1 ! !! REPEAT DITTO LAST_COMMAND LAST_MESSAGE~
Syntax: !
Syntax: !! <channel>
Typing ! by itself will repeat the last command you typed.
Typing !! <channelname> will send the last command to <channelname>.
Example: if your last command was:
say I'll be back!
Then typing "!! chat"
will make you send:
chat say I'll be back!
(Of course your name will be in the chat)
You can even tell a few people a the same message. (DO NOT SPAM TO EVERYONE)
'tell Shogar This works well!'
'!! tell Beth'
'!! tell Ntanel'
It will still echo the whole line...
Yakkov tells 'tell Shogar This works well!'
To see all the channels available, type 'channels'. 
~

0 "REMOVE INVIS"~
Syntax: cast 'remove invis' <object>

This spell will make an invisible object in the character's inventory
visible.
This is an AGGRESSIVE spell when used on others. I.e, it will attack
another player if you attempt to use it on them.

1 A~
.                MOVING THROUGHOUT GAME:
                ---------------------------
The game divided into many rooms which are connected by various
directionals to make up areas.  When you are in a room, you can
find the exits in the room by typing EXITS.  Autoexit is a helpful
command to initiate (type CONFIG +AUTOEXIT), because it will
automatically show you what exits there are in the room.  Be warned
however, you will only see the obvious exits.  You must pay attention
to the room descriptions to see if there might be any doors or hidden
passages in the room.

Directional commands: (in parentheses you find the shorthand)
NORTH (n)    SOUTH (s)    EAST (e)    WEST (w)     UP (u)     DOWN (d)
NORTHEAST (Ne)  NORTHWEST (Nw)  SOUTHEAST (Se)  SOUTHWEST (Sw)

Note:  You will notice that in the prompt <20hp 10bp 20mv>, the 'mv'
       refers to your movement points.  If your movement points were
       to run out, you will be unable to move between rooms due to
       exhaustion.  If you type SLEEP or REST your movement points will
       slowly be replenished.  You must type STAND or WAKE before
       walking again.
~

110 AASSIGN~
Syntax: aassign <filename>.are  Example:  aassign edo.are

AASSIGN temporarily assigns all rooms, objects, and mobiles in the area
range to your pfile.  This allows you to use rlist, olist, mlist, and
reset list.  This also means that typing savearea, reset area, or
instazone will affect this area.

To save changes permenantly, type "aassign none" and foldarea.

&rWarning&w!! Do not have an area aassigned to yourself when getting personal
vnums assigned to you.  The personal vnums will overwrite the area file.

In order to assign a proto area to yourself, you must either have that
area bestowed to you by a Greater God or higher.

In order to assign a nonproto area to yourself, you must either have
that area bestowed to you by an Exalted+. Even if you have the area bestowed
only Lesser+ can aassign themselves nonproto areas.
~

101 ABIT QBIT BIT BITS SHOWABIT SHOWQBIT SETABIT SETQBIT MPASET MPQSET~
Syntax:
To create a new abit or qbit, use the setabit and setqbit commands:
setabit <number> <description>
setqbit <number> <description>
The range for numbers is from 0 to 32000, and is defined as MAX_xBITS
just above the struct in mud.h. To raise or lower it, change the #define
and recompile your mud.

To see what bits exist, use the showabit and showqbit commands.
showabit <number>   /* Show the abit at <number> */
showqbit <number>   /* Show the qbit at <number> */
showabit all        /* List all abits */
showqbit all        /* List all qbits */

To set abits or qbits on characters manually, or see which ones characters have
them, use the abit and qbit commands:
abit <victim> [number]
qbit <victim> [number]
Without an argument, they'll list the bits, with an argument, they'll toggle
the bits on or off.

Mob progs can use mpaset and mpqset to toggle bits on or off:
mpaset <victim> <number>
mpqset <victim> <number>
Mob progs can also use the hasabit and hasqbit ifchecks to check the
state of a bit on a character. Example:
if hasabit($n) == 3100
say Welcome back, $n.
else
say You're new around here, aren't you, $n?
mpaset $n 3100
endif
They can also check for a bit being turned off. Example:
if hasqbit($n) != 8546
say Haven't you completed your quest yet, $n?
else
say Congratulations, $n! You've completed the quest!
endif
~

1 ACCESSORIES~
Syntax: accessories <argument>

Arguments: list
          <# of accessory> show
          <# of accessory> buy

Accessories will buy miscilenious objects for your home, from a list.
To see that list type accessories list, and from there you can show or
buy any of the objects on the list.
~

2 'ACCURSED FLAIL'~
A speciality of a Darkknight, they cast out infernal tendrils of purely
black, negative energy, which crack, whip, snap, slash, and smash at
the hapless victim.  The more powerful a darkknight is, the more tendrils
and stronger the tendrils get.  This spell is very powerful dark magic,
and is reserved for only the most powerful of Darkknights.  Use wisely.
~

1 'ACETUM PRIMUS'~
'Acetum Primus,' is the third and most powerful of the known acid
disciplines at the Mage's disposal.  This incantation pulls forth the
strongest caustic agents in the casting Mage's neighboring planes,
and propels them in a tight cyclone-like blast towards the Mage's
chosen victim.  The cross-dimensional disturbance, the physical
violence, and the bonescouring potency of the conjured compound all
work together to effect an estimable estrapade.
~

1 'ACID BLAST' 'BURNING HANDS' 'COLOUR SPRAY' FIREBALL 'LIGHTNING BOLT'



These are all attack spells and should not be used against another player
unless both you and the other player are listed under 'who deadly' and are
within the legal pkill level range.

1) Syntax:  cast fireball         <victim>
2) Syntax:  cast 'acid blast'     <victim>
4) Syntax:  cast 'colour spray'   <victim>
5) Syntax:  cast 'shocking grasp' <victim>
6) Syntax:  cast 'burning hands'  <victim>
7) Syntax:  cast 'magic missile'  <victim>

Each of these spells inflict variable damage on the victim.  The higher the
caster's level, the more damage inflicted.  The spells are listed by their
inherent power from strongest to weakest, though differences in strength
are in many cases minimal.
~

0 'ACID BREATH' 'FIRE BREATH' 'FROST BREATH' 'GAS BREATH' 'LIGHTNING BREATH'~
Syntax: cast 'acid breath'      <victim>
Syntax: cast 'fire breath'      <victim>
Syntax: cast 'frost breath'     <victim>
Syntax: cast 'gas breath'
Syntax: cast 'lightning breath' <victim>

These spells are for the use of dragons.  Acid, fire, frost, and lightning
damage one victim, whereas gas damages every PC in the room.  Fire and
frost can break objects, and acid can damage armor.

High level mages may learn and cast these spells as well.

Be aware that area attacks are aggressive to all mobs in the room,
including pets, mounts and charmed creatures.
Gas breath is an area attack, the other breath spells are not.

106 ACTIONDESC~
This file is kinda incomplete, if you have more actiondesc's to post, please
tell someone.

Action Descriptions (actiondesc) are for edible items.  They make it look
more realistic if you use them correctly.
Action descriptions also work on drink containers.

To add one:

oset <item> actiondesc <your description>

An Example:

oset turkey actiondesc %s eat$q $p.

The known actiondesc's:

%s = person (If it is you, you see You)
$q = plural (If it is first person, it does not show.  If second, it shows S)
$p = item   (This displays the item that is edible)
~

1 ADRENALINE~
Syntax: adrenaline
Syntax: adren

Someone with this skill can control the flow of adrenline through
their veins, allowing them a brief rush of strength and speed,
but afterward they suffer from a period of weakness and exhaustion.
~

110 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.
~

103 ADVANCEDEXITS~
SMAUG supports having more than one exit in the same direction,
as well as the special direction 'somewhere', represented by a '?'.

If you already have an exit leading north, and would like another one,
use a plus sign '+' in front of the direction:
redit exit +n 3001          - Adds another exit north to room 3001

To modify an extra exit like this, or to remove it, you'll have to
refer to it by number:
redit exit #2 3002          - Change the second exit to go to room 3002

To know what number an exit is, do an "rstat".

For someone to be able to use the second north exit, you have to set one
of the extra flags (see EXFLAGS) like CAN_CLIMB.  It is also usually a good
idea to set the HIDDEN flag for any special exit so that it looks nicer
with autoexits on.

The AUTO flag makes it possible to go in a direction by simply typing the
keyword for that exit:
redit exit ? 3001           - Create a 'somewhere' exit to 3001
redit exflags ? auto hidden - Set the proper flags
redit exname ? swim         - Set the keyword "swim"
If a player types 'swim' in the room, they will move to room 3001.

-1 ADVENTURE~
.
   In our efforts to give credit to everyone who deserves it, we almost
   forgot to give credit to one of the "grandfathers" of computer adventure
   games... David Platt, the author of the original "Adventure" (c)1979.

   Also credit to Ken Wellsch for porting the original Fortran-77 version
   to UNIX-C (over a period of about 3 years) (c)1984.
~

0 AEX AXEXPORT AXIMPORT~
Syntax: axexport path/newfilename.aex
Syntax: aximport path/newfilename.aex
Syntax: aximport path/newfilename.aex newstartvnum

AEX expects a directory called exchange in the smaug or "dist" directory or
whatever directory your mudbase considers its home directory. It actually looks
for "../exchange" from the current directory your mud has changed directories
too when it runs.

AEX will only import and export from this directory, or a directory in
this directory. example: AXIMPORT dragonbane/darkhaven.aex
  In this case, the subdirectory is the name of mud other than yours.

The reason for creating different directories is because you can put all the
areas from that mud in its import subdirectory with a file called AXSUB.DAT
The AXSUB.DAT file allows you to substitute types, spells, wearlocations,
races, classes and a lot more. From what THAT mud has, to something YOUR
mud has. For now just edit the AXSUB.DAT file with a text editor. Its pretty
self explanatory, but just in case here is an example of one entry.
        #SPELLS
        'bolt of lightning' 'lightning bolt'
This would substitute the other mud's 'bolt of lightning' spell for your mud's
'lightning bolt' spell.

AXEXPORT requires you to be in the mud and your character located within the
area that you wish to export. AEX doesn't care what file name you export the
area to, but for the sake of convention you should end the file with ".aex"
instead of ".are". For example, if gallery.are starts at vnum 24800 then:
      goto 24800
      axexport gallery.aex

AXIMPORT has an optional 2nd argument which allows the starting vnum
of an area to change on the loading of the area. AXIMPORT can be run from
any room, your character's location does not affect it's usage. So typing
      aximport gallery.aex 30000
would load gallery.aex and the area's first roomvnum would start at 30000.

AXIMPORT creates a log file that has messages in it about flags, races,
classes , spells, etc. that it couldnt find on your mud. It also may have
warnings about exit words ("n s e north ", etc) being found in room descriptions
without corresponding exits. The log file will be created in the exchange
directory that the imported area was loaded from and will be called areaname.log
In the case of the gallery example above, the log file would be named
      gallery.aex.log

 ~

110 AEXIT AENTRANCE~
Typing AEXIT at anytime will show the rooms, in the area you are in, that are
connected to other areas.

Typing AENTRANCE at anytime will show rooms in other areas that connect to
the area you are presently in.
~

0 AFFECTED 'AFFECTED BY'~
Syntax:  affected       (abbrevation:  af)
Syntax:  affected by    (abbreviation: af by)

'Affected' is a spells-at-a-glance function, which displays only the spells
(and skill affects) your character is currently under.  Each affect will be
listed by name only for the sake of brevity (if you want to know what each
is doing, use help <spell/skill name> or 'score').

Characters level 20 or above and deadly characters will also see the number
of rounds remaining for each affect.  Affects with a remaining lifespan of
less than 25 rounds are displayed in white, and those in immediate danger
of wearing off will flash.

'Affected by' displays a character's affects separate from its spell/skill
affect list.  This is useful for ensuring that affects given from equipment
are actually functioning.  For example, if you are wearing a visor with
detect_invis but 'affected by' does not show you as having that affect, you
are not detecting invisibility.

'Affected by' also displays your current susceptibilities, resistances and
immunities if your character is level 20 or higher.

~

107 AFFECTEDBY AFFECTED_BY~
The following are affect flags that can be used when osetting an item
(with oset <item> affect affected <affect flag>).  These flags can also
be used when msetting a mobile (mset <mob name> affected <affect flag>).
They may additionally be used to mset players if your level allows it.

Blind          Invisible    Detect_evil  Detect_invis  Detect_magic
Detect_hidden  **Hold**     Sanctuary    Faerie_fire   Infrared
Curse          **Flaming**  Poison       Protect       Paralysis
Sneak          Hide         Sleep        Charm         Flying
Pass_door      Floating     Truesight    Detect_traps  Scrying
Fireshield     Shockshield  Iceshield    Aqua_breath   Possess
Haste          Slow

Note - Hold and Flaming are current not in use.

0 AFK AFW AWAY~
Syntax:  afk (abbreviation for "away from keyboard")
Syntax:  afw (abbreviation for "away from window")
Syntax: away (no abbreviation, it speaks for itself)

Syntax: afk/afw/away <message>

The 'afk' command will place an [AFK] flag beside your name on the who
list when activated, as well as informing those who send tells that you
you are afk.  It can be toggled on or off by typing afk, and will also
go off automatically when you enter any command.

This skill allows you to bring a stunned person back into consciousness.
~

1 ALERTNESS~
Syntax:  c alertness <self>

~

0 ALIAS UNALIAS~
Syntax: alias                        Displays this syntax.
        alias <name>                 Displays the specified alias.
        alias add <name> <command>   Adds an alias.
        alias edit <name> <command>  Changes an alias.
        alias remove <name>          Removes an alias.
        alias list                   Lists all aliases.

The ALIAS command allows you to set shortcuts for commands or long
strings of text.  These can be quite useful for shortening routinely
entered commands.

Example: alias add heal cast heal samson

This assigns the command 'cast heal samson' to the alias 'heal'
so that typing in 'heal' will issue the full command.

Alias has variables that can be used when the command requires an
argument which might change.

The variables are %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

For Instance, you want to make an alias for note read. You would type:

   alias nr note read %0

And use it by typing:  nr 2

You can now make an alias do multiple things by adding ; between
commands:

   alias test test;cough    This alias will use the test and cough
socials.

To remove an alias, type 'alias remove' followed by the shortcut
you wish to remove.

Typing ALIAS with no arguments will display a helpful syntax.  Your
aliases will save with your character upon leaving the game.  You
may have only 10 aliases, each with a maximum of 5 commands.  Aliases
can only override socials, not actual commands, just incase you want
to make an alias which uses a name of a social.

0 ALIGNMENT ALIGN ZAPPING~
Your alignment can range from +1000 to -1000. When you are +1000 this
means that you are good aligned, when you are -1000 this means you are
evil aligned, and when you are 0 aligned this means you are neutral.
You can change your alignment by killing good or evil aligned mobs.
This will raise or lower your alignment.

The different alignments will allow you to wear different pieces of
equipment. If you are good aligned and try to wear a piece of equipment
which is antigood, you will be zapped, which means the piece of eq will
fall to the ground. The same occurs when you are evil and you try to
wear an antievil piece of eq, or if you are neutral and try to wear
an antineutral piece of eq. You can also be zapped during battle if you
are fighting a mob opposite of your align.

You can find out what your alignment is by typing SCORE.

108 ALLOW BAN~
ALLOW BAN WARN
Syntax:  allow  site/race/class    <address/race/class>

warn. If you set it to a level everyone equal to that level and below will not
be allowed on.  Warn, sends a warning to the Warn: channel that someone if
logging in from the site, with a certaing class or race.  If you add the
duration, the ban will expire in that many days. Sites can be banned with the *
wildcard as well.  Be carefull however as *.edu would ban everysite from .edu,
or *foo* would ban anysite that had the string foo in it.
BAN show, will print out the reason why that particular site/race or class was
banned and by who.  Number can be a class or race name, a site address or
you can use # followed by the ban number.
WARN will toggle the warn flag on a CURRENTLY banned site/class or race.

ALLOW site/race/class  <address/race/class>  removes a site, class or race from

113 'ARCANE ORB'~
By calling upon Ancient Arcane Magic a Mage may summon forth a
glowing orb of Arcane energy thus providing him/her with light.
It is said that some of the greater Arcane Magic wielders are
capable of instilling magical properties into these orbs upon
creating them. It has yet to be proven though.
~

1 AREAS ALIST~
Syntax:  areas
Syntax:  areas old
Syntax:  areas <low range> <hi range>

The 'areas' command displays an alphabetically sorted list of all areas
within the game, together with the author and suggested level range of
each area.

The 'areas old' command displays an unsorted list of all areas (the old
style), as well as the author and suggested level range of each area.

You can specify a level range to see a list of all areas with suggested
ranges which encompass the argument.  This can be a little awkward as
each area has a low and a high suggested range.  Suffice to say that if
an area's level range matches even one level of the range you request,
it will be displayed.

Special thanks to Fireblade for design and coding of this restyled function.
The Realms of Despair will provide a copy of areas built by individuals
to that individual and no one else. To receive a copy of an area for use
on other muds, you must contact that individual.

~

2 ARENA~
ResortMUD features a player killing arena that sheds the pesky rules
usually involved with player killing. Immortals can start an arena
match with the arena command. The syntax is as follows:

arena start <entry fee> <min level> <max level>

Immortals can prematurely end betting, or an entire match with:

arena end

Players use the 'arena join' command to enter the arena once a match
has been started, and the 'arena wimpout' command to wimp out of an
arena match.

Betting is also available using the 'arena bet' command. The
syntax is:

arena bet <coins> <player>

0 ARIEL ARIELS~
Ariels are descendants of elves born with wings, giving them a beautiful,
angelic appearance.  They tend to be very gentle and charismatic, and
very wise.  Not as strong as true elves, ariels get along well with pixies,
sprites, and other creatures of faerie kind.  They find dealing with the
darker races such as goblins and troglodytes deaming to them, and shun them
whenever possible.

1 ARMOR SHIELD FORCEFIELD 'STONE SKIN' BARKSKIN~

Syntax: c shield <target>
Syntax: c forcefield <target>
Syntax: c stone
Syntax: c bark <target>

101 ARMORCLASS~
.
&gThere are two values used with armor class for object type Armor:

&GValue0: Variable amount based on level of item at repop.
Value1: Maximum repairable armor setting for the object.

&gSetting Value0 has no effect. It will re-adjust itself on repop based on
the repop level of the item. Setting Value1 below the expected repop value
for Value0 will result in an item that cannot be repaired until Value0 drops
below Value1's setting. The listing below gives you a rough approximation of
the values returned for Value0 based on level:

&GLevel Invoked   Value0   Level Invoked   Value0   Level Invoked   Value0
-------------   ------   -------------   ------   -------------   ------
      1           1-3         10           3-5         20           6-8
     30           8-10        40          11-13        50          13-15

&gThe amount that Value0 is set to determines the amount the player's A.C. will
be adjusted. Different wear locations have a different multiplying affect:

&G0 X Value0: Wield, Ears.
1 X Value0: Arms,  Finger, Neck, Feet, Hands, Shield, Waist, Wrist, Hold, Eyes.
2 X Value0: Head,  Legs,   About.
3 X Value0: Body.

1 ARTIFACT ARTIFACTS ARTI~
Throughout your travels, you may encounter amazing items out of legend
and story, far more powerful than your everyday equipment.  These items
are known as artifacts.  Artifacts are characterized by the following:

 &z&Y-&z&G They are unique. There should only be one of any given artifact in
   the game at a time.
 &z&Y-&z&G When you log off, you will automatically drop any artifacts
   that you may be carrying.
 &z&Y-&z&G An artifact will save over reboots where it is left.  However,
   this does not prevent a mob or player from finding it and taking it.
 &z&Y-&z&G Artifacts cannot be sold, auctioned, enchanted, or donated,
   and will not scrap during combat.
 &z&Y-&z&G Imms may not keep artifacts, so don't do it.&z&W

0 ASSASSIN ASSASSINS~
The most highly trained and well skilled of assassins is capable of
slipping unseen into places, usually without even alerting the guards of
his or her presence.  If detected, they can often escape without a trace
or dispatch the guards with their fighting skills.  They can slip a knife
into their victims back, or dose them with a deadly poison, for assassins
are masters of poisons and secrecy.  Unlike thieves, their primary
objective is killing rather than stealing, for many hire them to do their
dirty work, and such work tends to pay well.
~

100 ASSASSINATE~
Syntax:  assassinate <victim>

This skill will instantly kill the victim, if successful. You can only
assassinate someone you can sneek up on therefore, you can't assassinate
people who are mounted, fighting, or hurt.
~

59 ASTAT~
Syntax:  astat                      (area stats for the area you are in)

1 'ASTRAL WALK' 'FARSIGHT' 'TRANSPORT' 'PORTAL' 'HELICAL FLOW'~
Syntax:  cast 'astral walk'  <victim>  Syntax:  cast 'farsight'     <victim>
Syntax:  cast 'portal'       <victim>  Syntax:  cast 'transport'    <victim>
Syntax:  cast 'helical flow' <victim>

These spells allow the very shape of space and time to be warped at the
caster's bidding:

'Astral walk' instantaneously moves the caster to the victim's location.

'Farsight' allows you to see the room in which the victim stands.

'Transport' sends an object in the caster's inventory to the victim.

'Portal' forms a temporary tunnel through space to the victim.  A portal
will not succeed if a portal already exists in either the caster's or
the victim's location.  If you able to scry, you can look into a portal
with 'look portal' and 'enter portal' to go into it.

'Helical Flow' morphs an Augurer into a coil of colour which instantly
travels to the victim's location.

These spells may fail if either the victim or the caster is in a location
which blocks their use, such as no-recall areas, no-summon areas, etc.

~

102 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 player, 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).
~

100 ATOBJ ATMOB~

2 ATTACKER ATTACKERFLAG ATTACKERFLAGS~
&PAttacker &Wflags are automatically given by the mud code to players
who engage in illegal attacks upon other players. These attacks can
initiated by using MURDER, casting an attack spell, or ordering
followers to attack a player. Deadlies attacking Deadlies do not
receive Attacker Flags. These flags are only given out in situations
that involve Peaceful players, i.e. Deadlies attacking Peacefuls,
(or vice versa), or Peacefuls attacking Peacefuls. You will be
tagged with an &PAttacker &Wflag if:

  1. You attempt to MURDER another player, or they attempt to
  MURDER you. (See &CHelp Murder &Wand &GLaws Pkill &Wfor more info
  on attacking other players).

  2. You order charmed mobiles or pets to attack a player, or you
  are attacked by another players mobiles. (See &CHelp Charm &Wor
  &CHelp Pets &Wfor more info)>

  3. You are a &RDeadly &Wplayer and attacked a fellow Clanmember.

&WDarkhaven Guards, shopkeepers and special function mobs now respond
differently to illegal flags. You may find yourself barred from making
purchases, placed before Judge Kendra for a hearing, or sentenced to
jail. Should you acquire an &PAttacker &Wor any other illegal activity
flag, see Judge Kendra in Townhall. Her Honour is located one west of
the Main Lobby (See &CHelp Townhall &Wfor info).

This is the oldscore for SMAUG.  It reveals the basics in a less
graphical form of output.
~

1 AUC AUCTION~
.Syntax: auction (abbreviations: a , auc)
Syntax: auction <item name> <starting value>
Syntax: auction bid <value>

The auction command is used for performing auctions.  Simply typing auction
will display the current item being auctioned, if there is one.

If nothing is being auctioned, auction <item name> <starting value> will
begin an auction.  If no starting value is specified, it begins at 0 gold.

Auction bid <value> will place a bet for the item.

Special thanks to Erwin Andreasen for writing this function.
(Ported to SMAUG from a publicly available source.)

At the present, if the mud crashes in mid auction, you will lose both
your bidded money and the item.  This will at some point be fixed.

You are able to see auction almost from the point of character creation,
however, you cannot USE auction unless you're level FIVE or higher. To remove
the auction channel from your screen, type CHANNEL -AUCTION.
SEE also "help AUCTION2" for more on auction commands
&Y* Auctions will not be stopped for overbidding or misbidding*&w
~

1 AUCTION2~
Auction will also work with the following arguments:

au bid 20k      - bids 20000 coins
au bid 20k500   - bids 20500 coins (20,000 + 500)
au bid 20k5003  - bids 20500 coins, too (only checks first 3 chars after "k")
au bid 1m       - bids 1 million coins

On an existing bid of 10000:
au bid +10       - adds 10%, making the bet 11000.
au bid +         - adds 25% (the default if no number given), bet is 12500.
au bid x         - multiplies by 2, making the bet 20000.
au bid x5        - multiplies by 5, making the bet 50000.

It is illegal to auction <or barter, sell, trade> clan, order, or guild items.
Exception: Old clan equipment that was converted to be worn by both peaceful
           and deadly players.

Also see: 'HELP AUCTION' for more information.
~

0 AUGURER AUGURERS~
The Augurer is very strong-minded in its nature, both physically and
magically. It is very confident of its actions in combat, and this
confidence shows in its physical appearance.  The Augurer is of a
medium height, with a defined bone structure which shows both
intelligence and assurance.  Its appearance is wizened, but at times
the Augurer may look frail due to exhaustion.  Though it is of a
medium size, its physical strength is not.  The Augurer relies on
both brain and brawn to overcome its challengers.  When it is
confronted, its wisdom decides what course of action it should take,
and wisdom is its prime stat.

While in combat, the Augurer is capable of utilizing both spells and
skills to their greatest potential.  However, because of the Augurer's
size, it tires of magic easily.  To overcome this mental exhaustion,
the Augurer is a strong believer in the use of mana for rejuvination
of its magical powers, and uses a lot of it.  In its spare time, the
Augurer enjoys the local lore, both the teaching and learning of it,
as well as musical and theatrical pursuits.  The Augurer is a very
independent person, and spends much of its spare time in meditation,
reflecting upon the days activities.

~

100 AUTHORIZE~
Syntax: authorize <player> <yes|name|no/deny>

This command allows a player to be granted access to the game, but

101 AVATOR~
Syntax: Avator (level)

This command allows an Immortal to become mortal at any level
to test areas or so they can set themselves as deadly and pkill an
annoying mortal fairly, but be warned you can also be killed while
at a mortal level.

NOTE: Immortals can be punished for abusing this command and using
      immortal abilities to harm or kill a mortal.

To return to your original level, simply type: Avator (true level #).
~

50 AVHELP~
Syntax:  avhelp

For avatars of level 50 and over, this is just a taste of what you
get on your way to immortality.  When you hit level 100, there is
even more with the wizhelp command.

Also see HELP WIZHELP at level 100.
~

51 AVTALK~
Syntax: avtalk <message>

This allows you to use the avtalk (level 50+) channel.
~

2 AWAKEN~
At very high level, a Darkknight learns how to tap into their internal
source of death-magic.  It unlocks their inner potential, and releases
their bottled up anger inside.  Letting it flow and course through them,
the Darkknight becomes near-superhuman in stature, on a powerful, raging
adrenaline rush that increases their agility, strength, and endurance.
This is a very powerful skill, and unlocks great power within.

For example, a level 15 character trying to invoke a wand with level 50
fireball may injure themselves when the spell backfires.

~

0 BACKSTAB BS KILL MURDER MURDE~
Syntax: backstab <character>
Syntax: disarm
Syntax: kick
Syntax: kill     <character>
Syntax: murder   <character>

immortal to restore the file.
~

2 BALANCE WITHDRAW DEPOSIT TRANSFER BANK~
Syntax:  balance
Syntax:  deposit <amount>
Syntax:  withdraw <amount>
Syntax:  transfer <amount> <player>

The banking commands allow you to manage your funds more effeciently.
Funds deposited in banks are safe from thieves, and are saved even if
you die, so storing some cash in the bank is a wise precaution.

To DEPOSIT, simply find a bank, and deposit any amount of gold you wish.

To WITHDRAW, simply go to the bank and withdraw what you need.

To see how much you have, type BALANCE, it will show you how much you
have on hand, and how much is in the bank.

To TRANSFER money from your account to another player, the other
player must also be online. Simply transfer however much you want to
that player, provided you have it available in your account.

Code for banks courtesy of Minas Ravenblood of The Apocalypse Theatre.
~

2 'BALL LIGHTNING'~
A very powerful druid spell, this elemental magic, when performed
correctly, blasts an enormous, intense orb of electricity, much like
a lightning bolt compacted into a sphere, aimed at a hapless victim.
There is not much one can do to withstand this incredible attack.
~

101 BALZHUR VAPORIZE~

58 BARENUM BARESIZE~
Syntax: mset <mob> barenum <number>
mset <mob> baresize <num>

These mob fields control the mobs ability to fight without weapons.
Barenum is the low end of the damage done and baresize is the multiplier.
For example: barenum 10 and baresize 5 would have the effect of allowing
the mob to hit barehanded for 10-50 damage.

* This field also affects experience gained.
Experience is calculated as follows:
^level 3*5 + max_hit +barenum *baresize +damroll * 50
+hitroll *ch -> level *10
~

0 BASH~
Syntax:  bash

Bash can only be used once a fight has started.  It will inflict damage and
temporarily daze both yourself and your opponent for approximately two rounds
during which you cannot heal, flee or perform other extraneous combat actions
(i.e. you will be able to dodge/parry/attack but nothing else).  These same
consequences are inflicted on your opponent if it is a player character,
otherwise the skill only inflicts damage.

Note that bash has a drastically reduced chance of hitting if the basher is
not one of the primary combatants (i.e. is not tanking).
~

1 'BASIC SHIELD'~
Syntax: c basic <target>

This spell protects the target from chemical attacks.
~

0 BATTLEMAGE BATTLEMAGES~
The Battlemage is not really a mage, but in fact a Warrior who has minimal
training in the magical arts. They have a variety of spells and skills
which help them survive in many situations, and are often able to get out
of a bad situation. Their magical abilities aren't great, but the spells
they do have are rather useful.
~

1 BEAR BEARHUG~
Syntax: BEARHUG, BEARHUG <victim>

This skill starts a fight with a new opponent by delivering a bone-crunching
bearhug.
~

1 BEEP~
Syntax: beep <person>
        beep <person> <message>

Beep is a basic alarm which pings another player who has a speaker
which can pick up the signal.  You can simply just beep them or
send a message when you beep them.  If they are away, you will get

1 'CHARGED BEACON'~
Syntax:  c 'charged beacon' <victim>

Charged beacon renders the victim susceptible to electricity attacks.
~

1 CHARISMA CHA~
Charisma (CHA in your 'score') represents your characters physical beauty
and charm.  It primarily affects:

 - a character's practice rate with a language scholar

 - prices charged to a character by shopkeepers

No class receives charisma as a prime attribute.
~

1 'CHARM' 'CHARM PERSON'~
The charm spell, if successful, will place the victim (only mobs, attempts
to charm other player-characters may incur the wrath of the gods) under
your control for the duration of the spell.  While under your control
the creature is your servant, and may assist you in combat and other
more minor duties.  Use the 'order' command to give them orders.

Be warned, you are responsible for the actions of your charmed beast.  If
it should go awry and take the life of another player-character, you will
be charged as a murderer and will be hunted by several creatures around
the Realms.

Aggressive mobs will lose their aggressiveness while charmed, but will
immediately return to their violent ways when the spell wears off.  For
this reason, charmed aggressive mobs should not be taken into any area
lower from the one from which they came, and should *never* be taken
into Darkhaven or the Academy.  Those found doing so will pay dearly.

As a matter of etiquette, charmed mobs should not be attacked.  You can
tell a mob is charmed if it is wandering "in a dazed, zombie-like state."
Be aware when taking your charmed mobs around other characters that any
area attack such as call lightning, gas breath or earthquake will hit
your creature and cause it to engage in combat.

-1 CHEATING~
.
&GCheating is a very serious offense and subjects _all_ characters involved
to a slay, purge (loss of all equipment), freeze, balzhur (destruction of
all equipment and public demotion to level 2), deny or even a site ban.

What is considered cheating?
 - exploiting (intentionally using) a bug to gain equipment or gold
 - intentionally causing the system to crash
 - intentionally duplicating equipment or gold
 - knowingly accepting illegal equipment (see above) from others
 - attempting to duplicate equipment or gold -- * even if not successful *
 - using or making profit from equipment that was accidentally duplicated
 - using gold that was accidentally duplicated

Cheating hurts the game, and every player in the game.  Protect yourself
and report any bugs you find, and inform the Immortals if you have strong
cause to believe someone is engaged in any of the above.

If you find you have accidentally duplicated an item, turn the item over
_immediately_ to an Immortal.

100 CHECKLINKS~

101 CHECKVNUMS~
Syntax:  checkvnums <argument> <begin vnum range> <end vnum range>

Arguments - room, mob, object

Examples:
checkvnums room 9000 9099
checkvnums object 9000 9099
checkvnums mob 9000 9099

If no vnum within the specified range is either assigned as part of
someone's prototype area, and no vnum within the specified range is
a part of a live (non-prototype) area, there will be no result from
this command and the vnums are safe to assign.  If any vnum in the
specified range is already allocated, the area file to which it is
allocated will be displayed.

~

10 CLAIM~

IDENTIFY to gauge the difficulty of the opponent.  You can LOOK <mob>
to get a look at its equipment and description, this will often help
indicate how hard a fight might be. You can CONSIDER <mob> for a one
on one comparison of the mobs hitpoints and level to your own.  You may
also CAST IDENTIFY <mob> to get more detailed information about the mob.

You may start a fight by using KILL, MURDER, or many spells and skills
available to players.  The easiest way to start a fight is to KILL <mob>.
Currently, you may also MURDER <mob>, but this causes the mob to yell out.

You may find yourself in trouble during a fight, and wish to leave, this
can be done by using FLEE or RECALL.  You can flee a fight by typing FLEE.
You may recall from a fight with the spell 'word of recall' or by reciting
a recall scroll.  You may also set it up to flee automatically once you go
below a certain number of hitpoints by using WIMPY.  To use your wimpy, type
WIMPY or WIMPY <number of hitpoints>.  Leaving a fight with wimpy, flee, and
recall WILL cost you a loss of experience, with recall causing the greatest
loss.

1 'COVER OF DARKNESS'~
Syntax: c cover

This spell is used by darker spellcasters to bring a protective cover of
darkness upon them, cutting all damage given to them in half.  However,

not work if the caster is carrying a light of any sort.
~

1 'CR' 'CORPSE RETRIEVAL' 'CORPSE'~
Before asking an immortal for a corpse retrieval, you &r-must-:&w

&r    -&w Attempt to get your corpse yourself, &rand
    -&w Use invis and hidden, this will get you past a lot of mobiles,&r and
    -&w Seek mortal assistance to retrieve your corpse.&r
    -&g If all else fails, wait at least 20 minutes after death to ask for an
      Immortal corpse retrieval.&w

**  "I need to leave now!" is not grounds for an early Immortal CR.
**  Corpses last approximately 40 - 60 minutes after the time of death.
**  Corpse decay will happen even while you are linkdead or after you quit.
**  Characters listed under 'who deadly' are not eligible for Immortal CR.
**  Corpses _will_ save over crashes and reboots, but will continue to decay
    once the Realms comes back online.  Log back on quickly to get corpse.

The cost for CRs is usually one item from your corpse.  An Immortal may
choose to charge MORE or LESS.

&gAn Immortal corpse retrieval is not a right, but a privilege.&w  Pestering
or being demanding is cause for the Immortal to deny your request.  An
Immortal may refuse to do any CR at their discretion.  You may not barter
which items an Immortal can take from your corpse as the charge, the
Immortal's decision is final.
~

1 CRASH~
Crashes are unforeseen interruptions in the game that cause everyone
to be disconnected. If you type time and look at the system start up
time, you can determine if the game has just rebooted or if it was a
problem with only your character.
   99.9% of the time corpses will save over a crash. The game will
start back up with your character at the last place you saved or the
game saved you.

2 'DARK ARMOR'~

an AC bonus, but also yields protection as well, making it very useful.
~

2 'DARK VISION'~
The spell dark vision awakens the Darkknights inherent deathly powers,
yielding superior vision to that of any mere mortal.  They can see any
hidden, invisible, or somehow otherly hidden things as if they are in

~

2 DARKRAGE~

A skill available to darkknights in which they use their dark powers
in order to enhance their vision.  This skill will enable the Darkknight
to see things that are invisible, as well as to discern things that are
magic.


See also:   help darkvision
~

1 DARKVISION~
Darkknights have what is called Darkvision.  It is not a skill perse that
one would find on the skill list, but rather, every Darkknight's eyesight
is enhanced by their malicious, hate-filled powers from beyond the infernal
realms.  As such they always 'see red', as the expression goes, they live
in a hate-filled lust for blood, and the powers they inherit from this
enhances their sight.  As such, a Darkknights sight performs much like
a Bird of Prey, where they can zoom in from very far distances, they can
see clearly for miles, and they can spot and lock in on targets with
extreme precision.  Also they are able, when they close their eyes, to
'project' their vision elsewhere, using the spell Target Eye, to literally
hone in on a target from almost anywhere else in the realm.  Also they are
able to rapidly view the world, scanning from target to target with instant
analyzation.  This, combined with the rapid ability to zoom long distances,
and with everything being an anger-induced shade of red, a Darkknights vision
is something to be marvelled.
~

0 DEATH~
When your character dies, you are reincarnated at the Altar to Thoric in
Darkhaven (or your clan's temple).  Your corpse is left behind where you
were killed, together with all of your equipment.  Your gold stays with
you (the gods want you to have your gold).

Any spells which were affecting you are canceled by death, and you lose
experience points as well.  Following/groups are not affected by death.

Corpses decay after time. When this happens the items inside a corpse
are left on the ground for any player or mob to come along and take them.
Player corpses will last approximately 30 minutes real time before decaying.
Only the player who died or someone in their group can retrieve objects
from a player's corpse.  The only exceptions are for deadly characters,
who can loot each other's corpses at will.

If you have chosen a deity and have gained enough favor, you may be able
to supplicate to your god for your corpse.  Also see 'help supplicate',
'help deities', 'help favor' for more information on deities.

~

1 DEATHTRAP DT~
A "death trap" refers to the scenario where one steps into a room and is
immediately awakened from death with no equipment or corpse. A corpse
recovery is not an option in this case as there is no corpse to retrieve.

There are also pseudo death traps that may appear to be a dt, but leave a
corpse or transfer a corpse to another area. This is not a true dt.

It is often advisable to look before one leaps and heed room descriptions.
DT's do not warrant a reimbursement, they are a part of the game. Gold,
glory and favor are not affected by a death trap.

and immortality.  Not every deity was once mortal, very few were born gods.
Deities are created/maintained by Vanir, with some additions from Joe.

The area after the clan's name is reserved for a deity.  Deities for clans
are usually picked by the clan leader at the time as a means of worship.

An Immortal can request you change your description or bio if it contains
inappropriate material.  Do not use profanity, racial slurs, sexual comments,
other players names (without their permission), or off-color remarks.  Refusal
to change your bio, description, or title on Immortal request is grounds for
loss of character privileges.

1 DEXTERITY DEX~
Dexterity (DEX in your 'score') represents your character's agility, and
it affects (among other things):

 - the maximum number of items you can carry at once in your inventory;
   with each additional point of dex you can carry additional items.

 - each additional point of dexterity also lowers (improves) your natural
   armor class.

 - the number of new moves you receive each time you level, as well as the
   number of moves you regenerate at each tick (when resting to refresh or
   regain movement points).

 - success chances with bash and stun, and helps determine whether a thief
   will be able to poison a weapon.

Dexterity is also very important for quaffing potions in combat.  High dex
will allow you to quaff without dropping many potions during the heat of
battle, while a poor dexterity will cause you to accidentally drop many
of the valuable vials.

Dexterity is the prime attribute of thieves and vampires.

had to be coded in.  (At least to make it nice).  This dice formula code
supports full BEDMAS expressions ( ) ^^ / * + -, plus extra mud related
operators and variables:

D dice         L level          H hit points      M mana
V movement     S strength       I intelligence    W wisdom

attempt to dig open an exit.

To bury an item (or corpse), drop the item on the ground and bury <item>.
Depending on the size and weight of the object, you might need a shovel.

* Note:  Deadly players can bury/dig up each other's corpses. *

          Sebastian Hammer               [Quinn] (quinn@freja.diku.dk)

                     Additional contributions from:

 Michael Curran  - the player title collection and additional locations.
 Bill Wisner     - for being the first to successfully port the game,
                   uncovering several old bugs, uh, inconsistencies,
                   in the process.

         And: Mads Haar and Stephan Dahl for additional locations.

  The Original DIKUMud was Developed at the Department of Computer Science
                     at the University of Copenhagen.

Disarm is an auxiliary fighting command to attempt to disarm your opponent.
Several things affect your ability to disarm or resist a disarm attempt
successfully, including your weapon and your stats compared to the weapon

of the first.

~

1 DISCERN~
Syntax: discern

This skill enables you to focus your senses in order to pick out
those who are hidden in your surroundings.

1 DISCLAIMER~
By continuing to play this MUD you are acknowledging that:
(1)  you are willing to abide by the decisions of the Immortals concerning
all issues involved in the game, and
(2)  conversation and situations may arise during the course of play that
     may not be suitable for young children.

Administrators from any and all liability that may arise during gameplay.

0 'DISPEL EVIL'~

not specify a target, the spell's effect will strike you instead of a
secondary target.
~

0 'DISPEL MAGIC'~
Syntax:  cast 'dispel magic' <character>

This spell dispels magical affects on the victim.  It may be used as an
offensive spell to remove an enemy's magical advantages, or as a benign
spell to completely remove your own magical affects.

If you are not a mage, you must be affected by the 'detect magic' to be
able to use this spell.  Though mages do not necessarily need to use it,
being under the affects of 'detect magic' will reveal more information
unavailable otherwise or to other classes.

'Dispel magic' can be used by players and mobiles alike against either
players or mobiles.  It cannot remove affects from equipment, your race
or your deity; some other affects are immune to this spell as well.

When a caster successfully casts 'dispel magic' on themself they will
remove all of their dispellable magical affects.  If a mage successfully
dispels a victim, the number of affects stripped will depend on their
success and intelligence.  Otherwise a successful cast of 'dispel magic'
on a victim will result in the removal of a single affect each time
(victims will notice when and what affects are stripped).

WARNING:  this is an offensive spell, and its use on anyone other than
yourself will be treated as an attack on your target.

~

1 DISRUPTION~
With the spell 'Disruption,' the casting Mage causes his opponent to
be enveloped in a weird energy field that momentarily alters the plane
which the victim inhabits.  The spell was an early attempt by the Dark

Instead of teleporting it causes a horrendous nerve-wracking pain as
the victim exits and reenters his current plane of existence.

- Example:  Donate Portal
  If you have 2 portals in your inventory, it will donate the one you
  received most recently.
~

101 DONATE2~
Here is some things for you all to know about the donation room in
21193:

This room is for mortals who need some help in equipment or consumption.
This area is NOT for placing the newest powerful weapon in, and not
for helping mortals to cheat the MUD.

After all of those unpleasantries aside, here is some directions:

To get items, you OINVOKE a certain way, or the items will not work.

oin <name/number> 0

IE:  oin bread 0

This will OINVOKE a loaf of bread at level 0.  Suitable for everyone.

Either you can donate the object, or you can just drop them in room 1245.

Here is an example:

oin bread 0
donate bread

Do not put more of five (5) of the same item in donations at the
same time.  It will make the room less cluttered and keep it even.

0 'DRAGON WIT' DRAGONWIT~
This spell increases your ability to reason for its duration.
~

2 DRAGONBLOOD~
Ages ago, elf and dragon united, and formed a union which was stronger than
both. They live in the form of dragon or elf or dwarf, but all share one thing
in common, the blood of the dragons flows through their veins.  Obtained in
different ways, the Children of the Dragon's Blood have again united
upon this world to fight for dominance.
If you join the clan Dragonblood, you must already be deadly or will become
deadly upon induction.  If you wish to join, talk to a current leader,

powerful.
~

1 'DREAM'~
Syntax:  cast 'dream' <player>  <message>

This spell enables you to cast a dream or message on a sleeping player.
~

-1 DROW DROWELVES~
Drow are the darker, more evil cousins of Elves.  They were once part of
the happy community of Elves which roam the forests today, but have long
since moved under the ground, building vast subterranean cities and
complex networks of caves.

Drow have black skin and white hair, and are moderately weaker and have
a more slight constitution than average humans.  Still, like all Elves,
they have a slightly higher dexterity than men.

Members of this race specialize in spell casting, and have thus developed
a very high intelligence.  Being creatures of darkness the Drow tend to
fight more proficiently in the darkness, and have innate infravision with
which to discern objects and living things in the absence of light.

Drow gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.08
~

1 DROWFIRE~
Syntax: drowfire <victim>

This skill is unique to drow.  With it, the drow may call a misty pink
fire upon its victim, much like faerie fire, which makes the victim
easier to hit as well as preventing him from recalling while affected
by drowfire.
~

0 DRUID DRUIDS~
The druid is a lover and protector of the natural land.  Be it the forests
full of centaurs and deer, the streams full of fish, or the bug-infested
swamps, a druid always strives to protect and preserve nature.  Wielding
mighty spells from the gods themselves, druids strive hard at their work.

Strong in wisdom, with a body trained to near perfection by their rugged
lifestyle, a druid has many disciplines upon which to draw.  From powerful
spells of healing which can bring the near dead back to full vigor, to the
ability to mystically create water and food, to the awesome power of nature
which they command in battle via spells able to quake the land and split
the sky, druids demonstrate that mastery of magic is not just a hobby, but
a way of life for them.  Able to face many warriors on almost even footing,
and able to shield themselves nearly as well as some mages, druids are
truly a gifted class.

Prime Attribute: wisdom
~

1 DUAL WIELD~
This skill allows you to wield two weapons simultaneously.  The
benefits can mean additional attacks per round and more damage
overall.  Once you practice this skill, you can wield two weapons.

Syntax: dust <person>

This skill is unique to pixies.  It allows them to sprinkle pixie dust upon
a person, causing them to be able to fly for a time.
~

0 DWARF DWARVES DWARFS~
Dwarves are relatively short (in Human terms), stocky and powerfully-built
creatures.  Long-lived and extremely sturdy, they are known equally as well
for their hardiness as for their cantankerous personalities.  Their thick,
stout frames lend them poor dexterity, but high strength and stamina.  This
race has produced some of the most reknowned fighters.  Dwarves possess the
inherent ability to see in the dark with infravision.

Dwarves average from four foot five inches and five feet tall, with dusky
complexions and thick, fur-covered torsos and limbs.  Both men and women
proudly wear and take pride in their beards.

Dwarves gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 0.97.
~

1 E~
.              GROUPING WITH OTHER PLAYERS
              -----------------------------
If you are within 5 levels of another character, you have the ability
to group with that player.  You are not able to group a non-deadly
and a deadly character however (see HELP DEADLY). When you are grouped
with another player, you attack mobs together and share the experience
for each kill.

Group Commands:

  *FOLLOW <player> - you will follow that player at which point they group you
                   - to remove yourself from group type: FOLLOW <your name>

  *GROUP <player> - you add that player to your group
                  - typing GROUP alone will list the people in your group
                  - to remove someone from group type: GROUP <player name>

  *GTELL <message> - you tell the group a message

  *SPLIT <amount> - splits the gold among the group

~

0 EAT DRINK~
Syntax:  drink <object>                  (drink liquid from a drink container)
Syntax:  eat   <object>                  (eat food or a magical pill)
         eat   <object> <container>      (eat directly from a container)

Drink instructs your character to drink from a fountain or a drink container
to alleviate thirst.

Eat instructs your character to eat an item of food or a magical pill (which
function in a similar fashion as potions); pills do not fill stomach space.

When you are hungry or thirsty (you will see messages at each tick that
tell you if you are starving or dying of thirst, and can check your
current state with either 'score' or 'oldscore'), you will not regain
hitpoints, movement points or mana back as rapidly as if you were well
fed and hydrated.

If you stay hungry or thirsty too long and you are not an Avatar, your
mental state will begin to suffer.  Your combat skills will be affected,
your coordination will suffer and you may begin to either hallucinate or
become depressed.  Eating, drinking and a little rest will solve this
problem after a short period of time.

See MENTALSTATES
~

1 EATING DRINKING HUNGER THIRST~
Eating and drinking are very important...

If you let yourself starve or dehydrate, your mental state will be affected,
and you may have problems performing even the simplest of tasks.

Typing 'score' will give you an indication of your current mental state.
('oldscore' will also show this information)

Sitting, resting and sleeping will increasingly contribute to better your
mental state (if done while not starving/dehydrating).

Being hurt badly in battle ("That really did HURT", and "You wish that your
wounds would stop BLEEDING so much!") as well as poisoning will also have a
rapid negative affect on your mental state.

~

101 ECHO RECHO~
Syntax:  echo      <color> <message>
         echo  imm <color> <message>
         echo  pc  <color> <message>
Syntax:  recho     <color> <message>

ECHO sends a message to all players in the game, without any prefix indicating
who sent it.  If 'echo imm <message>' is used, only level 51+ characters will
see the message. If 'echo pc <message>' is used, only player characters will
see the message. Echos should always adhere to the guidelines laid out in the
Realm of Order (vnum 1214).

ECHO done in color should avoid the use of red and dark red unless it is a
Urgent message containing important information related to the game.

RECHO sends a message to all players in your room, without any prefix
indicating who sent it.

See also : COLOR 'IMM ECHO'
~

101 ECONOMY~
Each area will initialize (on bootup of the mud) with a pool of gold based
on the area's range and the wealth of each mob in that area.

The shopkeepers and thieves will automatically deposit gold into the economy
if they are carrying more than a certain amount (the higher the level of the
shopkeeper, the greater they will carry before depositing).

To allow mobprogs to be created to manipulate area economies, making them
interactive and interdependent, there are two mpcommands:  mpdeposit, and
mpwithdraw (see related helpfiles).  There is also an 'if economy' ifcheck.

The aset command can also be used to adjust an area's economy by hand
(example:  aset <area filename> low_economy <amount>, this will give
the specified area a minimum economy at the level you set).

Mobs will not repop with more gold than what they were originally created
with, but if the area economy runs low they will begin to repop with less
until the economy is replenished (as they all share the same gold pool).

Use foldarea to make changes to an area's economy with aset permenent.

See ASET, FOLDAREA
~

1 EDITOR~
The SMAUG Editor is used when you're writing mail, notes, your bio,
description or other long bodies of text. The commands in the editor are

Omit the space when using the commands in your notes):

/ ?              Displays editor help.
/ l              Lists the current contents of the note.
/ c              Clears the current contents of the note.
/ d [line]       Delete line. If no line number is given, the most
                  recent line is deleted.
/ g <line>       Goto line. This is useful for inserting lines,
                  deleting and fixing lines, etc.
/ i <line>       Insert line. Inserts a new blank line where specified.
/ r <old> <new>  Global replace. '/g' to the line you want to start
                  replacing at first, or no occurences will be found.
/ f              Formats the text using word wrap. '/g' to the line where
                 where you want to start.
/ a              Abort editing. No changes you made are kept.
/ ! <command>    Execute mud command. '/! smile' sends the smile
                  command, without exiting the editor.

and heads.  This is an incredible spell, and is known for its lasting
effects on survivors, life long disabilities that never fade.

~

0 ELF ELVES~
Tall, slender creatures with an affinity for the woods and nature, Elves
are distant cousins to the Pixies and share the intelligence and dexterity
of that winged race to a lesser degree.  With a lighter frame than Humans,
what they lack in strength and stamina is made up for with their superior
agility - both in thought and movement.  Elves are capable in all classes,
though they function poorest in the role of pure fighter.  Most Elves will
prefer to stay close to nature, and many become druids.  All Elves have
the inherent ability to detect magic.

The average Elf stands taller than most Humans, being well over six feet.
Most have fair skin and long, straight hair, though there are individual
Elves who chose a darker life reflected in their outward appearance.

Elves gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.1.

~

1 EMPOWER~
Syntax: cast 'empower'

This spell is the evil equivalent of vitalize. It will regenerate the
caster's mana at great cost to movement. The main difference between
vitalize and empower is: In order for empower to work you need an unholy

101 EXITMAKING~
The 'redit exit' command is used to create, modify and remove exits in a room.
Currently there can only be one exit in a certain direction.
The syntax of the 'redit exit' command is as follows:
redit exit <direction> [vnum] [exit-type] [key] [keyword(s)]
direction: one of: n, s, e, w, u, d, ne, nw, se, sw or ?
vnum     : the room number in which the exit leads to.
exit-type: a number detailing the exit -- has a door, open/closed/locked etc.
key      : a number corresponding to a key object which can unlock the door.
keywords : keywords used to refer to the door, (or exit).

If only 'redit exit <direction>' is specified, the exit will be removed.
The 'key' field is optional when specifying keywords.  All other fields are
required previous to the field desired.

Examples:
redit exit n 3001           - Creates an exit north to room 3001
redit exit n 3001 3 gate    - Changes the exit north to have a closed "gate"
redit exit n 3001 3 15 gate - Changes the gate to allow use of a key vnum 15
redit exit n                - Removes the north exit

See EXITTYPES for generating the exit-type value.
~

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).
~

101 EXITTYPES~
These are the currently valid exit-types:
      0 - Plain exit
      1 - Door exists         (Required to be closed or locked)
      2 - Door is Closed
      4 - Door is Locked
      8 - Door is Secret      (Trying to go that way won't reveal door)
     32 - Door is Pickproof   (Door can't be picked by spell or skill)
     64 - Need to be able to fly to go that way
    128 - Need to be able to climb to go that way
   1024 - Door is Passdoor proof

NOTE: You must ADD the values together to generate an exit-type:
        3 = a closed door
        7 = a closed and locked door
       11 = a closed secret door
       15 = a closed, locked and secret door

-- Use the 'redit exflags' command to change these flags, and to set the
   advanced exit flags, most of which are not shown above.

See EXFLAGS and EXITMAKING.
~

1 EXPURGATION~
Syntax:  c expurgation

~

0 'EXTRADIMENSIONAL PORTAL' 'EXTRADIMENSIONAL'~
The Great Wizard Thanatos, after creating his fabled WarMagicks,
found himself snubbed and abused in and about The Realms for his
researches.  Much time would pass before mages and other classes
alike would learn the true power of these spells.

In the interim, disguised as an assassin, Thanatos became interested
in a more minor problem: that of carrying off the loot he gained
from all those he slew with Quantum Spike.  Realising that such a
formula would be easily grasped by his class, he thought to extend
it freely.

As a final touch to the spell, he thought he would spite those of
other classes by inbuing into these containers a quality which made
them unobtainable by the other classes.

                               FTP for ResortMUD

     If you haven't noticed, Kilokahn's World O' Wonder is not accepting any
more FTP's from ResortMUD.  This is because KKWOW's space was full of cluttered
junk from his page.  If you need a FTP to send files to, UCMM's page has a new
sub-directory called "uploads".  If you wish to UPLOAD areas, zones, and
anything related to ResortMUD this is the place.

A few rules to follow:

NO PORN ON THAT FTP
NO WAREZ's
NO other files UNRELATED to UCMM or ResortMUD without permission by Ntanel
TELL Ntanel that the file is on UCMM

     Now since we have those rules done with, you can use ANY FTP utility that
will work on GeoCities (since it is a GeoCities site).  Send the RELATED files
to:

ftp://ftp.geocities.com
LOGIN:  resortmud
PASSWORD:  rmadmin

     When you are at the UCMM FTP area, click on the FILES subdirectory.  Then
you will see a subdirectory called UPLOADS, click that.  Place the files in
here.  Make sure they are related to UCMM and ResortMUD only!

NOTE:  GeoCities can only accept ZIP files, so please ZIP everything.

     If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.  There shouldn't be any
problems with the FTP transfers (besides lag).  You can E-Mail me, my name
is on HELP IEMAIL.  Happy FTP'ing.

101 FURNITURE~
To make a piece of furniture, ocreate an object.  OSET the object's short and
long description (If you need help in this area:  HELP OCREATE, HELP OSET).

To make the item a usable piece of furniture, set the 'item type' FURNITURE.
Then after doing that, you have to set the values.  The values are listed:

Value0 is the number of players that may use the furniture at one time.

Value1 doesn't matter, it's used by the code not the builder.  Don't set it.

Value2 is a flag stating what the furniture may be used for.  Currently the
choices are:

       stand_on stand_at stand_in rest_on rest_at rest_in
       sleep_on sleep_at sleep_in sit_on  sit_at  sit_in

I want to make an office chair.  An example would be:

ocreate 50522 chair
oset chair short an office chair
oset chair long An office chair is here, ready to be sat on.
oset chair type furniture
oset chair value0 1
oset chair value2 sit_on
(You can use more than 1 use in that chair.  You just have to set each use.)
oset chair value2 rest_in
oset chair value2 sleep_in
(A player can now 'sleep in, rest in and sit on' the chair.)  or you can:
oset chair value2 sit_on rest_on sleep_on (Multiple values work too)

The chair is ready to be used, when you are finished with your area for the
day make sure to save your progress.

Ostat shows the furniture flags using english words.

You must type <ACTION> <FURNITURE> to use the furniture.  You can also use a
preposition between the ACTION and FURNITURE.  Such as 'on, at or in'.
Optional use:  <ACTION> <PREPOSITION> <FURNITURE>
You must stand to get 'off, out and away' from the object.

Any affects that the furniture has, will be temporarily be given to the
person using it. So if you sit in an invisible chair, you become invisible.

If the player is sleeping on something, they get +5 added to whatever their
normal regeneration (HP, MOVE and MANA) is.  They get +2 if they are resting
on something.

1 'GALVANIC WHIP'~
The spell 'Galvanic Whip' allows the casting Mage to form in the air
a highly charged rope of air that automatically lashes out at his
opponents in combat.  The Whip may be called once per combat round.

~

0 GARGOYLE GARGOYLES~
Gargoyles were originally sculpted of stone to guard a variety of medieval
cathedrals, but at night strong magicks worked on the gargoyles, letting
them take to the skies as if they had always been truly living beings.
But they always had to return to their perch and return to stone again at
dawn, until the gargoyles found a great sorceror who enspelled their race
and allowed them to fly in broad daylight.  Gargoyles are alive, yet not
entirely, having some remnant left of their stoney origins.
~

1 GATE~
Syntax: cast gate

This spell gates in a guardian vampire.  Player characters don't have much use
for it, but high demons, and guardian vampires themselves, like it a lot.
~

2 GBOARD GBOARDS GNOTE~
Syntax:  gboard <board #>

0 GITH GITHYANKI GITHZERAI~
The Gith are a race descended from humans.  Once long ago, they were a
peaceful civilization of humans that were captured by mind flayers and
tormented for centuries.  Eventually, a savior named Gith led them to
freedom, yet their bodies had been flayed by the mental powers of the
illithids.  The Gith found themselves, stronger, quicker, luckier and
smarter than average humans, yet they had lost much of their faith,
wisdom, stamina and charisma.

They had yellowed skin and were very long of limb.  Sunken eyes peered
from yellowed sockets, now strangely capable of naturally detecting
invisible things.  The Gith race has split into three distinct groups
recently.  The good, the Githzerai, the selfish neutral, the Pirates
of Gith, and the evil, the Githyanki.

Gith gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.06.

1 GLANCE~
syntax:  glance
syntax:  glance <victim>

Glance alone shows you only the contents of the room you are in,
eliminating the description.  Glance <victim> shows only the health
condition, eliminating their description and equipment from your
screen.

Glance may be abbreviated as 'gl'.
~

2 GLOOMSICKLE~
Exclusive to Darkknights, they fling out their arm and emit a VERY intense
energy arc.  It rips like a scythe through physical material that isnt
strong enough to withstand it.  As a Darkknight grows in prowess and in
years, their gloomsickles become very strong, ripping through denser
and denser material with ease, until eventually, everything from the
densest stone to thin air gets sliced through by this energy sickle.  It
is rumored that there are some whose are so strong, that solid matter, the
picture of reality itself, can be torn asunder by their superworldly intense
electromagnetic sickles.  This can be very devastating, if it were true it
would create a vacuum void, a tear into the abyss, which could cause an
unknown number of paradoxes, and possibly many negative chain reactions.
Those with this much power must be exercising it wisely, for we are all
still here to tell the tale...
~

0 GLORY~
Glory is a measure of how valiant you are, and is accumulated by taking part
in quests (mostly) and possibly in a few other ways in the near to distant
future.  It appears on your score screen as:

                    Glory: 264(430)

  The number in parentheses is the total lifetime glory attained by your
character, and the other number is your current glory.  Glory can be "spent"
to improve your items and weapons (among possible other things in the future)
as according to the scale detailed in HELP GLORY RATES.

   Unlike Quest Points of old, Glory will not only go to the "winner" of the
quest, but will be awarded on a basis of participation.  For example, the big
prize might not only go to the person who killed the monster,  but also to
the person who solved the riddle first, etc.  Players who took part in the
quest and helped a notable amount will also recieve lesser amounts of Glory.

   Glory cannot be traded or transferred between characters.  This would be
like Odysseus passing all the reknown for his deeds off onto someone else.

-1 GNOME GNOMES~
Gnomes are a quirky demi-human race.  Though not the mightiest of
races, they are well versed in their studies of knowledges, magics
and religions.  Additionally, due to their familiarity with such
lore, they tend to be more resistant to magics.  They can, though,
suffer tremendously from physical attacks.

Gnomes usually focus in the magical or clerical arts, though a few
rogues have ventured into the arts of thieving (albeit often not
very well.)

Gnomes are a short, stocky race, similar to their dwarven cousins.
Most often prefer an evening at home with a magical tome, a loaf of
pipeweed bread and a cup of ale over venturing out to battle.

Gnomes gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.2
~

0 GOBLIN GOBLINS~
A small and agile race spawned of evil, said to have been originated from
elves captured by dark lords and twisted to serve their needs.  Goblins
do not tend to be friendly toward any but their own kind, even other
creatures of darkness often.  They feud with harpies, raid elven villages,
and torment humans and dwarves just for the fun of it.  They tend to be
none too intelligent, but they are quick and slippery, and can often slip
out of a bad situation.

drain the life of its opponent in larger quantities than nearly any

1 GROUP GROUPING~
Syntax:  group <character>, group all, group, group disband

'Group <character>' adds someone who is following you into your group, making
them a group member.  Group members share experience from kills, and may use
the GTELL and SPLIT commands.  If anyone in your group is attacked, you will
automatically join the fight.

If character is already a member of your group, 'group <character>' again to
remove them from your party.  Removing the character from the group does not
stop them from following you, however.  A character can also leave a group
by using the 'follow self' command, in which case they will both leave your
group and stop following you.

'Group' with no argument shows statistics for each character in your group.

'Group all' groups all eligible players following you in the room.

'Group disband' allows the leader to disband his group (members will stop
following and are ungrouped).

You may group only characters within eight levels of your own.  See section
10 of your Adventurer's Guide for more information on groups and grouping.

grub 20 level>50 gold>100000 Display 20 imms with more than 100k gold

grub  0 class=5 damroll>150  Count the number of druids with damroll>100
grub 20 site<>123.456.789    Display 20 players from site 123.456.789
grub 10 class=0 race=2       Display 10 dwarven mages
grub  1 name=Joe             Display Joe's info
grub 20 room=7070 class=0    Display 20 mages who logged off in 7070
grub  0 class!=2 class!=3 class!=4   Count the number of mana users

You always need to specify the number of lines you want displayed. The
reason for that is that we don't want to ask for a list and then get
surprised to find that it's 15,000 lines long. You can get a count
of the players that match your criteria by requesting zero lines.

GRUB will tell you how many lines there are in the list no matter how
many you ask to display. So if there are 15,000 players that meet your
criteria and you ask for the first ten, GRUB will tell you there are
15,000 in total but will only show you the first ten.

101 'GRUB EXAMPLES'~
Here are some examples illustrating common usages:

Example:

grub 20 or hitroll>150 damroll>150 gold>200000000

Suppose you want to search for "suspicious players". Suppose you want
to see players who have more than 200 million gold or whose damroll
exceeds 150 or whose hitroll exceeds 150 you can do that as follows:

Normally GRUB lists players who satisfy all the conditions you specify.
But it can also be used like this to list players who satisfy any one of
the conditions.

The operand "or" ensures GRUB will list players who satisfy any one of
the conditions.

If you had specified:

grub 20 hitroll>150 damroll>150 gold>200000000

That would show you players whose hitroll exceeds 150 and whose damroll
exceeds 150 and whose gold exceeds 200 million. It would be a much
smaller list and you would miss many suspicous players.

Example:

grub 20 name>ska name<skb room>=21000 room<=21499

Suppose someone complains that a player with a name like "Skathamaga"
picked up some of their eq and promptly quit the game. The player isn't
sure of the exact name of the thief but is sure it starts with "Ska".
The thief quit the game somewhere in New Darkhaven (vnums 21000-21499).

This example will show you players whose name starts with "Ska" and who
last quit the mud somewhere in New Darkhaven.

         10 Gith&w
&GYou can have more than one conditional expression in a Grub search. "And" is
assumed unless "or" is placed before the arguements. ie:
&W    Grub 10    class=3 sex=2    (Gives back a list of 10 female warriors)
    Grub 10 or class=3 sex=2    (Gives back a list of 10 characters that
                                 are either female, or warriors).
You must always specify how many lines the Grub will produce. This prevents
your getting a list 15000+ lines long.

101 GWHERE GFIGHTING GLOBALS IMMWHERE~
Here are some global commands that are great on spoting Mortals at their best:

Typing GWHERE will show where every player is at the time.
Typing GFIGHTING will show any player conflicts happening.

You can also use variables in the query, to get more specific results:

gwhere <low level> <high level>
This will show only a specific range of players.
gwhere <low level> <high level> mob
This will show a specific range of MOBs at that level.
NOTE:  Do NOT use a long range for MOBs.  The best results if you go 1 or
2 levels above the low level.  If you do a long range, it makes bugs.
(IE:  If your low level is 1, then make your high level 2 or 3; to avoid bugs)

gfighting <low level> <high level>
This will show only a specific range of player conflicts.
gfighting <low level> <high level> mob
This will show a specific range of MOB conflicts at the levels provided.
NOTE:  This is the same as GWHERE.  Avoid a LONG RANGE of MOB conflicts.

There should be no problems if you use these per the HELP file.

0 HALF-ELF HALFELF HALFELVES~
These beautiful creatures are the result of the mixing of human and Elven
blood.  Though the resulting Half-Elf is not as intelligent as the pure-
blooded Elf, nor as hardy as the full-blooded Human, this mix serves quite
well in a variety of classes which require the standards of both mental
and physical prowess.  Their beautiful almond eyes enable them to discern
objects in the darkness.

Not as tall as the pure Elf, they range from five feet six inches to six
feet five inches, with a heavier musculature than their ancestors.

Half-Elves gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.04.
~

0 HALF-OGRE HALFOGRE~
The Half-Ogre is a result of breeding during the dark days with humans,
when pure-blooded Ogres were known for raping and looting Human villages.
As a result of this, the Half-Ogre stands from six to nine feet tall in
height and is known for its muscle-packed body that can weigh from three
to four hundred pounds.  Most are relatively hairless, their bodies are
covered with small, boney growths, and their disproportionately long
limbs gives them a somewhat simian appearance.

This offspring of humans and Ogres has inherited great physical abilities:
an apptitude for aggression from its Ogre lineage, inherent infravision to
assist in traversing darkness, and though slightly smaller than pure-bred
Ogres it nevertheless boasts an awesome strength.  Being territorial, most
Half-Ogres will readily engage in battle to establish superiority over any
it encounters.  All in all a race best suited for the role of pure fighter.

Half-Ogres gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 0.92.
~

0 HALF-ORC HALF-ORCS HALFORC HALFORCS~
A recent mingling of Orcish and Human blood arising as the darker races
have encroached further upon the remaining settled areas, most members
of this half-blooded race are distinctly more Orcish than Human in both
appearance and behavior.  Large and dull of wit, with short but broad
bodies, their poor mental and physical dexterity is offset by an iron
constitution.  Though some have dabbled in the sorcerous arts due to
their human influence, brute combat is is still the natural call which
stirs in the soul of the Half-Orc.  All Half-Orcs possess infravision.

Though not as broad nor powerful as full-blood Orcs, Half-Orcs usually
retain their wider bodies, longer, bowed limbs and heavier musculature.
A ridged brow crowned by bushy eyebrows conceals small, squinting eyes;
below a snout-like noses opens a maw filled with crooked fangs; dark
skin emanating a rancid odor; their presence disgusts civilized races.
Standing from five to seven feet tall and averaging two hundred pounds,
an altogether fearsome race.

Half-Orc's gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 0.94.
~

0 HALF-TROLL HALFTROLL~
An intermingling (carried out in the darker lands of the Realms) of the
blood of the Troll with that of Humans, the Half-troll is as deadly as
it is hideous.  Though considerably smaller than full-blood Trolls, the
Half-troll often stands well over eight feet in height and carries over
three hundred pounds on its heavily-muscled frame.  Though naturally of
low wisdom, the race was sorcerously imbued with a wicked intelligence
and the ability to see naturally in the darkness.  Half-trolls usually
make poor pure magic users, and suffer from an unusually low dexterity.
Yet their boundless energy and high intellect create one of the most
cunning physical beasts of the Realms in experienced hands.

Owing in part to the black blood which courses through their heavy veins,
the heavily-scaled skin of the Half-troll ranges in color from a charcoal
grey to a deep, blackish green.  Half-trolls revel in the fright of their
appearance, often wearing their hair in battle-braids and emblazoning
themselves with brands and tattoos to accentuate the effect.

Half-Trolls gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 0.90.
~

0 HALFLING HALFLINGS~
Stout, round, open-minded and very elusive the Hobbit has a level
of dexterity which is only equal to his wit. Many enjoy the thrill of
reading a good book, or telling stories by the fire. Many halflings,
because of this, tend to avoid adventuring, though some rare hobbits
choose the path of the Bard, or storyteller, for their keen intellect
serves them well. This intelligence, coupled by a surprising
determination makes them a curious (though somewhat underpowered)
ally.

Halflings have compact bodies and thick, long limbs, and usually have
very hairy feet. Eye color range from blue, brown, green, and any shade
inbetween.

Halflings gain experience on a scale of normal rate * 1.02.
~

1 HALLUCINATION~
Syntax: cast hallu <victim>

This spell will heighten the victim's mentalstate, causing them to see

~

1 HAMSTRING~
By using his superior training and techniques one
can strike at the major muscles of
the leg, rendering their opponent slowed and greatly
immobilized.

The more you use this attack on an opponent, the stronger the
effect becomes.
~

-1 HARASSMENT~
.
&GHarassment is giving a person unwanted attention, whether you perceive it
as negative or positive attention.  If a person is made to be uncomfortable
by your attention or comments, you are harassing that person.  If a person
asks you to desist in talking to them or performing socials on them, and
you do not stop, you are harassing that person.  If you act in an intimate
manner to a character, without their permission, you are harassing that
person.

No form of harassment is tolerated in the Realms.  We especially frown upon
unwanted comments or actions with a sexual nature or explicit content.  If
you do not have an intimate relationship with the person, whether in real
life or within the Realms, you should refrain from using suggestive actions
and/or comments.

If you are caught harassing another player in any way, you can be silenced,
helled, frozen, denied, and/or site banned.  Harassing another player is a
serious violation of the rules and will not be permitted.  If you choose
to harass an immortal, you will simply be deleted.

~

0 HARPER HARPERS~
Harpers revel in the magic of music, and are capable of singing songs that
can produce effects comparable to those of any mage.  They enjoy music even
only for entertainment, but their true power is in their magical instruments
only a select few among their races know how to make, which can allow any,
harper or no, the power of harper songs.  When they sing, their songs bring
magic to those who hear.  They need to be rather intelligent to memorize
the correct notes, as well as needing a good amount of dexterity, for
the actual playing of the music.
~

0 HARPY HARPIES~
Harpies are part human and part bird, having the wings and talons of a
vulture and the head and arms of a human.  They are considered by many to be
vile, evil, and filthy creatures who love nothing better than to watch
a human die for a good laugh.  They tend to live in flocks, and feed on
carrion when they cannot get fresh meat.  Most of the goodly races avoid
them whenever possible.
~

1 HASTE SLOW~
Syntax: c haste <target>

This spell allows the target to move at an accelerated pace, getting
more hits in per round than usual.

Syntax: c slow <victim>

Colors &wcan now be added to help files using the same command set that changes

including ^bbackground^x colors. However there are a couple of quirks to take
note of:
&Y
    1) At the very least, the first character of a help file cannot be
       either the symbol '&&' or the symbol '^^'.
    2) Color changes have to be separated by at least one character. ie,
       '&&Y.^^r' will work, '&&Y^^r' will cause problems.
    3) Color codes are imbedded within text and _do_ count in note buffers
       for line length. ie, watch out for <Long Line Trimmed>.
&w
Colors should be used to &Yenhance &wthe help file, or specific parts of the
help file. Tact and restraint should be used if considering the use of colors.

105 HELL UNHELL~
Syntax: hell <character> <number> <hours or days>
Syntax: unhell <character>

The hell command sends a character to hell for a given period of time.  It
automatically releases the character when their time has been served.  Upon
being helled, the character receives the message, "The immortals are not
pleased with your actions.  You shall remain in hell for <time period>".

Hell takes arguments of either hours or days.  To hell someone for 3 hours,
"hell <character> 3 hours".  To hell someone for three days, "hell <character>
3 days".  Hell will default to hours if hours or days is not specified.

You may not hell someone for more than thirty days with the hell command.

To release a player from hell, simply "unhell <character>".

~

0 HIDE SNEAK VISIBLE~
Syntax:  hide
Syntax:  sneak
Syntax:  visible

If you successfully HIDE, other characters and creatures cannot see you
unless they are affected by 'detect hidden'.

If you successfully SNEAK, you can move from place to place without being
noticed by other characters.

In order to HIDE or SNEAK successfully, you must practice the appropriate
skill.

VISIBLE cancels your hiding and sneaking, as well as any invisibility,
effectively making you visible again to all.
~

1 HITALL~
Syntax: hitall

Hitall is a fighter skill that will start a fight by hitting all the
opponents in the room.  For nondeadly characters, the 'opponents' means
mobs, for deadlies it means all the deadly players in the room.

Be aware that area attacks are aggressive to all mobs in the room,
including pets, mounts and charmed creatures.

1 HL HLIST~
Syntax: hlist <low level range> <high level range>

This command will give you a listing of available help files. The list
is in alphabetical order based on the first triggering keyword. While
this command was initially designed as a maintenance tool to help us
track help files, it is also available to players so that they can
capture a listing of the help files available to them.

Note - You may only view help files that are coded for viewing by your
       level or lower.

Note - The list of help files is quite extensive, and the command does
       not as yet have a way to filter/shorten the list. Screen capture
       is, at present, your only recourse.

large opponents.
~

101 HOLYLIGHT INVIS~
Syntax: holylight
Syntax: invis

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.

INVIS is a toggle which makes you completely invisible to all player characters
of lower level than you, and to all mobiles.

When an immortal is INVIS, they will have a flag on the who list which
indicates their level of invisibility, such as (51) for INVIS 51.  A
similar flag will also appear when you 'LOOK' in a room - this flag will
say (Invis 51).

HOLYLIGHT will not allow you to see immortal INVIS characters who are
higher level than you.

~

1 HOWL~
Syntax: howl

This skill allows a werewolf to let out a bloodcurdling howl
that due to the fear it strikes in the werewolf's opponants gives
strength and speed to the wolf, allowing them to hit more often
and harder than usual.  The howl has two effects, the wolf's fury and
strength.  After the fury is gone the strength will remain for a time,
during which the wolf cannot bring the fury back until the
wolf's strength returns to normal.

 level <level> <help topic>      Sets help topic to specified level
 keyword <keyword> <help topic>  Sets help keyword to specified keyword
 remove <level.><help topic>     Removes the specified help page

Note:  If you wish to set more than one keyword to a help topic, enclose all
       the keywords, space separated inside quotes.  (Like in spellcasting)
Note:  If you have instances of multiple help files with the same keyname,
       using Hset Remove without a level designation will remove the one with
       the lowest level of access. ie:

       Help file XYZZY at level 57, and help file 'SAVE XYZZY' at level 58.
       Typing 'HSET REMOVE XYZZY' will remove the level 57 XYZZY.
       Typing 'HSET REMOVE 58.XYZZY' will remove the level 58 'SAVE XYZZY'.

Setting a help entry level to -1 prevents the header from showing up
when you view the help with the help command.

HELP HUMAN HUMANS

In the beginning there were Humans, Elves and Ogres. Humans are the most
numerous and the plainest race in the Realms. Although possessing no special
abilities or bonuses, they are the most adaptable and flexible race and are
able to assume any class. Humans are bipedal creatures with two arms
and a roundish head. Their height, weight, eye and hair color vary greatly. It
is rare to find any two who look exactly alike. In dark times Humans and Elves
mated creating a new race, called HALF-ELVES (see help HALF-ELF HALFELF) and
Humans and Ogres mated created the Half-Ogre Race.  (See help HALF-OGRE, or

1 IGNORE~
Syntax:  ignore
Syntax:  ignore <character>
Syntax:  ignore reply/none

Ignore allows you to ignore other characters in the Realms.  All tells,
says, socials, and emotes from these characters will be blocked (gagged
out).  You will still see their communications through public channels,
however.

Simply typing ignore will give you a list of all the characters you are
currently ignoring.

Ignore <character> allows you to add or remove a character from your list
of ignored players.  If the name is already on the list it will be removed.
If the name is not on the list it will be added.  Note that only the names
of actual characters will be accepted and that it is not necessary for
them to be logged on at the time.

Ignore reply will cause you to ignore the last person to send you a tell.
This can be used to prevent invisible people from spamming you.

Ignore none will set you to ignoring no one.

~

1 'ILL FORTUNE'~
Syntax: c 'ill fortune' <victim>

Ill Fortune reduces the victim's luck by three.
~

0 ILLUSIONIST ILLUSIONISTS~
Wizards of trickery, masters of illusion.  They are capable of producing
many fantastic visual effects and know a very few spells that are capable
of creating tangible effects for a short time, but their medium is primarily
the eye, and tricking the mind into believing in what is not really there
or concealing what is truly there.  As such, they tend to be thought less
of than a true mage, but illusionary magic tends to be easier and faster
to learn than elemental magic.
~

101 'IMM AUTH' 'IMM AUTHORIZE'~
Associated help files: authorize

Authorize <player> name -- This is the command used to allow a player to
  continue in the Spectral Gate pre-auth area, but will make them choose
  a new name prior to entering the Academy.  Use this command if the name
  is questionable, modern, or rude.  If the name is acceptible, but in all
  caps, accept the name, but send them a tell requesting they not use all
  caps for their name in the future.

Authorize <player> yes -- This is used to accept a players name.  Once this
  command is used, the player requires no further Immortal commands to enter
  the Realms.

Authorize <player> no -- This command is exclusively used to deny players
  with extremely rude or profane names and banned sites.  Use this command
  sparingly.

Levels 51-54 have primary responsibility for character authorization.  All
Immortals should periodically type 'authorize' to assure their are not any
players waiting for authorization.  The new system allows the Immortals a
bit of time to decide if an name is appropriate before accepting or denying
it.  If you are in doubts to a names acceptibilty, but it is not profane or
extremely modern, you should probably accept it.
~

100 IMMEXAM~
Syntax: immexam <player> <container>

This command will allow an immortal to see what a player has inside
a container without having the object in thier own inventory.
~

100 IMMHOST~
Syntax:  immhost add    <name> <host>
Syntax:  immhost delete <name> <host>
Syntax:  immhost save
Syntax:  immhost
This command is for setting the hosts allowed for immortals that are added
with this command.  Wildcards are allowed (*), so *edu, would allow any domain
from edu connect and 127*, would allow any local domain to connect.
IMMHOST without arguments will show a list of names and what domains they are
allowed to connect from.
To delete a command you need to provide the name and the host, this allows
for multiple hosts for a certain name.
This file won't be saved until the immhost save command is issued.

.                            * Immortal Rules *

     These following rules are for the immortals of ResortMUD.

NOTE:  These rules apply to immortals of level 51 - 60.

1.      You should not have contact with mortals unless assistance is
        required.
2.      You will not restore, adjust stats, alter or equip mortals.
        Only exception is for mortals under level 6, use newbieset.
3.      You have no authority in law enforcement of this MUD. Report
        all infractions to a senior immortal.
4.      You will be given a grace period to learn your immortal trade
        on this MUD. If you do not learn it withing a few days, you
        will be returned to mortal status.
5.      You will be assigned an area for use of constructing an area
        to be placed in this MUD. If you succeed in construction
        steadily and reach a large sum of room space, you will be
        promoted. Do not asked to be promoted before then. Quality and
        quanity is what we seek in an area.
6.      If you feel you have completed your area, have a senior
        immortal look the area over and make a decision about your
        area and its future.
7.      Do not continually harass others, mortal or immortals, in
        anyway. If you are considered to be a pest as an immortal, you
        will be demoted back to mortal status and mortal rules will
        apply.

104 IMOTD~
Okay a coulpe of things for people to work on here...
 
These areas appear to be not linked in yet, so this needs to be done. I
checked every single area so I couldn't check every single room, but
after a cursory search they seem to have no links to other areas
 
isledead.are
mahntor.are
arachnos.are
dream.are
galaxy.are
destard.are
troy.are
cage.are
onasis.are
 
I also want to document where every area is linked in at, with directions
to the area from darkhaven if possible.
 
Also, the southern continent needs some work.
 
Vacra is working on help files, so you could assist with that as well.
You can use fshow helps to see a list of help files people have tried
to use but don't exist. If you don't have fshow, ask Andy.
 
Possibly more to come.

All you have to do is place each mob in its proper room, wearing what it
should be wearing, carrying what it should be carrying, and objects in their
proper places, or in their proper containers, and doors in their proper
states, (open, closed, locked).  The instazone command will clear out your
current resets (if any), and create new ones for you.
You may optionally specify "nodoors" so that door resets will not be
created.

NOTE:  This command will wipe out any existing resets!  Do not use this
command after you have added your own resets with 'reset add'.
The recommended procedure is to use instazone, then use the 'reset' command
to add any special resets, and NOT use instazone again.

See RESET and RESETCMDS.

 - affects the amount of mana regenerated or recovered at each tick
   if a character is resting or sleeping

 - the rate at which a character learns a new skill or spell

 - the percentage rate at which a character practices a new language

Intelligence is an important factor in learning between combatants.  If
a character fights a creature several times, the more intelligent of the
two opponents will gain an advantage over time...

Intelligence is the prime attribute of the mage.

1 ITEMS INVENTORY EQ EQUIPMENT EQDAMAGE~

Syntax: inventory

EQUIPMENT lists your equipment (armor, weapons, and held items).
Count the plus signs next to each equipped item to measure its condition
INVENTORY lists items you carry but are not currently using.

While in combat, you may notice that your equipment is taking damage.  For
example, you may see "Your lifebane gets damaged."  Each time this happens,
the armor class (AC) of the item is damaged by one.  If the AC is 5, after
the item is damaged more than five times, it will be destroyed or scrapped.
If you wish to preserve the equipment, you must repair it by taking it to
the town blacksmith.  NOTE: Not all equipment is repairable.
You may also notice that when a creature attacks you with acid
breath or another acid attack, equipment gets "etched and pitted."  If this
occurs, the item's AC is damaged by one, permanently.  You cannot
repair the damage done by "pitting and etching."

As a side note, there wasn't any room for any new channels so i had
to build this from the ground up, and it just wasn't practical, for
either my time schedule, or the mud to include features like channel
socials, and channel emotes. -Garinan

~

0 KENDER~
Kender are a small and very curious race, often too curious for their own
good.  When they see something that looks interesting, they often pick it
up to look at it, and, easily distracted by another interesting item, might
put the item in their pouches without thinking about it.  They are small-boned
and elvish in appearance, though they rarely grow over 4 feet tall.  Their
customary weapons include the hoopak and the whippik, and they typically
wear their hair tied up in a topknot.

2 KILLER KILLERFLAG KILLERFLAGS~
&WThe mud will automatically assign you a &PKiller &Wflag if you cause the
death of another player. Only situations which involve peacefuls being
killed by mortals, or &RDeadlies &Wkilling fellow clanmembers will result
in the assignment of this flag. You will receive a &PKiller &Wflag if:

  1. You caused the DEATH of another player, regardless of who attacked first.
  To help prevent yourself from acquiring a &PKiller &Wflag after being
  attacked, set yourself to &YConfig +Nice &W(See &CHelp Config &Wfor info).

  2. You were the Master of a mobile which killed another player while
  under the influence of your charm. PLEASE NOTE that you will receive a
  &PKiller &Wflag even if the player that died attacked the charmed
  mobile without the Master's permission. Charmers and Pet Owners are held
  responsible for the actions of their Pets/Charmies. (See &CHelp Charm
  &Wand &CHelp Pets &Wfor more info on these topics).

  3. You are a &RDeadly &Wplayer and caused the death of a fellow Clanmember.

differently to illegal flags. You may find yourself barred from making
puchases, placed before Judge Kendra for a hearing, sentenced to
jail, or SLAYED by Harakiem.  You may apply to Judge Kendra in person to
seek removal of the flag. She is located one west of the Main Lobby in

assistance of an immortal, the ability to claim, and own land, and
the ability to declare another kingdom/clan an enemy, or an ally.
See the following helpfiles to learn more about kingdoms.

KINGDOM_REQ - Explains the requirements for a kingdom to operate.

~

0 KNIGHT KNIGHTS~
Much like the Battlemage, the Knight is a Warrior first and foremost, but
has minimal training in the clerical arts. Knights possess astonishing
physical attributes, such as a combination of strength and agility that
makes them a powerful force. Many believe that they are the mortal enemies
of Dragons but it is not always so. Most of the conflicts between the two
classes occured when a Dragon was terrorizing a Kingdom, and often you will
see that Knights and Dragons get along well.
~

Kobolds at first appear to be part monkey and part goblin, or some other
distasteful crossbreed.  They are simian in appearance, their faces more
closely resembling those of apes than anything else.  Like many of the
dark races, kobolds do not tend to get along well with others, unless
under the command of some dark lord.  They are none too intelligent,
but they tend to be stronger and faster than your average human.

101 LAYERS SHOWLAYERS~
.
&gLayers are currently available on the following wear locations:

&GAbout, Arms, Body, Feet, Hands, Legs, Waist.

&gLayers are set with a numeric value, or combination of values. The lower the
value, the lower the layer, or thinner the item of clothing/armor is. Valid
numeric values are:

&G0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128.

&gOr any combination of the above. A value of zero means no other items came
be layered with this item. Items of clothing can be layered over one another
as long as their layer values do not overlap. ie, if leather armor were set
to a value of 56 (8, 16, and 32), it could not layer with, say, a set of
heavy chain that is set to a value of 96 (32 and 64), as they overlap on the
layer value of 32.

It is suggested that only those items that will occupy the highest value
slots, or a slot of 0, have any special affects added to them. Underclothing
should only have a.c. settings.

1 LCK LUCK~
Luck (LCK in your 'score') represents the tendency of a character to succeed
or prosper through chance or good fortune.  As in life, the exact extent of
this factor remains and will always remain shrouded in uncertainty...

Also as in life, however, it can be said with surety that its influence on a
character is pervasive.  Though it affects some aspects of life here in a
very direct manner, it can affect nearly every aspect to at least a degree.

~

0 LEPRECHAUN LEPRECHAUNS~
Leprechauns are said to have been of faerie origin, for their exact nature
is unknown to most.  They tend to be very sensitive to luck, and will not
stay around people they feel to be unlucky.  For this reason, it is considered
good luck to be in the company of a leprechaun.  As a race, they are small
and fun-loving tricksters, nimble-fingered and fleet of foot.  They tend
to be good at magic as well.

    being part of a group that kills an opponent
    succeeding while learning a skill or a spell through real world usage

You lose experience by:
    fleeing from combat
    recalling out of combat
    being the target of some spells (energy drain, etc.)
    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 and some random variation.

Your last 50 kills are recorded.  Each time you kill a creature that has
been one of your last 50 kills you will receive less and less exp for it.
The creature will also learn from its experience with you over time; if
its intelligence is higher than your own it will begin to gain an
advantage over you in combat.

101 LOG SNOOP~

character toggle that persists across reboots until removed.

Certain commands (such as password) are protected against LOG.  Conversely,
certain commands (especially immortal commands) are always logged.

LOG ALL logs all character and mob commands and actions to the server's log
file, but does not send the output to the log channel.  It is a server-wide
toggle; it does not persist across reboots.

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.  The input from the player will be displayed with a header of the
players  name and a percentage sign (i.e. Mudder%)

SNOOP yourself to cancel all outstanding snoops.

0 MAGICUSER MAGE MAGES~
A mage is one of the weakest classes when it comes to body, but the mage
is a being of pure magic.  Their minds are by far the sharpest, retaining
the knowledge of some of the worlds most powerful spells.  When one begins
as a mage the body is weak.  As they grow in knowledge, experience and
power.  They will become a powerful fighting force.  Armed with an
arsenal of various spells, with the main focus in combat spells.  Their
vast repertoire of spells makes them a sought after commodity in the
Realms for their spells can mean victory or defeat for others.  A mage
must constantly study their spells for they are quickly forgotten, ruled
by the three moons, the silver moon of good, the red moon of neutrality
and the fabled black moon of evil.  A mage has a choice of either using
their powers for good or for evil.
 
Prime Attribute: intelligence
~

1 'MAGNETIC THRUST'~
'Magnetic Thrust,' much like 'Sonic Resonance,' allows the casting
Mage to control the nature of space and time in the immediate locale
of his victim.  In this sorcery, the Mage forms a wedge of magnetic
energy within the body of the victim.  As the spell progresses, the
victims organs are violently rent and internal tissues are torn.  The
resulting pain and damage are formidible, indeed.

1 MEMORIZE RECALL HOME /~
Memorize is a command that lets you set the location you recall to,
as well as allowing mages with the 'teleport superior' spell to
travel to places they have been before. To see a list of places you
have memorized, type 'memorize list'.

By just typing 'memorize' you will begin to memorize the room you
are in as your recall location. It should take a few seconds to
complete. If you want to cancel the memorization, simply enter any
other command and it will stop.

Syntax: recall

This will either send you to a memorized location or a default one when used.
Anyone can replace a slot by typing 'memorize #'.  This will remove the
saved room and replace it with a new room.  Obviously # equals a room number.

Anyone with the skill Apport Arcane may fill up and use all 7 memorize slots.

-1 MENTALSTATE MENTALSTATES 'MENTAL STATE' 'MENTAL STATES'~
.
&gYour mental state is your current frame of mind, and how clearly and
realistically you view your surroundings.  Mental states can be affected
by prolonged combat, hunger, thirst, or poison.  If you are affected by
one of the above for a period of time, your mental state will begin to
deteriorate, and you will not view your surroundings as they truly are.
You may begin to hallucinate, or become too lethargic to function, and
your general abilities will be affected.  In extreme cases you may
collapse from exhaustion or enter a delirious coma.

To restore your mental state, you may need to rest (resting and sleeping
will speed your recovery), eat, cure whatever poison afflicts you, etc.
Note that if you are malnourished your state will &wnot&g improve, even with
sleep, until you have fed and/or quenched your thirst.

Your mental state is by the text line in 'score' which describes your state
of mind (You feel great, etc.)  The 'group' display contains a less accurate
reading of your and your group-mates' mentalstates as well.

Note:  Changing your deity now affects your mental state.

Example: To use a bow and arrow, one must have a bow missile wielded and

See help &Wfire and help &Wfletch
~

101 MISSILES~
Creating a projectile is basically the same as making any other
weapon. The exception to this are its Values (see ITEMVALUES)
and the need to have missiles which match missileweapons.

&GFollow this basic proceedure to make a set of projectiles&W:
  1) Create a firing mechanism, for instance, a long bow.
  2) Set the itemtype to 'missileweapon'.
  3) Set the wearflags to 'take missile'
  4) Set the projectile values from the HELP ITEMVALUES table.
  5) Set the Value3 (V3) from the table in HELP WEAPONTYPES.

&G Now the wielded weapon is done, but you need something to fire...&W
  1) Create a shootable object, for instance, an arrow.
  2) Set the itemtype to 'projectile'
  3) Set the wearflags to 'take'.
  4) Set the projectile values from the HELP ITEMVALUES table.
  5) Set the V3 to match the V3 on the firing mechanism you created.

Don't forget to finish the items with weight, cost, long, short etc.
You now have two objects in inventory which are ready to fire.
Lastly, you may create a quiver for certain objects. To do this,
set the itemtype to 'quiver', and use v0 to set its capacity.
Be sure not to set the capacity too high, as quivers should be small.

-1 MOTD~
Message of the Day

Welcome!

If you're new and have questions, ask. Most people here will be willing to help
you, and that's what the immortals are there for. Watch the general board in
the Darkhaven square for announcements and discussion. You can use the
'bug' and 'typo' commands if you find problems (and you may).
If you think of any ideas, you can use the 'idea' command for that.

102 MOTDHELP~
&WThank you for viewing this file.  It has taken me hours to make the MOTD's
and I think they should stay this way for awhile.  Since I want this style
kept on here, here is a help file I think you should read just in case.

All the help files have a format.  The format looks like this:

&B    _,.-*-'-*-.,_,.-*-'-*-.,_,.-*-'-*-.,.-*-'-*-.,_,.-*-'-*-.,_,.-*-'-*-.,_
   /                                                                       \
                                   &rR&Ye&Bs&go&Or&Pt&wM&RU&GD&W
&c                              Message of the Day
&W                            Last Updated:  00/00/00&w
&W
&WLines 1-5 is the banner, and the 6th line is blank.  This should be kept
this was to make it look even.  Even the 6th line gives it an even flow.
After that, you have the MOTD to look at.  After the USUAL MOTD you have
something simular to this (it may vary from time to time):

&c                                 Visit UCMM at:&B
   \._          http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arena/4066/         _./
      `-*-'-*-.,_,.-*-'-*-.,_,.-*-'-*-.,.-*-'-*-.,_,.-*-'-*-.,_,.-*-'-*-'&W

So between this sandwich you have a MOTD.  Remember, please do not delete
what others have posted on the MOTD nor the banners at the top and bottom.

Decide how many lines your message will be (only messages of importance),
insert the lines that you need, goto the starting line and edit your heart
out.  If you see that you have overlapped another part of the MOTD, please
type '/a' on a new line and start the process over again.

When you are happy with your results (or when you are finished) you have to
set the date on the top of the MOTD to the date of when you edited the MOTD
last (if you are editing today, that would be today's date).  The date is
perfectly centered and should stay that way to keep the flow.  Here is what
you do to change the date (ignore the [']):

'/g 5' (This lets you edit line 5)
'/r <old date> <new date>' (This will replace the old date with the one you
                            will replace.  Use the 6 digit date format only.)
'/l' (Look to see if the MOTD looks okay)
'/s' (Saves the buffer)
'hset save' (Remember to save the help file)

If you have any questions, please talk to Yakkov or go to room 1260 and
leave a message with his Droid (read the sign in 1260 for more information).

0 MOUNT DISMOUNT~
Syntax: mount <mob>
Syntax: dismount

Mount is a skill, which allows you to mount certain mobs.  Being mounted
on a mob cuts down on movement points that are used whenever you move.

New water sectors allow a person mounted to traverse them without damage
from drowning.  If you are in an area where your movement points begin
to drop suddenly and/or you begin to lose hps <hitpoints> quickly, you
should try to mount immediately.
~

1 MOVE MOVING MOVEMENT WALK WALKING DIRECTIONS~
Movement points, or MV, are a measure of how much your character can travel
before becoming too exhausted to go any further.  Your score sheets and the
default prompt both include your current and maximum movement points.  You may 
also see your current MV by typing MOVE.

You may move north, south, east, west, up,
down, northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest.  You may also move
in these directions by typing n, e, s, w, u, d, ne, se, sw, and nw.
 
Doors and gates must be unlocked and
opened first.  To unlock a door, you type UNLOCK <direction or door name>.  To
open a door, you type OPEN <direction or door name>.

At times, you may run out of movement points or require healing.  To allow
for faster recovery, you may SIT, REST, or SLEEP.  When you are finished with
your recovery, and wish to continue adventuring, type WAKE or STAND.
~

1 MOVEMENT~
This discusses the process of moving your character from one place in the
game to another.  The common movements are north, east, south, west, up
down, northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest.  You may also move
in these directions by the use of n, e, s, w, u, d, ne, se, sw, and nw.

If you need to pass through a door, at times they require being unlocked
and opened. To unlock a door, you type UNLOCK <direction or door name>.
To open a door, you type OPEN <direction or door name>.

At times, you may run out of movement points or require healing.  To allow
for faster recovery, you may SIT, REST, or SLEEP.  When are finished with

You feel that you have earned some trust and respect among your peers,
yet you know that your jouney has only just begun.
~

-1 M_GODLVL3_~
...You begin to feel light-headed.

Your hands begin to tingle softly...
The feeling quickly grows into a strange radiating pulse of energy!

The tingle rises up your arms and into your head, filing your mind with
visions of worlds of wonder, far off places, great towers, vast mountains,
oceans, seas, lush valleys, dark caverns and twisted passages...

You sense a feeling of wonderous potential and power in your hands...
Enough power to build and create these visions for yourself!

You feel much more powerful, eager and inspired!
~

-1 M_GODLVL4_~
...You feel slightly faint as your head begins to spin.

Your hands begin to tingle once more...
A vortex of energy starts to swirl throughout your hands, going faster
and faster... becoming almost painful!

Beams of light break through your skin, one at a time, then more and
more until the light is almost to bright to bear...

As your squint your eyes, you perceive a vision of great beasts of wonder,
dangerous and unnatural fiends, pixies, faeries, tribes and clans, peoples
of all kinds, ancient forgotten artifacts, weapons of vast untapped powers,
crystal balls, magick rings, staves, wands, rods, arcane tomes of untold
secrets... your mind is bursting with inspiration...

You sense a new, reborn feeling of unlimited potential and power...
In your hands the power to build and create these visions for yourself!

The bright light from your hands fades away... but strange faint glow
remains always.

0 NECRO NECROMANCER NECROMANCERS~
Necromancers are often thought of as dark and sinister wizards of the dead,
dabbling more in death than in life.  They make their acquaintance more
with those who live only through dark powers, and their control over the
undead is incredible.  It is said that the most powerful of necromancers is
capable of controlling all but the greatest of vampire lords.  These clerics,
of course, also have the capability of raising the dead from their very
graves in order to serve them for a time.

begins to grow still, and silence takes you.

 &z&WA void of darkness and light surrounds you, darkness and light each
vying for possession of your soul.

But then you feel yourself being pulled by an inexorable force, and know
that this is not the end, as you open your eyes again you find yourself
naked, reincarnated in a new body.

 &z&WYou hear the voice of a Goddess whisper to you...
 &z&C'When your character dies, you are reincarnated at the Temple Altar
in Darkhaven.  Should you later join a clan or order you will be
reincarnated at your own altar.

Your corpse, however, will remain where you were killed, together with
your items, you that you can attempt to return to the scene and retrieve
your items.  Corpses will decay after time, and when this happens the
items within them will be left on the ground for anyone to pick up.

Once you have chosen a deity and gained sufficient favor, you will be
able to supplicate to your deity for your corpse.  Type 'help death'

I will give you this message only on your first two deaths...'

 &z&WThe divine voice is gone, and you are left to fend for yourself.

NOTE SHOW shows your note in progress; NOTE CLEAR starts over.

NOTE POST posts your note for reading.  Posting is not automatic.

NOTE REMOVE removes the entire note if you are the sender, or just removes you
from the to-list if you are a recipient.

NOTE TAKE takes the note as in NOTE REMOVE, as well as physically taking
it in your inventory.

Notes now require a blank note to be held in your hands, and a quill to
be in your inventory.

112 'NUISANCE STAGES'~
Stages of nuisances are the affects that the victim picks up while in
that stage.  As time progresses and the victim progresses through the
stages, they pick up new problems and the old ones gradually strengthen.
So for example if they are in stage 3 and progress to stage 4.  They
will feel more affects from stage 1,2 and 3 and pick up the affects from
stage 4. Power level is how hard they get hit with the affect. So if in stage
1 the affect was 2% of the time at power level 1 it may be 4% of the time
in power level 2.  And in stage 2 the affect in stage 1 may be 4% of the
time at power level 1 and 8% of the time at power level 2.
So with that being said here are the current stages and their affects:
Stage 1:  The Thirst Stage
          This makes them become thirsty quicker.  The formula used is the
following: <current stage>*<power level> for how much more is added to your
following: <current stage>*<power level> for how much more is subtracted from
your thirst each time.  With 100 being not thirsty and 0 being dehydrated.
Stage 2:  The Hunger Stage
          The hunger stage works exactly as above except, the formula
subtracts 1 from the current stage becoming: (<current stage>-1)*<power level>
Stage 3:  The Mentalstate Stage
          In this stage each time your mentalstate worsens nuisance exagerates
the amount you worsen by. The formula used to compute how much more it
adds or subtracts is: .4*(<current stage>-2)*<power level>.
Stage 4:  The Potion Stage
          In this stage you can not stomach as many potions as you normally
could without the nuisance flag.  Normally if your thirst or hunger is above
48 you can't quaf anymore.  Nuisance makes this a much lower number.
The formula used is: (48-(3*<current stage>)+<power level>)
So at power level 10, stage 10 you could only quaf 8 potions on an empty
stomach.
Stage 5:  The Wait Stage
          In this stage commands start taking longer to complete.  A
normal spell for example takes around 8-15 rounds of wait time.  With this
stage more wait time is added with the following formula:
(<current stage> -4 ) + <power level>    So at Stage 6 at power level 5,
each command would have an additionl 7 wait added to it.
Stage 6:  The Offensive Magic Stage
           In this stage you have a chance of targeting yourself with
offensive spells instead of whatever target is specified.  The formula
for the percentage or the time you do it is the following:
(<current stage>-5)*8 + <power_level>*6  So at first stage 6 with a power
level of 5 you would have a 38% chance to target yourself with offensive
spells.
Stage 7:  The Defensive Magic Stage
          In this stage, if you are fighting someone you have a chance to
target them with any defensive spells you cast.  The formula used is the
following:  (<current stage>-6)*8 + <power_level>*6
Continued in help 'NUISANCE STAGES2'
~

112 'NUISANCE STAGES2'~
Stage 8:  The Speech Stage
          In this stage you have a chance to scramble your speech and
scramble other peoples speech (IE what you hear from them).  This works
on a percentage with the following formula:
(<current stage>-7)*10*<power level>  So at stage 9 with power level 2
speech is scrambled 40% of the time.
Stage 9:  The Movement Stage
            In this stage you start moving in random directions like a drunk
does.  This is worked out in a percentage as well. Which works of the
following formula:  (<current stage>-8)*10*<power level>  So in stage 10
with a power level of 4 you would randomly choose an exit 80% of the time.
Stage 10:  The command Stage
           In this stage your commands start failing (Like mentalstate).
This is done on a percentage of the following:
(<current stage>-9)*10*<power level>  So at stage 10, power level 10 the
character becomes utterly useless, as commands will fail 100% of the time.
Soon there will be more options, when they come in the help files you should

&wThis only works on pc's.  The optional parameters are as follows:
  &cmaxtime <#> <minutes/days/hours>&w
         &wThe maxstage of nuisance. Default is 8 days.
  &ctime <#>&w:  The time in days that the nuisance flag will stay on the

         removed. If this option is not used it will default to a permenant
         penalty.
  &cpower <#>&w:  A number from 1 to 10, 10 being the worst for the player.

&WNote the words before the options are not optional and must be used.

&RExamples:  &cnuisance mortal maxtime 5 days time 7 power 5
&GThis would nuisance mortal for 7 days with the maximum stage being
reached in 5 days, at a power level of 5.  Also note you can leave options
out:  &cnuisance mortal maxtime 5 days power 5 &Gfor example would set the

and various other names, nymphs are a gentle race, very friendly even though
they tend to keep to themselves.  They shun all that is evil and dark,

Also see:  Clubs and Clans.
~

0 ORDERTALK OTALK GUILDTALK GTALK GT OT~
Syntax:  ordertalk <message>
         guildtalk <message>

Provided that you are in an Order, ordertalk will send the message to
all members currently online, as well as the deity if they are online.
The same for Guilds, but the channel is named guildtalk.
~

101 OSET~
Syntax:  oset <object>    <field> <value>
         oset object on

If the copy of the object you are currently modifying has the PROTOTYPE flag,
your modifications will also modify the index of that object, which all other
instances of the object are based on.  In the future, every copy of that obj
will reflect your modifications.

Also be aware that modifications to the object affect list (everything that
is listed after 'object values') will affect _every_ copy of that object in
the game, including old copies (even if they are not online).  Thus if you
change a prototype-flagged copy of a sword to +4 damroll, every copy of that
vnum ever made will reflect that change.  If you add a 'magic' flag to that
sword, however, only copies made after the change will be affected.

If the copy of the object you are modifying does NOT have the PROTOTYPE flag,
your modifications will affect only that copy.

OSET ON will lock you onto a particular object.  Once locked on, all commands
commands will imply 'oset <object>'.  Hitting enter while in OSET ON gives
you an ostat of the object you are working on.  To get out of OSET ON, simply
type the word DONE. Example:

        oset staff on
        long A long gnarled staff of burnished oak lies here.
        type staff
        done

-1 PALADIN PALADINS~
The Paladin
___________________________________________________________
"You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with
grace, since God has blessed you forever.  Gird your sword upon your side,
O mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.

In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and
righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds.

Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies; let the
nations fall beneath your feet...

You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has
set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy...

I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the
nations will praise you for ever and ever..."
___________________________________________________________

Paladins are warrior priests who draw their power from acts of righteousness
and strict adherence to the Code of The Temple of Solomon.  Their strength
in battle, combined with the ability to perform limited miracles is offset
by the difficulty they experience in perfecting their craft, and the penalties
they suffer when they stray from the path of good.
~

1 PANIC~
Syntax:  PANIC

All player characters, mortal and Immortal, are set with a function called
IMMPROOF.  This prevents player characters from being transferred and forced
by Immortals against their will.

In a situation of danger, IMMPROOF can prove fatal to the character in
events where the player cannot toggle IMMPROOF off and ask an IMM for
help quickly enough to avoid death.

This is where the PANIC command comes in.  When a player finds him/herself in
mortal danger, they type "PANIC" and IMMPROOF is toggled off and a chat
HELP! message is sent across the mud.  The person in trouble can then be
transferred out of danger by an Immortal or others can come to his or her
rescue.  PANIC is ONLY to be used in emergencies. You MUST try recalling
first.  PANIC is NOT to be abused.  Any misuse or abuse of PANIC will result
in severe punishment.

After the player is rescued and out of danger, IMMPROOF may be turned back
on by typing CONFIG +IMMPROOF.

~

0 'PASS DOOR'~
Syntax: cast 'pass door'

This spell enables the caster to pass through closed doors.
~

0 PASSWORD~
Syntax:  password  <new password>   <new password>

PASSWORD changes your character's password.  You repeat the new password only.
If you do not get it correctly it will not work.  This should end the typo
locking you out of your character.
The PASSWORD command is protected against being snooped or logged; it is
impossible for any immortal to in any way see, find or retrieve it.  It
is the responsibility of the player to ensure that the password of the
character is kept secure.

Passwords can not contain certain characters, or spaces.  We also advise
that you use an alphanumeric password (one containing both numbers and
letters) as they are harder to guess.  We also recommend that you choose
a password that is greater than 6 characters in length.  A good rule of
thumb is if it is in the dictionary, it is probably not a good password.

NOTE:  if you decide to trade a character, you do so at your own risk.
Immortals are not responsible for ensuring fair trades.  You may seek an
immortal to oversee a trade, but it is not their  responsibility.

&YThe password policy is:  password equals ownership.&w

~

2 PASSWORD_ZMUD~
When you're using zMUD and want to change your password, remember to change
it in the zMUD character settings as well as on the mud.  The MUD's command
for this is:  password <new password> <new password>
In zMUD, click on 'File', then 'Another Character', or 'File', then 'Open'
to access the character settings - and change the password there.
If you have forgotten your character's password but can still log on with
the character, you can still find out what the password is.  Log on with
that character, click on 'View', then 'Preferences' and then click on
General Settings'.  Find the checkbox for 'Gag Password' and make sure the
box is not checked.  Click on 'Ok' to close the dialog box.
Type the command #say %pass [enter].  Your password will be shown on your
screen, but not sent to the mud.  Write it down, for future reference.

0 PSIONICIST PSIONICISTS PSI~
Psionicists are capable of producing magical effects without the use of
spells, songs, gestures, chants, or scrolls at all, but using only their
mind and focusing upon what they wish to do.  As such, a psionicist must
concentrate more on producing the actual effects than on memorizing spells
or songs required to bring about the effect.  They tend to be direct and
very straightforward in their dealings with others.  If they have a strong
mind, they can create some amazing effects, sometimes doing things even
wizards fear to attempt.

-1 PUEBLO~
Welcome to the wonderful world of Pueblo.  The newest version is 2.01 and
it was made by Chaco in 1996.  The codebase has open source code now, so
we are thinking of making changes to it if possible.  This is still up in
the air at this time...

Right now you can have a taste of Pueblo on here...  Just look at these
help files:

Pueblo1         The old Project: TOY Pueblo greeting...  It is pretty neat.
Pueblo2         The original Pueblo Flash intro.  It has music by
                "They Might Be Giants".
Pueblo3         This is the Flash commercial for UCMM.
Pueblo4         This is the Flash commercial for Kilokahn's World O' Wonder.

We hope these help you test this nice product out...  It is surely something
that would be a plus to the MUDding industry.

0 PUGILISM 'LONG BLADES' 'SHORT BLADES' 'FLEXIBLE ARMS' 'TALONOUS ARMS' BLUDGEONS~

classes have different maximum proficiencies with different types of arms, i.e.
mages are best with 'short blades' and clerics with 'bludgeons.'

Proficiency less than 50% with a given weapon type means that damage inflicted
is less than "normal," proficiency greater than 50% increases your damage
per hit.

These skills are automatic: you need not type anything to invoke them.
"Pugilism" affects your proficiency with otherwise unclassified weapons.

1 'QUANTUM SPIKE'~
The 'Quantum Spike' is one of the Sorceror's most awesome attacks.  With
this spell, the casting Mage is able to form, within the body of his
victim, a sphere of Quantum probability optimized in such a way as to
cause the most bizarre contortion of bodily order imaginable.  Organs
and tissues are rendered into unrecognizable blobs interconnected in
fiendish, unknowable geometries.

creature, as well as any entity which has an extention into the
physical world.

1 QUI QUIT LOGOUT~
Syntax: QUIT

QUIT leaves the game.  You may QUIT anywhere.  When you re-enter the game
you will be back in the same room, unless that room has a prog that moves
you upon re-entry.

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 here.  Just SAVE and QUIT whenever you want to leave.
~

2 QUICKFEET~

0 RANGER~
A ranger is the outdoorsman and adventuresome free spirit of the times.  A
self-sufficient person, the ranger is adaptable and can survive in almost
any locale.  Skilled with weapons and able to utilize some of the finest
armor available, a ranger is physically skilled enough to take on most any
foe.  However, for especially hardy opponents, a ranger also can cast many
useful spells to both hinder his opponent and aid himself.  From minor
curative magics to blinding his enemy, the ranger is the most adept class
at surviving on its own.  A ranger typically travels light, but he does
have the mighty strength of a warrior to carry equipment needed in his
travels.  Like the druid (the class other than warrior that he most
closely resembles), his need for help from outside sources is low.

REBOOT shuts down the server.  When the normal 'startup' script is used
to control the server, a delay of sixty seconds will ensue (to allow
old connections to die), followed by a reboot.

1 'REIMB' 'REIMBURSEMENT'~
Deadly characters are never eligible for Reimbursements.
Experience can _not_ be reimbursed under any circumstances whatsoever.

The following are causes we will NOT reimburse for:
-- Loss of corpse due to corpse decay.  See "help corpse" for details.
-- Loss of corpse due to lag.
-- Loss of corpse due to problems with your system or the net.
-- Individual items lost due not saving your character regularly.
-- Individual items lost due to carrying items above your level.
-- Individual items lost because they were zapped or dropped on the ground.
-- Containers lost because they were left on ground or destroyed by a mob.
-- Weapon loss due to disarm before crash, reboot, or from a mob taking it.
-- Items lost due to hitting a death trap
-- Items lost due to scrapping by mobs or other players
-- Items lost due transferring equipment from one character to another.
-- Items lost due to not saving after looting your corpse and a crash occurs.

Corpses are now saved across crashes and reboots, eliminating the need
for most reimbursements due to corpse loss.  The ONLY cause for reimbursement
is when a corpse reappears in the game empty after a crash or reboot.

To apply for a reimbursement post a note on the Oracle Board setting out the
circumstances of the loss and the five items you had prior to loss that you
would like reimbursed.  We will not reimburse certain items, such as gold,
potions, glory, clan items, or more than one weapon.  We will only consider
reimbursement requests made within one hour of a reboot or crash.  Only a
Demi God or higher may do a reimbursement, but any level Immortal may deny
one.  We will attempt to deal with the request as expeditiously as possible.
~

1 REMAINS~
Syntax:  remains

A worshipper may request knowledge on the disposition of their remains
from his or her deity (meaning the location and remaining time before
complete decay).  However, the imposition comes at the cost of a small
amount of favor -- approximately twice that of the character's level.

If no remains exist, there is no penalty to favor.

SEE ALSO:  supplicate
~

2 REMORT~
Syntax:  remort

to use it properly.

WEAR ALL will attempt to HOLD/WEAR/WIELD each suitable item in inventory.

REMOVE will take an object from your equipment and place it into inventory.

REMOVE ALL will remove all your equipment and place it into inventory.

~

1 RENAME~
A rename may be done by a level 54 or higher immortal.  If you wish
for the rekey to be completed at the same time, you must contact a
level 56 or higher immortal.  The rename can be purchased with 20
glory or a rename scroll.  Wedding renames are done with a marriage
license by Blorin, the Darkhaven engraver.  (See help wedding)
Renames are to be medieval in style for mortals and must not contain
the name of an immortal without their expressed consent.  Items will
not be renamed to machine gun, silly putty, etc.
Before contacting an immortal to redeem glory or scrolls for a rename,
please have in mind what you would like done.  You will need to consider
the following:
Short description - what is seen when the item is worn by a person.
Long description - what is seen when the item is lying on the ground.
Rekey - the renaming of the item (usually something from the short desc)

 &z&RImportant: ANY changing of the short desc, long desc, or keywords--
including adding color--costs 20 glory for all three.

Demon's presence.

We can specify names that we want to reserve because they belong to
former imms (like Narn and Dominus). We can specify names that are
often tried and are a bit of a pain (like Killer or Satan or Seth).

We can specify parts of names by preceding the string with an "*">
e.g.  reserve *goof
This will prevent any name with the substring "goof" ... like ...
"goofface", "biggoof" or "biggoofface".
All deity names should be reserved.

reserve                        list current reserved names
reserve joe                    add joe to the list if he's not on it
reserve joe                    remove joe to the list if he is on it

every minute, but with the high number of players usually online it may take
hours before your own is auto-saved.  For this reason, you should not
rely on auto-save to keep your character updated -- save frequently.

Type SAVE immediately after recovering your corpse, gaining experience or
a level in battle, getting new items, making purchases or repairs, etc.

Some objects (such as keys) may not be saved.  You cannot SAVE and QUIT
with objects of a higher level than your own, as they will vanish when

~

0 SEAELF SEA-ELF SEA-ELVES SEAELVES 'SEA ELF'~
Also called Aquatic Elves, they are akin to mermen as land elves are
akin to men.  Found almost exclusively among heavy weed beds in quiet,
sheltered, salty waters, they are great friends of the dolphins.  The
race historically prefers to fashion caverns in lagoon bottoms and
reefs in which to live and work, but the reality of the today's Realms
has forced them into the general populace.

The race is humanoid in appearance, with gill slits on the throat and
greenish-silver skin and green or blue-green hair.  Sea elves have an

from the Underworld do as well. The flames can become so powerful
that they scorch the soul of the victim.
~

1 'SECOND ATTACK' 'THIRD ATTACK' 'FOURTH ATTACK' 'FIFTH ATTACK'~
These are powerful skills which allow a character to attack more than
once per combat round.  Use of these skills is automatic once you have
practiced them.

While you can practice the attacks out of turn (third attack before you
have mastered second attack, for example), it is extremely inefficient
to do so.

~

1 'SECOND CAST' 'THIRD CAST' 'FOURTH CAST' 'FIFTH CAST' 'SIXTH CAST' 'SEVENTH CAST' 'EIGHTH CAST'~
A player with knowledge of these skills will automatically cast an
offensive spell multiple times rather than a single time, at a
reduced mana cost than casting them that number of times.  These skills
work much like second attack does for attacks, and are automatic once
practiced.

101 SETBOOT~
Syntax: setboot time <hour> <minute>
      setboot manual <0|1>

The setboot command is useful for planning a reboot, (to save you from
the trouble of all those echos :) ) and for the daily boot.  The manual
bit is used by the mud to determine whether the boot time was set by
hand.  When the mud starts up, the boot time is set to 0600hrs (6am)
and the manual bit to 0.  If 'setboot time' is used, the mud sets the
manual bit to 1.  When it comes time to do the reboot, the mud checks
how long it has been running.  If it has been running less than 18
hours and the reboot time has not been set manually, the reboot does
not take place (nor do the automatic warning echoes).

Echoes: when a scheduled reboot is coming up, the mud will send out
echoes to that effect.  The echoes start 30 minutes before the reboot
and are repeated at t minus 15, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 minute(s).

  in to the corresponding player directory, load the pfile, and edit
  its level to 65.

You're now ready to log your level 65 in to your mud and proceed.

code, mailing list information, a list of SMAUG muds and links to other
SMAUG resources.

Check out the webpage at http://www.game.org/smaug/
~

1 SMAUG1~
To get SMAUG running under Windows 95, perform the following
steps, in order.
1.  Download the following files from ftp.game.org/pub/smaug
    to C:\
       SMAUG1.02.TGZ
       SMAUGw32.ZIP OR SMAUGW32_1_02A.ZIP
       Note: The two zip files are mutually exclusive. One
       file has routines for CRYPTO.  See the index on the
       ftp site for details.  Download only the latest
       version of the programs.
2.  Download an UNTGZ program and a copy of mIRC or identd from a
    web site that has them. IF your uncompression program is able
    to handle both zip and tgz files, this step may be unnecessary.
3.  With SMAUG1.02.TGZ in your C:\ root directory, UNTGZ the file.
    This will build the directories needed for SMAUG.
See &Whelp smaug2 &w for Windows information

~

1 SMAUG2~
.
4.  Copy or move the smaug zip file into C:\DIST\SYSTEM and unzip
    the file.
5.  Copy C:\DIST\SYSTEM\cygwin.dll to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
6.  Copy the .ARE and .LST files into C:\DIST\SYSTEM
7.  Run mIRC/identd software and minimize the window.  This handles
    the addressing routines.  If it is not active, you may experience
    alot of lag as the system attempts to resolve the addressing fo
    the screen displays and responses.
8.  Open a DOS window and set your memory configuration to place as
    much of your memory into EXTENDED memory allocation as possible.

9.  To run SMAUG, you can either:
    a)  Open a DOS window, go to C:\DIST\SYSTEM and type SMAUG.
    b)  In windows, go to C:\DIST and double click on the SMAUG.EXE
        file.

during daytime hours, between 7 A.M. and 5 P.M. and you will only succeed
in casting if both you and your victim are in an outdoor area -- you need
the power of the sun in order for this spell to work (thus it will also

~

1 SPAM SPAMMING~
No, we are not talking about a luncheon meat here.  Spam is the repeated use
of a phrase, command, or channel that causes screen scroll for others.  Not
only is spam considered rude, but excessive screen scroll can interfere with
the game play of anyone seeing it (not to mention combat situations).  The
game will also tell you to ***PUT A LID ON IT!!!*** and force-quit you after
the 20th repeat of a single command.

It is also considered spam to use the same phrase over several different
channels.  The use of all-caps can also be considered spam.  Only use
capitals to add emphasis to key words in a sentence.

Moving a large number of items into and out of a container in a crowded,
non-store room is considered spam.  Using multiple characters to chat the
same message at the same time is considered spam.  Making charmed mobs
or pets cause screen scroll through movement or orders is considered spam.
ANYTHING that causes excessive or irritating screen scroll can be considered
spam.

1 'SPECTRAL FUROR' 'HAND OF CHAOS'~
After the Dark Mage Thanatos accidentally discovered the spell
'Disruption' in a failed attempt to create a teleportation magic,
he spent many years studying how to increase the pain that can
be inflicted by incorrectly moving a victim across the threshold
of dimensions.

 'Spectral Furor' is a formula which, by upsetting the very nature
of the space the victim inhabits causes neural as well as brute
physical damage.

With 'Hand of Chaos,' Thanatos perfected this line of magic, and he
returned to his researches on the art of astral travel.

101 SPELLCOMPONENTS~
T###         check for item of type ###

Kword        check for item with keyword 'word'
G#####       check if player has ##### amount of gold
H####        check if player has #### amount of hitpoints

# decrease component's value[1], and extract if it reaches 0
$ decrease component's value[2], and extract if it reaches 0
% decrease component's value[3], and extract if it reaches 0
decrease component's value[4], and extract if it reaches 0
decrease component's value[5], and extract if it reaches 0
and ! will make the spell fail if the caster is carrying that component.

Example: V1100 V+1101
The spell will only succeed if the caster is carrying objects of vnums
1100 and 1101.  The object of vnum 1100 will get consumed by the spell,
and the object of vnum 1101 will not.

With the decremental operators (@#$%), the object must have at least
a value of 1 in the respective location for the spell to succeed.

0 STRENGTH STR~
Strength (STR in your 'score') represents your character's physical power.

The most common concern with strength deals with how much your character
can carry.  For each additional point of strength  you gain an additional
amount of maximum carryable weight.  Any character with 20 strength can
carry 500kgs; Warriors and Rangers can have a maximum of 25 strength, and
can therefore carry up to 999kgs when their strength is at its maximum.

Strength also affects (among other things):

 - damage roll and hitroll; for each additional point of strength, each
   of these will increase

 - chances of success for bash, stun, bashdoor, shove and drag, and the
   ability to dual-wield heavier weapons

Strength is the prime attribute of warriors and rangers.

2 TAG~
Tag!
----
Syntax: Tag Play
Syntax: Tag Score
Syntax: Tag Quit
Syntax: Tag <player>

Well, sometimes life can get boring here, so why not liven it up with a
refreshing game of Tag!

When a game has been started by an immortal it enters the joining stage.
This is when players type Tag Join to enter the game.

Tag Score shows stats on the game, such as, who is on what team, and who
is frozen, or who is active.

Tag Quit allows you to quit a game of Tag!, but be warned, it won't work
when you're frozen!

Tag <player> is used in two ways. You can tag a player on the opposite
team and freeze them in place, or you can tag a frozen player on your team
and release them back into the game!

To see how the game works see: TAGRULES
Immortals see: TAGSTARTING
~

2 TAGRULES~
The object of Tag! is to freeze all the players on the opposing team.
To do this takes teamwork, for you also have to worry about who on your
team is frozen.

When a player is frozen, all commands are suspended for them until they
are unfrozen, or until the game comes to an end.

The game is simple, yet it takes a good strategy to win. Know your teammates
and their style of play, and adjust your own style accordingly, and you
should be successful. Most importantly, have fun, that is what the game
is here for.
~

112 TAGSTARTING~
Syntax: Tag Start <prize> <prizetype>
Syntax: Tag End

Immortals should know that Tag! works very similarly to arena in the
way it is run. It has a prize given to the winning team, much like it
has a prize given to the winner of the arena.

There is no betting in Tag! and in place of the arena's betting stage
Tag! has a joining stage. Like arena the joining stage can be ended with
Tag End, and the game will move on to the playing stage.

There are currently 2 available prize types, gold, and qp. Each of these
has a maximum amount that can be given to a match, and each has a default
amount.

If you type just Tag Start, the game will default with a prize of 10000
and a prizetype of gold.

There are no limits to levels, since there is no killing going on, and
if you find any bugs, or anybody reports any bugs, please tell me (Garinan)
about them so I can get it running smoothly.

Examples
--------
Tag Start 50000 gold: each player on the winning side will be given 50000 gold.
Tag Start 200 qp: each player on the winning side will be given 200 qp.
--------
Current Maximum Prizes Are:
Gold: 10000000
QP: 1000

of their mind to pick up random debris lying around and hurl it at their
foes during battle.  Very effective even at higher levels because it offers

0 THIEF THIEVES~
The thief is a dark character which makes use of many skills often deemed
improper by the rest of society. Known to haunt the darkest roads and
alleys, the skills of the thief reflect his way of life, be it sneaking, 
with deadly backstabs. With amazing dexterity they have the ability to
circle around an enemy, but for living such a dark life, thieves have
always had a bad reputation so don't be surprised if you are always under
suspicion. Thieves start off fairly weak, but as they gain skills such as
backstab and circle they soon become dangerous foes.  A thief is always
useful when there is a lock that needs prying, or an item that one wishes
to acquire without detection.

 
Prime Attribute: dexterity
~

101 THINK ADMINTALK IMPTALK~

~

0 TICK~
Many of the actions in the Realms 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 in these Realms average 60 seconds of real time, but the
actual amount varies randomly from 45 seconds to 75 seconds.

Area resitting will not happen unless the number of mobs in the game gets
low.  Mobs and objects, however, will reset separately, so the number of
objects in the game also will not reset until it grows low.

Note that objects lying on the ground will not be regenerated if anyone is
in the area when it resets.

~

1 TIME DATE WEATHER REPORT~
Syntax: report;  Syntax: time;  Syntax: weather

This spell is usefull becuase it can save lives, or give strength to
someone that needs it.

A trigger is an action, phrase, or game event that causes a program
held within a room, mob or object, to begin playing out its commands.

Triggers can be anything from a player or mob entering a room, to a
player stating a particular phrase within a room, or to a mob or an
object.

For detailed information on triggers, see:

RPTRIGGERS, MPTRIGGERS, OPTRIGGERS
~

0 TROGLODYTE TROGLODYTES~
Primitive creatures vaguely resembling how humans theoretically may have
been at some point in ancient history.  They tend to live in caves, and have
no use for technology or magic, relying solely upon their own stone tools
and thick skulls to carry them through the day.  They tend to be very strong,
however, and fight well, for they often hunt their prey with their bare hands
and wrestle it to the ground.
~

0 'TROLLISH VIGOR' TROLLISH VIGOR~
This spell increases your stamina during its duration.
~

1 TRUE TRUESIGHT~
Syntax:  cast truesight
Syntax:  c true

Truesight confers the caster with a very brief immunity to blindness
(from attacks such as gouge or the blindness spell itself).  While
under the spell's effect, the caster continues to see.  Be warned
that when the spell wears off the caster will become blind should
the effects of the blinding attack still remain.
Truesight cannot be cast on anyone but the caster itself.
~

114 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.

1 TUMBLE~
Syntax:  operates independently

Tumble is a high-level thief skill for the evasion of incoming attacks.
The skill functions autonomically, and its effectiveness is greater for
more dexterous thieves.

~

10 TWITHDRAW~
Syntax: twithdraw <amount>

twithdraw (treasury withdraw) is a command for the administration
of a kingdom to withdraw an amount of gold from their kingdom's
treasury.
~

1 UNDERTAKER~
syntax corpse

This is basically for corpse retrieval. Pay the mob (undertaker)
to get back your corpse. Just pop into your local morgue and beg
your friendly undertaker! Bring money!
~

101 UNFOLDAREA~
Syntax:  unfoldarea <area filename>

This command will load up an area file.

NOTE:  It could be quite dangerous to unfold an area that is already
       loaded, or one that has not been tested.

~

2 UNLEASH~
Syntax: cast 'unleash' victim

This spell will unleash the powers which are lodged deep within
the caster's soul. One of the smartest mages known to far and
beyond was consumed during the making of this very spell, to never
return from the darkness inside of him.
The spell will increase the victim's speed and hitroll while
lowering the save versus spell. Thus unleashing the very essence
of true magic...
~

1 'UNRAVEL DEFENSE'~
Syntax: c 'unravel defense' <victim>

This spell renders the victim susceptible to both magic and nonmagic attacks.
~

1 UPLIFT~
Syntax:  c uplift <target>

Uplift is a cleric spell that can heal from afar, meant to be used in
aiding players with negative hitpoints.
Uplift is not to be used as your common mode of healing.  Repeatedly asking
for uplifts on public channels is spammy and annoying for other players.
Keep in mind that the clerics that are uplifting you are doing so out of
kindness.  Do _not_ abuse it or consider it a right.
~

101 USEPROG~
Syntax: opedit <object> <command> [number] [use_prog] [percentage]

The use_prog is an objtrigger that can be used in object programs.  The
use_prog will be executed when the item is used.  To define what will
trigger the use_prog, here is a list:

* Wands - when you zap
* Staves - when you brandish
* Food/pills - when you eat
* Blood/fountains/drink containers - when you drink
* Lights/armour/weapons - when you wear/wield/hold
* Potions - when you quaff
* Pipes - when you smoke

When the use_prog is executed you will not see the standard 'use message'
(ie You quaff a violet potion). What you will will be any mpechoes placed
in the program.  Also, any mobprog commands can be used in use_prog (see
MPCOMMANDS).

**NOTE** The use_progs on lights, armour, and weapons are executed BEFORE
the player wears/holds/wields any item. Therefore, a mpforce to remove the
item will not work in the use_prog.  You will have to use a wear trigger
to accomplish this.
~

112 USERS USERS2 OLDUSERS~
Syntax: users <host ip>
Syntax: users <playername>

USERS reports all of the visible users connected to the server, including users
in the process of logging in.
If used with an argument, it will show all users from that host ip.
Shortforms of host will work -- e.x. 205, or 205.113, etc.
Shortened names will also work.  e.x., users fre would show
Fredrick and Fred if they were on at the time.
The first number, (desc), is the descriptor number that this user is on.
The second number is the user's connected state.  (See CONSTATES)
The third number is the number of seconds the user has been idle.
The fourth number is the remote TCP port on the user's host machine.
Next is the user's character name, then the user's host address.
(Usually the IP number as name resolving is normally disabled.)

The FORCECLOSE command can be used to force a connect to close by its
descriptor number.

The same options are available for the OLDUSERS command.

0 VALIANCE~
This spell increases your perserverence when you are on the verge of
losing consciousness.
~

0 VAMPIRE VAMPIRES~
.
Vampires are one of the powerful creatures of the Realms.  Being a creature
of the undead, they require copious quantities of fresh blood.  Instead of
using mana, Vampires use blood points (bp) for spell casting.  If a Vampire
takes a large amount of damage, Blood points will be lost, but, Blood points
can give a small surge of hit points (hp) in battle when needed.  As a undead
creature of the night, Vampires recieve an armor class (ac) bonus at night,
a time when they can use the skill mistwalk.

See these blood gaining help files:  BLOODLET, FEED, BROACH and MISTWALK

Currently, all classes that can be choosen by the vampire race has the
four skills listed above and only a vampire can use them.  Those who are
one of those classes who are not vampires can not use those four skills.
Exceptions are Necromancers and Demons.

2 VANIR~
&r I began mudding at, I believe, 13 years old, I want to say the year 2001,
I was in 8th grade.  The first time I played was on the 'old' system, where
it required you to open a mailbox and get something out of the box (after figur
ing out how to get *out* of the house to reach said mailbox), and lemme tell u
i didn't figure it out as a level 1 newbie new to mud completly.  But weeks wen
by maybe even months and i checked the sdf.lonestar.org shell out again, and
i gave the mud a try, and by then they had reimplemented the 'stock' level 1
area, and it was much easier for me to adjust, and i played it on an oldschool
White telnet screen, b4 XP came out w/ the black cmd prompts, where it was
black text on white background, and it was AWESOME! i was instantly hooked.
Since then I went on to meet many incredible people and have incredibly fun
and awesome times, too many to count, and im happy 4 every one of them.
Now the mud is in a new age, it has been reborn, and is right now I would say
in the toddler stages.  We (the immortal staff) are all glad you have all come
to play here, and we really hope you enjoy all the contributions that all of
us have put into this mud to make it great.  It still has ongoing construction,
and is constantly in a state of development.  So live, laugh, play, and I hope
you enjoy all our hard work!
&YMy personal contributions:  Tons of development on roads, lots of changes to
stock areas, working on my own custom area(s) as of writing this, lots of
skills/spells, co-author of darkknight class.  Created about 9/10 of the
deities that you see.  I desc'd (a building term) all but I believe 2 or 3.
All this work I and others do is for you, the players, to have fun on!
~

2 VANIRREWARDS~
For my harder quests, I offer a myriad of powerful items for rewards.
You may choose one of these if I allow, or I might offer to make you
something custom (unless you WANT something from this list).

Atlantean Longsword, Emerald of Arcane Amplification, Wall of Steel,
Energy Halo, Bone Face, Dragon Scale Great Sword, Energy Cape,
Antimatter Sheath, Dragon Scale (shield), Vicious Longsword, Visage of
Eternity (eye wear), Longsword of Orichalcum, Ball of Pure Hellfire.

This list will grow as I make more equipment. Also i have purposely left
off some of the words in some of the names, as not to give too much away of
what their cool names are.  Certain items will denote the level of quest
difficulty.

rules as other channels.  No harassment, profanity, spamming, or
inappropriate subject matter.

darker and more sinister than even the most evil mage, the Warlock
is a creature of destruction. Their intelligence is keen and their

as the Mage does, theirs are often more vicious and deadly. It is not
a rare occasion that a Warlock defeats an enemy with a single casting.

magic and limited skills he is nevertheless a formidable force with which
to be reckoned.  Warriors learn no magic, and have no use for mana.

Prime Attribute: strength

101 WATCH~
. &w
&W Syntax: &G watch                  &W Shows you a help screen
&W Syntax: &G watch size             &W Shows the size of your watch file
&W Syntax: &G watch clear            &W Deletes your watch file
&W Syntax: &G watch show             &W Shows all your active watches
&W Syntax: &G watch player <name>    &W Starts watching a player
&W Syntax: &G watch site <site>      &W Starts watching all players from site
&W Syntax: &G watch delete <number>  &W Stops a watch
&W Syntax: &G watch print 1          &W Shows file starting at line 1
&W Syntax: &G watch print 500        &W Shows file starting at line 500
&W Syntax: &G watch print 500 100    &W Shows 100 lines starting at line 500

Watch will work 24 hours a day from the time you put a watch on a player until
you take it off. You can also watch all players from a specific site.

We need you to be real careful about the size of your watch file. If you
are watching a number of players or sites, please do not just forget about
your watches and allow your watch file to grow to outrageous sizes. You
should never have more than 5,000 or 10,000 lines in your watch file.
If you are doing some watching, be sure you check your watch file daily
and either print it, display it, copy it to your hard drive or do whatever
you need to do with it but then ... please ... please ... be sure you
clear it so that it don't grow huge and eat up all our hard drive space.
If you clear your watch file daily ... there should be no problem. If you
aren't watching anyone ... you don't have to worry about this. But if you
start a watch, it is your responsibility to know how big your watch file
is and to stop the watch when you no longer need it. The command
&G"watch size" &W tells you how many lines are in your watch file.
The command &G"watch clear"&W clears (deletes) your watch file.
For the time being the maximum number of lines you can display at one time
is 1000. So ... even if you have 5,000 lines in your watch file ... you can
only display 1,000 at a time.

1 WEAPONS~
Weapons are the primary source of fighting power for most classes,
especially at lower levels where other skills and spells remain
unlearned. To use a weapon, simply 'wield <weapon name>'. You will
hit more frequently with a weapon which is suited to your class, so
choose your weapon wisely. For instance, mages use short blades at 95%
efficiency. A mage wielding a long blade would hit his/her target less
frequently, dependant upon the hitroll of the weapon in hand. Also, be
sure to practice and adept your favored weapontype for best results.
~

101 WEAPONTYPES~
For items of type "weapon", the value3 field specifies the weapon type:

Value3 | Type     | Weapons     | Skill
-------------------------------------------------------------

The webserver is a bit of code which allows certain features of the MUD
to be accesed via the internet.

Host - The address of the server.
Port - The port set for the webserver to operate on.
Function - An ability the webserver has to show information.

Functions:
default - Do not enter a function, this will show you the index.
arealist - Shows all the loaded, non-prototype areas on the MUD.
help - Allows access to the MUD's helpfiles, level 100 and lower.
immlist - Shows the administrative staff and email addresses.

102 WEIGHT HEIGHT~
To change the measurments of a player (not mobs), use these commands:

mset <victim> weight <weight in pounds>
mset <victim> height <in inches>

Lets use an example.  In real life I (Yakkov) am 5' 10" and weigh 280 pounds.
So, I would MSET my character this way:

mset Yakkov weight 280
mset Yakkov height 70
save

(You can use SELF instead of your name, if you are editing yourself.)

VALUE     WEIGHT     WEIGHT

MINIMUM   10 lbs.    0' 10"
MAXIMUM   500 lbs.   8' 4"

If you want a MOB to look like a PLAYER (a trick of the eye), think of some
realistic heights and weights and add them to a MOB description.  Just like
if you look at a player.  Make it look identical.

See MSET
~

10 WELCOME~
Syntax: welcome <player>

Functions much like induct would in a clan. Welcomes a player into
your kingdom.
~

0 WEREWOLF WEREWOLVES~
In the light of the full moon it is said some men turn into beasts and
prowl the night who otherwise appear to be human by day.  But those are the
legends of other lands, lands where magic is less real, for the truth of
werewolves may be far more terriflying.  They hunt the night and call to
the moon and stars, their talons and fangs razorsharp and their vision
unmatched by any human.  None, it is said, can stop a werewolf stalking its
prey, for their sense of scent is very sensitive and they are capable of
tracking trails any human would miss.
~

0 WHERE~

but it cannot exceed about 75% of your maximum hitpoints.

'Wimpy max' sets your wimpy at its maximum level for you.

Some monsters are wimpy.

code without too much difficulty.

---------=[ Additional Immortal Information ]=---------

110 WIZINDUCT~
Syntax: wizinduct <clan|outcast> <player>

This command is used to place and outcast a layer in a clan/order without
having to mset and then setclan to make record of it.
~

102 WIZINVIS~
All immortals have the responsibility to be available to others whenever
possible, be they mortal or immortal.  When the use of wizinvis is called
for, the following are parameters for its use:

 - Immortals level 51 through 54 should be visible at all times, save
   for when snooping, running a quest or some similar circumstance.

 - Immortals level 55 and up may invis to any level at their discretion.

Guidelines for use of wizinvis by 55 and higher:
It is considered mandatory to be visible to all other immortals whenever
reasonably able to do so.  Using wizinvis beyond 51 to facilitate work on
a project, allow concentration on something, avoid excessive tells or the
like is fine, but it should only be used while necessary.

Guidelines for use of wizinvis beyond 51 in immortal channels:
Sightings of Someones in immortal channels should be kept to a minimum.
If you are free enough to be able to use an immortal channel, you should
be visible to the lowest immortal in that channel; no higher than 54 in
Muse, no higher than 51 in immtalk, etc.  Being a Someone to anyone on
an immortal channel should only occur if you're too tied up to go
visible but need to make a comment.

The same applies to all situations using channels, tells or actions.
Avoid being a Someone to mortals and immortals alike unless you have
a good reason to do otherwise.

0 'WORD OF RECALL'~

This spell will recall the caster to his or her home sanctuary.

-1 _DIEMSG_~
.&z&r...A curtain of red washes over you, as a curtain of blood, then all
begins to grow still, and silence takes you.

 &z&WA void of darkness and light surrounds you, darkness and light each
vying for possession of your soul.

But then you feel yourself being pulled by an inexorable force, and know
that this is not the end, as you open your eyes again you find yourself
naked, reincarnated in a new body.

51 eternity~
This area is a city populated by necromancers and the undead, it is
designed to be connected to a forrest area from the vnums 32000
and 32016. The are a couple of multi av mobs in here that have
been set with the prototype flag to allow them to be customized to
different muds. There are quite a few mprogs that all hopefully work,
some may need tweaking.~

0 icyplains~
The Icy Plains of the North-- By Aragon (aragon127@hotmail.com)
written July 1999 for Snowden's Revenge - snowden.wolfpaw.net

This area constitutes a goal of mine to write a very large and very intricate
area. It is full of hidden things, tricks puzzles and tests of might and
intelligence. Enjoy.

The plains of the north are a cold, icy realm on the far north side of the world.
Within the icy realms that the plains cover are many very different dungeons and
castles, caverns, villages and more (if you look close enough you may even find
a hidden area or 2 within the area ;p) The plains are open to anyone level 30
and up, however to tread the entire plains a powerful avatar may be need. As
mentioned before there are many hidden items and areas. To obtain the biggest
and best prizes in this area, you're gonna have to use your mind as well as your
sword and you're gonna have to LOOK AT EVERYTHING!!! This is not a hack and slash
area, even if it appears to be at times, it's a front, beneath the skin of this
hack and slash realms lies a true role playing area and one only the most astute
mudders will be able to conquer.
