORMATION) if one was specified.
During combat, if a combatant is out of range of their primary weapon, they
will automatically advance towards their opponent until they are within the minimum
range of their primary weapon. If a combatant has AUTOMELEE turned *off*, however,
they will do the opposite -- they will not advance if they are out of range, but
WILL spend actions retreating if they are too close to their opponent (outside the
minimum range of their weapon). AUTOMELEE should therefore be turned on for
fighters who use melee weapons and need to make sure they constantly advance, and
should be turned off for mages using ranged spells, or users of ranged weapons like
bows.
RANGER
Char Class: Ranger (Fighter)
Max-Stats : Strength (22), Intelligence (22), Others (18)
Qualifiers: Strength 9+, Intelligence 9+
Prime Stat: Strength Attack Pts: +(Str/18) per level
Practices : 3 +(Wisdom/6) per level Trains : 4 +1 per level
Hit Points: 20 +(Con/2)+2d6 per level Mana : 100 +(Int/8)+1d3 per
level

level(s)
Weapons : May use any weapons.
Armor : May wear any armor.
Bonuses : When leading animals into battle, will not divide experience
among animal followers. Receives bonus conquest experience.
Benefits from animal followers leveling.
Limits : Must remain Neutral to avoid chant failure chances.
Desc. :
Rangers are noted primarily for their ability to track their friends and
enemies, though their knowledge of the natural world has also given them great
magical strength. They are a cross between the fighter and the druid, gaining
druid chants at higher levels, and numerous fighting techniques.
How to play: Rangers can provide a unique opportunity for experience
advancement in a mud. Their combat skills make them desirable as group members as
tanks. Their ability to use scrolls gives them access to magic that grants them
some of the mages versatility. Meanwhile, the druidic chants they learn gives them
a unique affinity with animals, allowing them to form their own groups as well.
The Ranger, like the Paladin, is not quite as strong a fighter as a pure
fighter, but makes up for this using his magical animal affinity. Also, the Ranger
will have to be careful to maintain a neutral alignment in order for the druidic
chants to become useful. In the meantime, the ranger must use scrolls and other
magical items to supplement his natural fighting skill.
READ
Command : READ
Usage : READ ([SPELL] [TARGETS]) (MESSAGE#) (ALL) (NEW) [ITEM NAME]
Example : read sign
Example : read "magic missile" orc scroll
Example : read 1 cork board
Example : read all corkboard
Example : read new corkboard
Example : read all new corkboard
Short(s):
Attempts to read, by ordinary means, the item, door, journal, or any other
entity specified. For scrolls, you may specify a particular spell to read off of
the scroll, thus invoking it. For scrolls with only one spell, you do not need to
specify the spell name. Scroll require that the "Read Magic" spell be cast on them
before they may be invoked. For journals (note areas), you can either not specify
a message number to list all messages, or specify the message number as the second
parameter in order to read a particular message. You can also specify the all flag
to see older listings, or the new flag to only see new activity entries.
REBUKE
Command : REBUKE
Usage : REBUKE [MOB NAME]
Example : rebuke brutus
Short(s):
This command allows your character to stop serving a liege, or to cause a
vassal serving you or a follower to no longer do so. If you are rebuking a vassal,
they must be in the same room. If you are rebuking your liege, or a follower, you
need only enter their full name. This command can also be used to stop worshiping
a deity. See the SERVE command and the CONVERT skill.
RELIGION
The worship of the gods not only has a role playing aspect to it, but can have
tangible benefits for players as well.
The DEITIES command may be used to list the gods, and to learn about the
blessings given by and the rituals demanded by each deity. Once a player is a
worshipper of a deity, they may use the rituals to receive one of the listed
blessings. Gods may have alignment or other requirements which, if broken, can
bring their wrath down upon those they rebuke.
To worship a deity, the player must find a Cleric who can use the CONVERT skill
to convert the player to the worship of their deity. Clerics may use the CONVERT
skill to change their own deity at any time, though they will suffer a severe
penalty when they abandon their previous deity.

REMORT
Remorting requires careful planning and, if you don't have the benefits of
certain Druidic chants, lots of time. Remorting is done through your children.
Children are created by using the MATE social with a member of the opposite sex
while the both of you are suitably undressed. If pregnancy occurs in the female,
birth will occur some 10 mud-months following this, though the time required to
give birth is highly race-dependent. The child should remain in the mothers
inventory until it can walk, which occurs 9 mud- months following birth (more or
less, depending on race again). If the child is Christened by a Cleric with a
player legal name, and if the child remains as a follower of either the father or
the mother until it grows up, it will become a player, which occurs 18-27
mud-months after birth. If the child does not remain an active follower, or if it
is never Christened, it will grow up to be a mob, or perhaps not grow up at all!
Should the named child grow up, the child will cease to be a following mob, and
become a player which can be logged-in as. The child may be a mixed breed of the
mother and father if one of them is a Human and the other is not. Racial benefits
will be split between the mother and father, though children will have a bonus to
one of their maximum stats when they become a player, making them a good choice for
playing!

REPUTATION
Reputation refers to the feelings that mobs in particular places, or particular
races, or with particular names have about each player. Reputation can be gained
or lost on a per-Area basis, a per-Race basis, or for each individual mob name. By
default, players start off with a Neutral reputation, meaning that the mobs will
not react one way or another towards the player. Player behavior towards the mobs,
over time, will increase or decrease reputation.
Reputation is increased from neutral to Liked, Loved, and Hero by the following
methods:
1. Peacefully hanging around the mobs for a long time, or within their Area for
Area-based reputation.
2. Chatting with mobs who will talk to players will increase reputation even
faster than simply hanging around them.
3. Giving mobs money will increase reputation with them, though this benefit
decreases as the mobs become richer.
When a players is Liked by mobs, the mobs will be in a brighter mood when
around the player. When Loved, the mobs will be more chatty with the player, may
cast benevolent spells on them, and will seem slightly more charismatic (for area
based reputation). When a Hero, the mobs will do all the above, as well as guard
the player from aggression. A Hero player will not be attacked by aggressive mobs.
Reputation is decreased from neutral to Disliked, Hated, and Villian by one of
two methods:
1. Killing them.
2. Getting arrested (for area based reputation).
When a players is Disliked by mobs, the mobs will be in a more sour mood when
around the player. When Hated, the mobs will be slightly more aggressive towards
the player. When a Villian, the mobs go out of their way to slaughter the player,
even if normally peaceful.

prayers. The Shaman is restricted to neutral weapons, any kind of armor, and gets
numerous special prayers known only to Shaman.
How to play: The Shaman is a typical village priest, having powers from his
deity well suited to almost any daily concern. His neutrality shows his wisdom,

The SkyWatcher is the master druid of the stars and heavens, being the very
powerful steward of the great wheel in the sky. The SkyWatcher maintains a special
connection with the moon, and gains numerous special abilities to summon great
powers from luna. So connected is he to the moon that his strength and powers will
fluxuate during the month, following the phase of the moon. A master of wind and
weather, the SkyWatcher is also very capable of bringing the heavens down upon his
enemies at need.
How to play: More even than the other druids, the SkyWatcher must concern
himself with pre-casting. That is to say, the SkyWatcher must be aware of his
environment at all times in terms of weather, time, temperature, and locale, and
must be fully prepared to alter these conditions to make them favorable to the
chants he means to use against his enemies in combat. All SkyWatchers must also
realize that their effectiveness when not outdoors will be almost nil, as
practically every chant requires the use of outside conditions and resources.
SLAVE
A slave is an intelligent mob broken down and sold to a liege master. Once
enslaved, a mob can be sold to slave traders with the Slave Trading skill, brought
to the players clan homes or personal homes to remain as permanent residents,
ORDERed as vassals of the owner, and, of course, command them to perform tasks.
Tasks for the slave to perform must be directed to the slave with the SAY command,
and must begin with the words "I command you to" or "I order you to". The slave
will then wander around as in a GEAS trying to perform the task. The slave can be
released from the task by saying "cancel" to them. Slaves are different from pets
in that they require food and drink to survive. If given the food and water, they
will eat and drink as necessary from what they have been given. Slaves eventually
lose loyalty as well. If they starve, or if they take damage for any reason, their
loyalty will decrease, making them more and more likely to leave their masters
homes, or attack their masters.

name. The Templar can use any weapons and armor, and can specialize in many
weapons as they increase in levels. The Templar is an evil aligned class, meaning
that they always fumble on good prayers, and do not gain any good prayers.
However, their Aura of Strife, and their increased number of attacks makes them a
formidable foe of all who oppose the will of their god.
How to play: The Templar is a brutal and formidable warrior, who wields death
and power in the name of his god. His devastating power makes him a great ally for
groups, but also a successful glory seeker when alone.

and may only wear leather armor at best. However, they come with numerous skills
allowing them to survive in the dog-eat-dog world, including swiping and stealing;
hiding, peeking, and sneaking; trapping, poisoning, and many others. Thieves also
qualify for many devious fighting abilities.
Thief is the starting point for numerous sub-classes which the player may
choose to gain levels in at any time. These sub-classes include: Assassin,
Arcanist (Arcane Rogue), Burglar, and Trapper.
How to play: The thieves strength is in his ability to obtain money, and in his
ability to navigate tricky situations. By accumulating the wealth of others, the
thief can stay comfortably equipped with the latest and best money can buy. When
playing alone, the thief thrives as the only class able to get into and out of any
secret place without stirring up unnecessary trouble. Although not generally
appreciated in groups, a group benefits from these skills, as well as the thiefs
unique ability to deliver enormous amounts of backstab damage.
The thief is only moderately skilled at combat, but can make up for it by using
his wealth to obtain favors, good equipment, and the necessary potions and scrolls
necessary to survive the experience gaining battles.

Transmuter is so skilled at his art that he gains all known transmutation spells
automatically, including the most secret and ugly of spells only the specialist may
learn.
Transmuters care nothing for conjuration, and so they soon neglect that kind of
magic, being more fascinated with the many shapes of things right here at home.
Although the Evoker believes himself the king of specialists with his harmful
beams, the Transmuter is the most feared and hated of specialists for the terrible
and awesome consequences of his spells.

Desc. :
Wizards are great specialist scholar mages who have mastered the study (but not
the art) of arcane magic. They are capable of memorizing and casting any basic
arcane spell, but their lack of mastery means they forget the spell as soon as it
is cast. This means that the wizard is constantly engaged in study, carrying
around and/or creating numerous arcane scrolls to serve as the source for their
next bit of magic. Since they don't specialize or train in particular arcane
spells, but can learn any spell, the Wizard is the most versitile Mage, though not
necessarily the easiest to engage in combat with.
The Wizards manner of study requires that he expend his spell-casting mana when
he learns or memorizes a spell, but this mana is released for use after the spell
is cast. Wizards can be invaluable as group members, and as clan members, but will
struggle adventuring alone. A wizards lack of need to expend training time on
individual spells means he can work on other aspects of himself, including stats or
expertises, making the Wizard very powerful in the long run.
