ABSORB_DISEASE

ABSORB DISEASE
Level            : Psionicist 35 
Power Score      : CON -3
Initial Cost     : 12
Maintenance Cost : N/A

This power lets the psionicist take the disease from another person's body
and absorb it into himself.  Presumably, the psionicist will then heal
himself (using complete healing or other means).

A side affect of the spell is that the disease is transmuted into poison
when it enters the psionicist's body, which also prevents the disease from
continuing to spread.

ABSORB_MANA

ABSORB MANA
Level        : Sorcerer 39
Usage        : cast 'absorb mana'
Duration     : Instantaneous

More a learned ability then a spell, the sorcerer can use this spell once per
day as an emergency method of replenishing her mana when in need.  When cast, 
the spell draws on the mana pool of the room as if the sorcerer suddenly
regened all her mana at once.  The only limit is the available mana in the
areas mana pool.

This spell is granted once every mud day (24 ticks).  You are only granted
this spell once at a time.

AC

AC
"AC" is your armor class.  It is a number from -10 to 10, roughly defined
as follows:


  AC  Roughly equivalent to
-----------------------------------------------------------
  100  Naked person
    0  Very Heavily armored (Plate mail, and "two shields") 
 -100  Armored battle tank

The score command displays your armor class as a number such as 78/10; this
means 78 on a scale from -100 to 100 (i.e., 7.8 on the scale from -10 to
10). Thus, improving your AC by 2 would mean lowering your armor class by
20 points. That's good .

ACCOUNTS

ACCOUNTS
ACCOUNTS are a great way of managing multiple characters.  The basics of
an account allow you to login to the mud and get a listing of all of your
multis.  On top of that you can login to the game with your multi without
having to enter additional passwords.  You are also able to get a list of
all your characters, keeping you from forgetting who your AntiPaladin is.

Another advantage of an account are shared bank accounts.  Money deposited
into your characters bank account is automatically put into a centralized
account so that all of your multis can draw upon it.

Quest points are not currently shared in this manner.  This is will change.

You can keep a different password on your characters then on your account.
This allows you to let other people login with your character (should you
choose to share your character, please keep the character sharing policy in
mind) without allowing them access to your other characters through your
account.  In fact, this allows added protection against some jerk changing
your password because you can always access that character through your
account without needing the password, then go the the character menu and
reset your password.

A character can only be tied to one account at a time.  If you sell or
otherise give away a character, you need to un-attach that character from
your account.  

Using an account is not required.  Without one, game play is as normal.

If you do not login a character through the account it is attached to, it
does not receive the account "advantages".  Any gold deposited into the
bank, or questpoints obtained stay with that character until next time it 
is logged in through your account, at which time they are automatically 
transferred to your account.  This is an added safety measure to protect 
you should you choose to share a character.

We are open to ideas for other benefits to using your characters through
this system.

To login with your account, or to create a new one, place a * (asterisk) 
before your account name.  Account names can be the same as your character 
name, or they can be something totally different.  Account names are
limited to a-z and no more then 20 characters long.

Example:  To login with the account "Alucard", you would type "*Alucard" at 
the login screen, then enter your account password.

ADMIN_CLAN_COMMAND

ADMIN CLAN COMMAND
A quick note on the admin clan options to the clan command.

create, delete, name, adminpromote, maxrank, ranks, applevel.

CREATE       : "clan create <clanname>" to create a clan.
DELETE       : "clan delete <clanname> delete" to delete a clan.
NAME         : "clan name <oldname> <newname>" to rename a clan.
APPLEVEL     : "clan <clanname> <applevel>" The minimum level someone must be
             : to join a clan.  Right now this is admin only, and although
	       you have to specify a clan, it will update ALL clans.
	       This leave the possibility open for clans to be able to set
	       their own min levels.
ADMINPROMOTE : "clan adminpromote <member>" to promote someone within a clan.
               This was necessary instead of letting admin use the normal
	       promote command.
MAXRANK      : "clan maxrank <clanname> <maxrank>"  This is used to change
               the number of 'ranks' a clan has.  This must be at least 2,
	       and right now the limit is set to 8, but the could be increased
	       if the need arises (this is arbatrary, just to keep it from
	       getting out of control).
RANKS        : "clan ranks <clanname> <namelist>"  This command is to set
               the NAMES of each rank.  Each rank name can consist of only
	       one word, but _'s should be fine.  The <namelist> starts with
	       the lowest rank first, leading to the highest rank.  If you
	       don't specify enough names for each rank, or too many, it will
	       fail without changing anything.
	       
	       The rank of Applicant cannot be changed.  When you change ranks
	       around, don't consider this a real rank.  Clans technically
	       start with 2 ranks (Member,Leader) + Applicant.  This name
	       cannot be changed (don't ask to be unless you're willing to
	       pay me real money) ;).

Other commands that admin can use:

list, info, who, demote, addleader, delleader, expel.

When using demote, addleader, delleader, or expel, you do not need to
specify what clan you are affecting, just the member's name as if you were
the leader of that clan.

If you have any trouble doing ANYTHING clan related, do a viewlog CLANERR
That should give you a pretty decent error.  If nothing else, it's something
you can report to Brazil :)

ADRENALINE_CONTROL

ADRENALINE CONTROL
Level              : Psionicist 22
Power Score        : CON -3
Initial Cost       : 8
Maintenance Cost   : 8

By controlling the production and release of adrenalin in his system, the
psionicist can give himself temporary physical boosts on demand.  When he
increases his adrenalin, the caster gains up to 6 points (level/13)+1,
which are spread across strength, dexterity, and constitution (in that
order), enjoying all the normal bonuses for higher stats.

ADRENALIZE

ADRENALIZE
Level       : Warrior 34
Usage       : adrenalize
Duration    : (Level/10)+2

A real warrior knows how to control the flow of adrenaline in times of
need.  This skill allows him to do just that.  The flow doesn't last for
long, and takes a lot out of the warrior.  The affect is 1 to 3 additional 
Damroll, based on level.

ALIASES

ALIASES
Usage : alias <alias name> <command>

An alias is a single command used to represent one or more other commands.
The ALIAS command can be used to manipulate your character's aliases.  Type
ALIAS alone to see a list of your currently defined aliases.

Type ALIAS <alias name> <command> to create a new alias.  The alias name
must be one word.  The command can be any string.  Aliases may not be
nested or used recursively.  Any command may be overridden by an alias
(other than the ALIAS command itself, of course).

  > alias gbb get bread bag
  > alias gac get all corpse

Type ALIAS <alias name> to delete an alias that has already been defined.

  > alias gbb

A semicolon (";") can be used to define multiple actions to be taken with
a single alias.

  > alias eat get bread bag; eat bread

Note that the 'eat' contained within the eat alias is interpreted as the
MUD's internal eat command; aliases may not be nested or used recursively.
 The variables $1, $2, ... $9 may be used to represent arguments given with
an alias.

Examples:

  > alias killem cast 'fireball' $1; cast 'harm' $2
  > killem fido mage

Would cast fireball on fido, followed by casting harm on mage.  Variables
may be used repeatedly and in any order:

  > alias helpem cast 'heal' $1; cast 'bless' $1; cast 'armor' $1

The special variable $* represents the entire input line after an alias:

  > alias tr tell rasmussen $*
  > tr hi there, how are you today?
  You tell Rasmussen, 'hi there, how are you today?'

Typing "ALIAS DEFAULT" will set your aliases to a few premade aliases

else from wearing it.

BAZAAR

BAZAAR
Usage: bazaar <item> <price>

Do you have an item you would like to sell?  A huge stack of haste scrolls 
you wouldn't mind making a little gold back on?

Take your wares to one of the shops in the Bazaar!  Within a few minutes of 
your item(s) selling, you will receive a mudmail with your gold.  It's as 
simple as that.

Bazaar's work like regular shops, except players use the BAZAAR command to 
add items they want to sell, and specify the price required.

More than one person can sell the same item at a shop, and each person can 
specify a different price for that item.  Using the extended syntax of the 
BUY command to specify which item the consumer wishes to purchase, they
will of course buy the cheapest item.  If they are all the same price, the 
shopkeeper will sell whichever item is most handy.

If you want to cancel any of your sales, you will have to cancel all your 
sales at the bazaar shop, with the CANCEL command.  You will have to type 
"cancel" twice, to verify that that is what you want to do, and your items 
will be returned to you.

Shopkeepers that sell your items will take a 50 coin handling fee when you 
put your item up for sale.

they get special bonuses to damage, however since the barbarian is not
in his right minds so he might not hit as well.

BUILD

BUILD
The build command is used for the owner of housing to make modifications 
and expansions on their own.  Only the owner can make the modifications, 
and each change will cost gold.

Different options to the build command include:

       build room create <direction>
       build room name <new room name>
       build room storage
       build room storelog
       build room desc (you are then dropped into the editor)
       build room hometown <adril|skara|nt> <direction>
       build room door <direction> <keyword>
       build object list
       build object buy <number>
       build addguest
       build prices

The options started with rooms because those are the most common changes
players request.  Now some objects may be purchased (but not yet
customized).  Other options are to follow (shop, mob, recall device/mob
perhaps, etc)... all in good time, and depending on demand.

STORAGE will add a STORE flag to the room you are currently in.
STORELOG will add a STORELOG flag to the room you are in.  This is
    viewable by typing "store log"
NAME is used to change the name of the room.
DESC will start you editing the room description.  If you abort the 
    editing, you will not be charged, but each time you save the room 
    description, it will cost you, so make sure you get it right the 
    first time.
DOOR will turn an exit into a closable door.  Specify the direction, and
    keyword for the door (be it "door", "gate", whatever you like, but you
    only get one word).

The HOMETOWN option is used to create an exit to a hometown from the room
    you are currently in.  You must choose a direction where there is no 
    exit from the room you are currently in.

The CREATE option creates a new room connected in the direction you 
specify.  This is the most expensive option, so type your exit 
carefully.  If you need corrections made by someone in charge of housing, 
it will cost you.

For HOMETOWN and CREATE, the exits are specified as n, s, e, w, nw, sw, 
ne, se, up, and yes, even down.

ADDGUEST will add an additional guest slot.  Currently there is no cap for
    the number of guest slots you can add, but we reserve to enforce a
    limit later if we decide it becomes a problem for whatever reason.

The OBJECT section deals with buying objects to sit in your room.  For
example, an ATM, or a fountain.  Type "build object list" to see the list
of available items, and their cost.  When buying, use the corresponding
number on the left side of the item name.  For example, an ATM may be
80500, so you would type "build object buy 80500" and an ATM will be copied
to your housing and made to load in the room you are currently in.

If you no longer want the item to load, or you pick an incorrect object,
you will need to submit with the REQUEST command, and pay to have it removed.

Typing "build prices" will show you the current prices of each thing.  
Prices are cheaper then putting in a request for us to do it for you,
usually even if you have to go back and spend more money to fix a typo or
change a description again.

CHANNEL

CHANNEL
A dynamic channel is a channel that is created 'on the fly'.  You decide
what command it will be (it can't be an existing mud command), what color
it is, and who can use it.  Created channels last for one hour, and will
continue to exist even after the creator logs off.


To create a channel, use the command 'channel'.

Example:

channel create private red

This will create a new channel called private, and the text will be the
color red.  Then a 'temp' command is created called 'private' that you will
use to talk on the channel.  (Sorry, the command can't be abbreviated).

If you want to allow people to see the channel, you type the channel name,
then a + then their name.

Example:

private +roger

Now roger can see and talk on the private channel.  By the same method, you
can also remove people form the channel

private -roger

Now roger cannot see it any longer.

private *        This will give a list, to the creator of the channel, of
                 all who are able to use the channel.


private  (with no arguments, this will toggle the channel on/off without
          completly loosing access to it.  Much like typing NOGOSSIP)

Valid colors are: red, green, cyan, yellow, blue, magenta

the stronger the shield.  The shield is very important against damage to 
the caster and the group (if it is the case).  The side effects of Chaos 
are identical to fission bomb: blindness, poison and even death.

CircleMUD was developed from DikuMUD (Gamma 0.0) by Jeremy "Ras" Elson at
Johns Hopkins University's Department of Computer Science.  All code unique
to CircleMUD is protected under a copyright by the Trustees of the Johns
Hopkins University.

Many, many people contributed to CircleMUD in one way or another throughout
the course of its development.  Although it's impossible for me to remember
them all, I'd like to extend special thanks to certain people:

  -- Jeff Fink, for submitting a veritable mountain of excellent code.
  -- Chris Epler and Chris Herringshaw for extensive beta-testing and bug
     reporting.
  -- Furry (Alex Fletcher), for single-handedly managing Circle's world 
     files.
  -- Fred Merkel, Ryan Watkins, Jay Levino, and Sharon Goza, for other
     code and area submissions.
  -- Jean-Jack Riethoven for porting the code to the Amiga, and David 
     Carver for porting it to OS/2.
  -- Bill Bogstad and Tim Stearns for allowing Circle to exist at JHU.
  -- The DikuMUD folk, and the good old WhatMUD implementors Dave Justin,
     for starting the ball rolling.

  -- Bryan Jolson, Steven Lacher, Cat Stanton, and Naved Surve, for being 
     there in the very early days of Circle's development.
  -- And, of course, Sharon, Ben, Erica, Aly, and Josh, for keeping me 
     sane.

...plus everyone else in the Circle community who has submitted material!
Thanks everyone!

CLAN_COMMAND

CLAN COMMAND
The clan command is the main engine behind clans.  This is how people apply
to a clan, get promoted, deposit gold into the clan treasury, etc, etc.
Without this, leaders might as well keep track of their members with a piece
of paper.

Basic options to non-clan-members are:

list, apply, info, who.

LIST  : This lists all clans.
APPLY : "Clan apply <clanname>" if you want to apply to a clan.
INFO  : "clan info <clanname>"  This gives some basic info on a clan.  Number 
        of members, etc, and displays their 'plan'.
WHO   : "clan who <clanname>" will list everyone that is a member or applicant
        to the specified clan, as well as their rank.

Member options:

deposit, resign.

DEPOSIT : This is used for depositing money into the clan treasury (Only
           leaders may withdraw gold).
RESIGN   : If you no longer choose to be a member of a clan, you may resign
           by typing "clan resign resign".

Leader options:

withdraw, promote, demote, addleader, delleader, appfee, expel, plan.

WITHDRAW : Used to withdraw gold from the clan treasury.
PROMOTE  : Will promote another clan member.
DEMOTE   : Will demote another clan member.
ADDLEADER: Makes a member a 'true' leader (gives access to the leader
           commands)
DELLEADER: Removes a members access to leader commands.
APPFEE   : Sets the application fee for entering the clan.
EXPEL    : Kicks a member out of the clan.
PLAN     : Set the clan plan (general info about the clan, limited to 8k
           characters)

Important information on leaders.  A member can be any rank in the clan,
including the highest rank, and still not be a leader.  In order for a
member to have access to use the leader commands, a leader must give them
access to them with the 'addleader' command.  A member of any rank can have
access to the leader commands, but they cannot promote/demote/expel someone
of a higher rank then they are.

CLANS

CLANS
The following is a help file containing the specifics on clans 
here at AddictMUD.

1: What is a Clan?
2: How do I start a Clan?
3: What fee's apply?
4: How do I add on to my Clan castle?
5: How does a clan get warnings? How can they harm the clan?
6: What can cause a Clan to be removed from AddictMUD?

1 - What is a Clan?

  A good way to think about Clans,  is to think about a close family of
mudders that stick by each other, and help their fellow clannie along in
their life here at Addict. Clans can consist of a max # of 30 players.
Clans have a founder/leader, and other ranks of command following.

2 - How do I start a Clan?

  To start a Clan the first thing you need to do is save save save.  Save
25 Million gold coins, and mudmail Brazil letting him know you are
interested in starting a Clan. In the mudmail you need to include the name
of your Clan, and the ranks you would like your clan to contain. The ranks
need to be in order from the greatest to the lowest, with a minimum of 2
and a max of 6. After this info is submitted it will be reviewed.   Then
the immortal staff will devise a quest for you to complete in order to 
earn your clan it's rightful status in the world, provided you and your 
fellow future clan mates completed it within the given time.

  A new clan will receive a clan hall with three starter rooms, which will
all be flagged as storage rooms.

Be warned,..if you do not complete the quest in the given time, you will
not be reimbursed your 25 Mil, nor will you be able to apply for a Clan 
for a period of one month. To start a clan you need to have at least three
followers that are interested in joining the Clan with you (multi's do not
count).

3 - What fee's apply?

  25 Mil to get a clan going.

4 - How do I add on to my Clan castle?

  Rooms are purchased with the BUILD command.  Gold is taken from the clan
treasury to pay the fees involved.  Only clan leaders have access to do 
so. Anything not handled by the BUILD command is to be asked for view the
REQUEST command, just like a standard player house.

5 - How does a Clan get warnings? How can they harm the Clan?

  If anyone in your Clan gets a warning, your Clan is marked with that
warning as well.  Once a clan is marked with 3 warnings it is up for being
disbanded.   All situations are considered on a case-by-case basis,
including who the offender(s) are, and the situation involved.

6 - What can cause a Clan to be removed from AddictMUD?

  If a Clan exceeds their 3 warnings (See 5) its byebye for the Clan.
If the founder/leader is frozen or banned its byebye as well.

  Keeping in line with the POLICY HOUSING, if no leader of a clan is 
around much for the span of a year, the clan will be disbanded, and the 
clan hall liquidated (deleted).

  If the leader of a Clan appears to be leaving Addict and they fail to
pass over the throne of command to a clan-mate the clan and all items
within will be nuked to a crisp after a certain period of time.

Any other questions in the Clan-Department can be directed to Brazil. 
Mudmail is always preferred.

CLEAN

CLEAN
A CLEAN (or PLAYERFILE CLEAN) is when old characters are removed from the
playerfile.  The definition of "OLD" is determined based on each characters
level.

File cleaning is not currently enforced while we re-evaluate things.  The 
class system has change so level restrictions are harder to enforce.

A level 0 character (never entered the game), is removed after 48 hours.

Level one characters are purged after one year.

If you rented at a CRYOGENECIST, or LONG TERM RENTAL place, your character
will be saved for 365 days, regardless of level.

Currently, no other character cleaning is in place.  This could change at
any time, so please keep that in mind when you are on extended leave.

If you know ahead of time that you will be on extended leave, please let
one of the immortal staff know (and when you might be back), we are willing
make arrangements to not have your character cleaned for a much longer 
period.

tradition often makes way for progress, and more and more wield swords and 
other such weapons.  This class gives you the wisdom of peace, blessing and

COLOR

COLOR
Usage: color [off | sparse | normal | complete]

If you have a color-capable terminal and wish to see useful color-coding
of information, use the COLOR command to set the level of coloring you see.

  > color off
  This command disables all color.

  > color sparse
  > color normal
  > color complete

These three commands turn color on to various levels.  Experiment to see
which level suits your personal taste.

'color' with no argument will display your current color level.

Using color will slow down the speed at which you see messages VERY slightly.
The effect is more noticeable on slower connections.  Even if you have
color turned on, non-colorized messages will not be slowed down at all.

COLOR_CODES

COLOR CODES
Addict now has the ability to set specific colors in titles, channels, 
room descriptions, on object, on mobs, etc etc etc etc etc.

Note that excessive abuse of this will annoy the Imm's, and will be dealt
with by having color turned off for all players for a short period of 
time.

Basically how its done is this : to set your title in all blue, you would
type 

tit bI want a blue titlen

Whats going on here is that the b changes your color to blue, and the 
n returns the mud to normal colors.  If you dont end with n, you 
will 'bleed' into the next displayed lines for everyone who sees your 
colors, and you'll annoy them.  Make sure to use n! Also, dont put 
spaces after your codes or before them at the end of a line.  It will put 
an extra space in and it wont look like you want it to.

Below are the codes for all the colors and special effects you can do with
our new colors.  NOTE to builders :  ANY areas containing color in mobs,
objects or room descriptions MUST be OK'd by the an immortal FIRST.

DAMAGE_DICE

DAMAGE DICE
Many things in the MUD use the concept of Dice Rolls to determine 
damage.  The most common place to see this is on the statistics of a 
weapon.

It is commonly displayed as XdY.

The value of X is the number of dice used (or the number of rolls of a 
singular die).

The value of Y is the size of the die (how many "sides" the die would 
have.

Damage values would be as follows:

Minimum Damage: X (the value of each dice roll being a 1)
Maximum Damage: X * Y (the value of each dice rolled being the maximum 
amount possible)
Average Damage: X * (Y+1)/2

A few examples:

5d5:  Minimum Damage = 5; Maximum Damage = 25; Average Damage = 15
10d2: Minimum Damage = 10; Maximum Damage = 20; Average Damage = 15

1d12: Minimum Damage = 1; Maximum Damage = 12; Average Damage = 6.5
12d1: Minimum Damage = 12; Maximum Damage = 12; Avergae Damage = 12

DAMAGE_ENHANCE

DAMAGE ENHANCE
Not to be confused with the "enhanced damage" affect, eq that gives

The amount drained is based on how high your "dam enhance" value is, thus 
increasing damage.

DAMROLL

DAMROLL
Damroll is a measure of skill in combat, and the ability to hit opponents in 
their most vulnerable spots.  Higher damrolls allow players and mobs to do
more damage to their opponents.  Damroll can be affected by spells, as well
as equipment with the Damroll flag.  There is no minimum or maximum value for
damroll, and its natural value is always 0.

Once this skill is enabled, simply 'look DIR' and you will get a idea if
that direction is safe.  NOTE: This skill does not allow you to see TIMED
(or teleport) DT's. IF the room in the direction looked at IS the DT then
you will know, otherwise you will not.

DARKKNIGHT

DARKKNIGHT
The DarkKnight is a "sub-class".  Becoming a DarkKnight will not change
your current class.  Instead, it will give you additional benefits (with
some penalties of course).

The DarkKnight has it's own experience table, but it is different than a
traditional class.  Because of it's evil nature, levels are gained by the
number of kills you make.

The pro's of becoming a DarkKnight are the additional skills (viewable by
typing "guilds darkknight"), and there is a +5HP and +5Mana per DarkKnight
level bonus added to your stats.  They also enjoy a HP regen bonus of 30%.

Your new evil ways do not go without penalty.  They receive a 10% penalty
to mana regen.

To become a DarkKnight, you must have a natural CONSTITUTION score of at
least 15, and you must complete a quest, given to you at the DarkKnight's
Temple.

DEATH_FIELD

DEATH FIELD
Usage            : cast 'death field' <hp spend>
Power Score      : CON - 8
Initial Cost     : 40
Maintenance Cost : Instantaneous

  Death field is a life sapping region of negative energy.  A Successful
death field takes its toll on everyone (not grouped with the psionicist),
including the psionicist.  Anyone not making a successful save vs spell
receives damage in the amount of hp the psionicist spends.

As a result, your alignment also drops every time you cast this power.
i.e. a psionicist casts "cast 'death field' 80", anyone in the room not
grouped with the psionicists that fails a save vs. spell receives 80 
damage.
You cannot spend more then you have, and you must leave yourself at least 
5 hit points.

NOTE:  Like any spell, this does not affect other players when pkill is
turned off.

DEATH_PACT

DEATH PACT
Usage        : cast 'death pact' <target>
Accumulative : N/A
Duration     : Instantaneous

A powerful healing spell considered useful in dire circumstances.  The
spell will drain all the remaining mana from the caster, to heal the 
target to full health.  If the caster has 275 mana, the victim will be 
healed up to full health or 275 hit points, whichever is lower.  The 
excess mana spent is lost.

At the same time, this triggers a massive mana regen affect.  The caster
will regen an additional 6 mana per pulse, and a pulse will be shortened 
to one second.  The affect is short, but the healer will quickly regen a 
lot of mana.

Death Pact is granted to the caster by their deity, therefore can only be
cast a limited number of times per day.

DEATH_TRAP

DEATH TRAP
Death Traps, also know as DTs, are designed to prevent foolhardy
exploration of the mud. We have tried to make all of the DTs on this mud
clearly marked such that if you attend to the room descriptions, you will
not fall victim (this is *NOT* a promise that ALL DT's are so well marked).  

DT's in the past would remove all your equipment in one shot, and leave you
high and dry.  AddictMUD DT's are a little different.  You are trapped in
the room for a small amount of time.  During this time, you cannot move,
talk, etc, or be summoned out.

If you hit a DT, you do not lose anything.  All of your items are retained.
 Neither do you lose your gold, experience points, or hit points.  The best
way to avoid DTs is to watch where you are going -- when you're in an area
that you're not familiar with, make sure to read the room descriptions and
don't wander aimlessly, check exits before moving, and heed warnings such
as "East - CRUSHED" (although not all warnings will be this blatantly
obvious.)

DELAY

DELAY
Syntax:
delay <time to delay> <target for command> <command for target to execute>
ps
qkill <job number>

There is a new queue system on AddictMUD.  What this means is that you
can enter commands into the queue for execution at a later time.  To view
what is currently in the queue, type PS.  To enter a command into the
queue, the DELAY command is used.  You can enter NEARLY ANY TYPE of
command to be executed.  The <time to delay> argument is the time in real
seconds.  To kill a job in the queue, use PS to find the job number, and
then use QKILL and the job number to kill it.

Example:

>delay 20 swordmaster gos This is a test of the Queue
--This will cause the first instance of 'swordmaster' to gossip, "This is a
test of the Queue" 20 seconds from now.
>ps
--Find your job in the queue list. Note the job number.
>qkill 5
--Kill job 5 in the queue.

  Due to the nature of this command, any abuse of the command queue will
  NOT be tolerated, and will result in the removal of the command
  privelages at the least.

you will receive an "essence of damroll" that you can then inset into an
insetable item.

  You cannot disassemble objects with a LIMITED flag, or a min level greater 
than 65.

  The Average Joe has about a 50% chance of being successful.  This check is
run individually for each apply on the item.

  Thieves receive a DISASSEMBLE skill at level 30.  This increases the chances
of success based on how practices the skill is, modified by the thief's
dexterity.  Make sure you practice the skill once you receive it or you will
have a base chance of success of 0%.

DWARF

DWARF
Dwarves are short, stocky fellows, easily identified by their size and
shape.  They average 4 to 4 1/2 feet tall.  They have ruddy cheeks, dark
eyes, and dark hair.  They are given to hard work, and care little for
most humor.  They are strong and brave, but have a great love for beer,
ale, mead and even stronger drink.

More adept in battle and brute force, they are given higher strength
damage bonuses than any other race.  They also have higher hit point
bonuses on level.

Since dwarves are less inclined to use magic, they gain less mana than any
other race.  While a dwarven cleric is possible, they will have less mana
to draw on for their spells.

Dwarves get perm-infravision at level 1.

The dwarven affinity with the earth allows them to be more aware of changes
in the ground.  With that, they are able to detect when something has been
buried in a room.

ELF

ELF
  Elves tend to be somewhat taller and slimmer than humans.  Their 
features are finely chiseled and delicate, and they speak in melodic 
tones. Although they appear fragile and weak, as a race they are quick 
and strong. Elves often live to be over 1,200 years old, although long 
before this time they feel compelled to depart the realms of men and 
mortals.

  Elves are often considered frivolous and aloof.  In fact, they are not,
although humans often find their personalities impossible to fathom.  They
concern themselves with natural beauty, dancing and frolicking, playing 
and singing, unless necessity dictates otherwise.  They have little love 
for dwarves, and hate the evil denizens of the woods.

  Elves are also given to stronger magical powers, but less geared for
direct combat.  As a result, they gain less hit points than other races, 
but their mana increases at a higher rate, giving them the ability to 
cast more spells than other races.

Elves get perm-sense life at level 1.

Usage        : cast 'enchant armor' <target>

You may cast this spell on an item with the ARMOR flag.  The enchant will
cause the armor to further reduce the wearers AC, as well as improve

Be warned, the alignment of the caster can adversly affect the alignment 
of the armor.  A GOOD aligned caster will cause the armor to be !EVIL.  An
EVIL caster will cause the armor to become !GOOD.  Only a NEUTRAL caster
will prevent an alignment restriction from being added to the armor.

The item must not have a MAGIC flag, and must have no applies.

When cast, you have the chance of an additional AFFECT on the armor.  The
affect is random (Sanctuary, Detect Invis, among others more and less
desirable).  When using an enchant orb, the higher the chance to imbue the
item with SANCTUARY or ENHANCE DAMAGE.

Forums are a new message system designed to be highly expandable.  There is
no limit to the number of forums that can exist, and no limit to the number
of messages within them.

The top of the forum 'tree' can contain other forums, and messages.
You enter a forum by typing "forum enter <name>", so if you wanted to enter
the Ideas forum, you would type "forum enter ideas".  If you want to leave
that forum, you can type "forum exit" to bring you back to the forum you
were just in.  "forum top" will bring you out of every forum, back to the

forum.  'forum enter 5' will take you to the forum that has the idnum of 5,
regardless of your current forum.  (Get the idnum from 'forum tree').

To post a message, you would type "forum post <subject>" and then the
editor will start for you to write a message.

To see a list of forums, type "forum list".  On the left side of the forum
name is the number of messages in that forum, but this does not include sub
forums. If the forum contains messages that you have not read, the message
count will be green.

To see a list of all forums, and their sub-forums, type 'forum tree'.  You
will see the idnum of the forum on the right, and how many messages it
contains on the left.  If the forum contains messages that you have not
read, the message count will be green.

FROZEN
Being frozen sucks.  You cannot use any commands.  Your character is put on
ice, it cannot be deleted, cannot be played.  It's basically rendered a
waste of space.

The night after being frozen, that characters rent file and aliases are
deleted, so all the equipment is gone and is not recoverable.  We also will
dismantle any house owned by the frozen character and delete the storage.

This is a punishment delt by the immortals when a character has broken too
many policies, or even a single policy, depending on what the offense
actually is.

Type POLICY for a general list of policies of AddictMUD.  We do not accept
ignorance of policy as an excuse.

GRANTS

GRANTS
GRANTS, or GRANTED SPELLS, are spells that are given to the caster by some
other worldly entity, or are limited in use by other forces, internal to
the caster (or external).  Be it a God, Daemon, or some other Dark or
Divine force, once a caster has the ability to cast a granted spell the
number of times a spellcaster is allowed to use the spell is determined by
the entity or force (or physical/spiritual limitation of the caster) that
grants it.

In essence, such spells are dropped into a casters head to allow casting
periodically.  Over time the spells just "appear" in your head.

Such spells appear in your practice list with #'s around where the mana 
cost would be.  The number between the #'s is the number of times you can 
cast the spell.

Spells can sometimes be granted by reciting a particular type of scroll.

GROUP

GROUP
Usage: group <player>
       group all

GROUP with no arguments shows the status of your group.  GROUP <player>
adds or removes <player> from your group.  GROUP ALL adds everyone who is
following you to your group.

If you are a group member, then you will share experience points for killing
monsters among the group, based in the levels of the members in the group.  
Experience points will only be shared among group members that are in the same 
location, at the time of the killing blow.  Sharing is regardless of whether 
the group members have been participating in the fight.

To make a group, a "leader" must be selected.  All members of the group
must then "follow" the leader using the follow command.  The leader should
NOT follow anyone at all!  The leader can now toggle group membership for
each player in the group, by using "group <player_name>".  The leader
should remember to include himself in the group.

Example:

  Quifael and Redferne wishes to group with Dragon.

  Quifael : "follow dragon"
  Redferne: "follow dragon"
  (Dragon should be following no one but himself)
  Dragon  : "group dragon"
  Dragon  : "group redferne"
  Dragon  : "group quifael"

Later when Dragon gets upset at Quifael (because he is sleeping all the time)
he types : "Group Quifael" to kick Quifael out of the group.

HIT_POINTS

HIT POINTS
Hit Points are the measure of your life.  The lower your current hit point
value gets, the closer you are to dieing.  Damage taken from an attack or a
spell being cast on you will reduce your hitpoints.  When your hitpoints
get to negative 10, you will die.

The exact number of your max is dependent on a few factors.  As you
progress in levels the maximum amount of hit points you have will increase
based on your class, race, guild memberships and CONSTITUTION.  If at any
moment any of these factors change, your max hit points will immediately
adjust to compensate.

For example, the higher your CONSTITUTION, the higher your max hit points
will be.  If you are wearing an item that increases your CON from 17 to 18,
you will recieve the bonus for 18 "modified" CON.  Once you remove that
item you will loose the 18 CON bonus and your max hit points will drop to
the new value.  

Higher "natural" CON will give larger bonus'.

HITROLL

HITROLL

or min value for hitroll; it's natural value is zero.

IDENTIFY

IDENTIFY
Whenever you identify an item with a spell (an identify scroll, object
reading, or the information spell, or magical means), you will have access 
to the stats of that item forever.  This does not include the know history
skill.

The IDENTIFY command is used to show the stats of an item you have already
identified with the methods mentioned above.  If you have not learned the
stats of an item before, this command will let you know.

Example:
 > identify sword
 > identify 2.ring

Items must be in your inventory (not worn).  A stack of items would need
each individual item to be identified at least once for the stats to then
be available via this command.  This is because even if you think the stats
could be the same, there are factors that could make the item different
from its counterpart of the same name.

Sorry, but items identified before this command was implemented will need
to be re-identified for this to work.

LIFEBLOOD

LIFEBLOOD
Level : Dark Knight 22
Usage : (automatic)

When practiced, melee damage done to enemies is absorbed, being spent to 
regen hitpoints.

Every 10 hitpoints the Dark Knight absorbs from his victim is used to regen
a single hitpoint.  You can absorb up to 5,000 hitpoints, giving up to 500
points of regen.

Lifeblood is automatically used to regen hitpoints every pulse, attempting
to bring you up to your max hitpoints.  For example:

  You have 500 max hitpoints, and you've stored 5,000 lifeblood points.
  If you take 100 points of damage, when the next pulse happens you will
  automatically spend 1,000 lifeblood points to heal you back up to 500 
  hitpoints (minus any already gained by your natural regen).

Spell damage is not absorbed.

Skill must be practiced to superb to function.

Absorbed points are lost when you leave the game.  We welcome feedback
on this decision after it's been in use for a while.

LINK

LINK
A lot of players have problems with their links to the game.  This can be
very hazardous to your health in the middle of a battle, of course.

 I. If your link is broken, you will automatically attempt to flee each
    time someone attempts to hit you.  If you manage to flee, then you
    will be saved by divine forces, and put in a safe place until you
    reconnect to the game.

II. If your link jams (freezes), you have a problem.  The only solution we
    can give is that you break your link as quickly as possible.  By
    breaking the link you can hope that the above procedure is initiated.

    Do not try to get out of a fight by breaking link.  You will be not
    reimbursed for any experience or equipment if you purposefully
    cut your link.

LOCKERS

LOCKERS
Lockers are good places to store a limited amount of items.  We recognize 
that not everybody can afford a storage room, or even want to spend the 
time to afford one, but you have items you'd like to hang on to without 
creating other characters just to store them.

With a storage locker, you can store, unstore, and list your storage, 
exactly like a traditional storage room.  The difference is, you all have 
to go to the same location to get to your locker.

To purchase a storage locker, go to the storage place off the Dzur room 
in the Refreshment Room.  To buy one, you need to decide what size locker 
you would like.  A small locker holds 15 items, a medium locker holds 25 
items, and a large locker holds 40 items.  Each with their own price 
differences of course.  To see the prices for each, just type "buy" 
without any arguments and you'll get a list.

You can use the command "check" to check the number of items in your 
locker, and also displays what the max number of items your locker can 
hold.

If you decide you no longer want your locker, or want to upgrade to a 
larger one (you can only own one locker per character), you can sell your 
locker with the "sell" command.  How much you get for your locker depends 
on how long you have owned it.  The first day we keep 10% of the cost for 
cleaning fees.  After that your refund goes down by 1% per day.  After 90 
days your refund is zero, but then you may buy a larger locker.

Note: Days here refer to Real Life days, it does not refer to Mud days.

Due to technical limitations, you cannot store containers in your locker.

MAINTAIN

MAINTAIN
  Psionic powers have a uniqueness to spells cast by other classes.  They
use PSP's much the same way other spells use mana, however, they rarely
have a set duration.  Instead, powers are maintained.

  When a power is initiated, it will continue as long as you pay the
maintenance cost.  If the power does not specify a maintenance cost, the
power cannot be maintained.  The maintenance cost listed, is subtracted
from a psionicists PSP's every hour (or 'tick').  If there is not enough
PSP's available to maintain the power, the power ends (and you receive a
normal "wear off message" just like any other spell).

  The MAINTAIN command is used to see what powers are being maintained, 
and what their cost is.  Also, with this command, you can willingly stop
maintaining a power by typing "maintain kill <power name>".

  Powers you cast on other people display in a 'second' list when you type
MAINTAIN.  The powers affecting people in this list are numbered, because
you can have more then one power affecting people, (i.e. you can maintain
levitation on yourself, and as many people as you decide to cast it on).
Because of this, you still specify the power name when killing something
affecting yourself, but when killing a power affecting someone else, you
must specify the number located next to the power in the list.

BE WARNED:  When you kill a power, the order changes, and the numbers
resequence, so if you kill 1, then they all bump up to fill in the missing
number (also, newly casted powers insert at number 1).

MANA_POINTS

MANA POINTS
Mana is used by some classes and most spells to fuel casting.  You must have 
a certain amount of mana in order to cast any particular spell.  If you do 
not have enough mana to cast the spell you need to rest until you gain enough 
points to do so.

The maximum amount of mana your body is able to store is determined by your
class as well as your level.

Mana gained is taken from the MANA POOL of the room you are currently in.

Other spells require GRANTS to cast.

MANA_POOL

MANA POOL
In the world of AddictMUD, the spell caster gains their power (mana) from the 
land itself.  Each "room" has it's own "pool" of mana that is drawn from when 
regenerating your reserves.  The size of the pool, and how quickly it 
replenishes itself is based on the type of terrain it has. i.e.  a jungle 
teeming with life will refull its pool much faster than a city road.

The Max Mana of a spell caster is a representation of how much mana they can 
store that they subconsciously draw from the land.

Each room must also heal this mana that a spell caster draws from it, and each
room has a maximum amount of mana it can build up.  This is what we call the 
"mana pool".  Every point of mana you REGEN is taken from this pool, and once 
this pool is empty you can no longer regen mana while in there.

A powerful spell caster might be able to also pull mana from adjacent rooms, 
or force the room they are in to steal mana from nearby pools.

CANNED MAGIC, such as scrolls and wants, already store the mana required to 
power the spells.

MANA_REGEN

MANA REGEN
MANA_REGEN is the amount of mana you gain per pulse.  There are many things 
that affect the amount of mana you gain per pulse.

- The more applies to mana_regen you have, the more mana you will gain per 
  pulse.
- Age also affects mana gain.  If you are too young, you will not have reached
  an age of wisdom, so you will not know how to regenerate your mana very well,
  the older you are, the better you will get at this.
- If you are hungry or thirsty, the amount of mana you gain per pulse will drop
  significantly.
- The position you are in significantly affects the amount of mana you regen 
  per pulse.  Sleeping you regen the most while fighting you regen the least.
- If the MANA POOL of the room you are currently in is empty, or almost empty,
  there will be little or no mana available for you to draw from.
- Some rooms are imbued with properties that will allow you to draw mana from 
  the zone faster.

service now runs between many of the areas surrounding Midgaard.  The
Midgaard station is on East Wall Road, south and east of the East Gate.
A system map can is posted in each Station (type "look map").

Metrorail Instructions and Schedule
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Midgaard Metrorail runs around the clock, every day.  A token is
required to ride the Metro; tokens can be purchased (using the BUY command)
at all Metro Stations.  All Stations are situated with a platform, and
tracks to the east and west.  Trains to the east go "down" the map; trains
to the west go "up" the map -- make sure to get on the correct train!  Wait
on the platform for your train to arrive; this should take between 1 and 3
minutes, because there are 6 trains running concurrently.  Lights along the
length of the platform will start to flash shortly before a train arrives.

MIND_WARRIOR

MIND WARRIOR
Mind Warrior is a "sub-class".  In order to become a Mind Warrior, you 
must first have mastered the art of the mind, by being in the Psionicist 
class with at least one remort.  Becoming a Mind Warrior does not change 
your class from Psionicist.  It is an enhancement to the Psionicist class.

Mind Warrior's have their own experience table, however unlike some of 
the other sub-classes, a Mind Warrior's experience is not based on the 
number of kills, rather it is based on traditional experience points.  
Twenty percent of the experience gained is given to Mind Warrior.  Once 
Mind Warrior reaches the max level of 30 it stops taking exp away from 
your main class.

You must be a Psionicist if you wish to join the Mind Warrior guild.

prevent you from doing it accidently.  Doing so will get you a flag for
your trouble.

You will not be able to act for 3 rounds of combat after attempting to mug.

MULTI-CAST

MULTI-CAST
The ability for Sorcerers and Necromancers to be able to throw a spell a 
multiple number of times in a single cast.  Higher lever spells land fewer 
times than lower level ones. (Ie. Word of Death, can strike up to two times, 
while Magic Missile can strike up to nine).

The biggest factor in successful multi-cast is the caster's INTELLIGENCE
and WISDOM.  The higher these values, the higher the chance that every
additional cast will fire.

NECROMANCER

NECROMANCER
Necromancers are a type of black sorcerer dealing mostly with the undead.  
These dark spells can do such thing as raise corpses from the dead to do 
your bidding, to steal the life force from other creatures for your own benefit,
and to turn yourself into some undead creature. 

Some of these spells are important as necromancers naturally have low hitpoints
and are not tremendous fighters.  However the strengths of their spells and the 
undead allies they can call make necromancers a viable class.

NEWSCORE
This is an in-progress revamp of the score command.  It is an attempt to 
combine information from SCORE and ATTRIBUTES into one screen, and make it

The command is made available while it is being worked on in order to 
allow everyone to benefit, as well as gather feedback on how useful the 
new format is.

Details of note about the display:
  - AC is a "progress bar".  A value of -100 AC is shown by all dashes.
    When your AC gets higher, the dashes are replaced by the # sign.  A
    bar of all #'s indicates +100 AC (the best you can have).
  - Hit, Mana and moves are broken down to indicate:
      Current / Max (Regen per pulse)+regen apply's%
    "Regen per pulse" reflects your "regen apply's"

skills of thieves and warriors to produce a unique, deadly fighting style.

While ninjas have no need of spells, they have extensive knowledge of various 
fighting techniques. These techniques can be improved by practicing at a ninja
guild.

Because of the considerable power contained within the Ninja class it is 
limited to remorts only.

take damage, as the poison courses through your veins, taking it's toll.

The best way to cure poison is with a potion or spell.  Over time the
poison will run it's course, and you will be cured, the trick is staying
alive in the meantime!

POWER_CHECK

POWER CHECK
A power check is what determines whether or not a psionic 'power' succeeds in
casting or not.  How 'learned' a power is has no affect on the power check.
Instead, depending on the spell, a psionicist's WISDOM, CONSTITUTION, or
INTELLIGENCE is used in determining success.  A roll of 1d20 is made, and if
the result is greater than or equal to the 'power score' of the power being 
cast, the spell fails, and half the cost of the spell is lost.  Since 'power 
scores' are different from power to power, they are listed in the help for
each power.

Example: If the 'power score' of a spell is listed as "CON -2", and your CON
is 15, your power score is 13, (15-2), so the roll of 1d20 must be 13 or
lower for the power to succeed.

%C    Current position - Standing, Sitting, etc

Example:

Typing "prompt > "

Typing "prompt %hH %mM %vV> "
would set your prompt to "15H 114M 82M> "

Typing "prompt Time: %t> "  (assuming it's 6:45pm EST)
would set your prompt to "Time: 18:45> "

Typing "prompt Time: %t-3> " (assuming it's 6:45pm EST)
would set your prompt to "Time: 15:45> "

Special "battle only" prompts also exist.  This is displayed ONLY when
your character is in battle.

%f     The mob that you are fighting " Fighting: <mobname>"
%c     The MOB's condition  "{Minor Bruises}", for example.


For those of you with 100% ANSI compatable terminals, you can also use
these COLORIZED options:

%i    "Autowarn" hitpoints
%n    "Autowarn" manapoints
%w    "Autowarn" movements
%o    "Autowarn" PSP

These are the standard %h, %m and %v codes that are green when you are
above 2/3 of maximum, yellow when you are 1/3 to 2/3 full, and red when
you are below 1/3 of your maximum.  These colors will appear REGARDLESS
of your color setting.

%s   "Autowarn player status"  -- Good, Fair, Poor, etc for YOUR 
character.
%S   "Autowarn tank status"    -- Good, Fair, Poor, etc for the groups 
tank.

Note: %s and %S are battle prompt options only.  They are displayed ONLY
      when your character is fighting.  They go from green to yellow to 
      red as the condition of the subject worsens.

Finally, there is settable prompt color.  These color the entire text of
the prompt, up to a automatically colored prompt control code.

%0   Return prompt to normal color
%1   Red
%2   Blue
%3   White
%4   Green
%5   Cyan
%6   Magenta
%7   Yellow
%8   Reversed Text
%9   Bold

For example:

"prompt %1United %3States %0of %2%9America> "

Would produce "United States of America> " where "United" is blue, 
"States" is red, "of" is normal, and "America" is bold blue.  Color will
automatically revert to normal at the end of the prompt.

PSIONIC INFLATION
Power Score      : WIS - 5
Initial Cost     : 25
Maintenance Cost : N/A

When a psionicist invokes this power, he sends out a powerful ring of
psionic noise.  All psionic activity within this area requires twice the
normal initial cost and maintenance.  The initiating psionicist is not
affected; the noise actually begins about an inch beyond his aura, 
creating a bubble of relative quiet around him.

Other psionicists in the area of effect will not realize anything is wrong
until they actually use a power.  If they are maintaining a power, they
discover the inflated rate after paying twice the normal maintenance cost.

PSIONICIST

PSIONICIST
Psionicists are extraordinary characters who develop their powers through
arduous training.  Unlike magic wielded by a mage, or those granted by a
Cleric's God, a Psionicist uses the power from within him/herself.
A Psionicist does not use MANA for spells.  Instead, psionic powers are 
fueled by PSP's (psionic strength points), completely separated from mana.

When casting a psionic power (their "spells"), it does not succeed or fail
dependent on how well the power is learned.  Instead, a 'power score' is
used for a POWER CHECK.  Because of this, a Psionicist gets 1 practice per
level, and that practice is all you need to spend to learn your chosen 
power.

Psionicists gain more hit points than a Cleric, but less than a Thief or 
Warrior.

PSP gains when you level are based on your Wisdom.  The higher your 
Wisdom, the more PSP's you will get when you level.  The higher your
'natural' or 'real' WISDOM, the higher your max PSP's will be.

Psionic powers also have a uniqueness to spells cast by other classes. 
They use PSP's much the same way other spells use mana, however, they
rarely have a set duration.  For more details see the help on MAINTAIN.

A psionic 'power' being so different from a spell or normal attack, cannot
be protected against with SANCTUARY, MIRROR IMAGE, or REFLECTION, because
the attacks are usually mental instead of physical.

PSP

PSP
PSP stands for Psionic Strength Points.  These points are only applied to
PSIONICIST class.  As every Psionicist will know, their psionic spells are
fully dependent on PSP's.  The higher PSP a player has, the more effective
he/she will be.

The maximum amount of PSP's a character can have is determined by his level
and WISDOM.  If at any moment either of these change, your max PSP's will
automatically adjust to compensate.

For example, the higher your WISDOM, the higher your max PSP's will be.  If
you are wearing an item that increases your WIS from 17 to 18, you will
recieve the bonus for 18 "modified" WIS.  Once you remove that item you
will loose the 18 WIS bonus and your max PSP's will drop to the new value.  

Higher "natural" WISDOM will give larger bonus'.

Note that PSP's are different from mana.

PULSE

PULSE
A pulse is a measurement of point regen.  They are 5 seconds.  When your
hitpoints, mana, movement or psp's are not at their max, you will "regen"
points every "pulse".  The amount you regen every pulse is determined by
many factors, including your age, class, and sometimes even the room you
are in.

QUESTS

QUESTS
A QUEST is generally a task given to you by an Immortal or NPC.  Generally
speaking they are typically along the lines of retrieving an item and
returning it to the initiator of the quest.  These items can be easy to
get, or at times near impossible.  Most quests you can find by "talking" to
an NPC with the TALK command.  The NPC will tell you that they need an
item, or perhaps a certain mob killed with proof of the deed.  Once you
have the requested item return to the NPC and "give" the item to him/her
with the GIVE command.  You will receive your reward.

RECEPTACLE

RECEPTACLE
Power Score      : WIS - 5
Initial Cost     : 20
Maintenance Cost : N/A

This spell is used to store a psionicists power within a treasure.  The
first time the spell is cast on a treasure, it is prepared, and bonded to
the caster so that noone else may use it.  After that, every time this
spell is cast on the item, 15 of the 20 PSP's spent are stored in it.

To use the stored PSP's, you just have to hold the item (in your inventory
will not work), and PSP's are taken from the item as needed automatically
when casting a spell, or maintaining spells (you also get a message saying
how many points are taken).

The most a treasure can hold is equal to it's value (this could change).

Only the OBJECT READING spell will show how many PSP's the treasure 
contains.

It's possible some TREASURES may already contain some innate power stored 
in them.  In that case, cast receptacle on it, and that energy belongs to 
you.

REGENERATION

REGENERATION
Regeneration is the process by which hitpoints, mana, movement points, etc
naturally return to their maximum level.  The rate at which these
statistics regenerate is effected by your state.  Standing is the lowest
state followed by sitting, resting and finally sleeping, where the highest
rate of regeneration occurs.  Practically if a cleric needs more mana, then
they should sleep as this will return their mana to its maximum level fastest.

REMORT

REMORT

Remorting allows you to go back to the beginning (level 1) after you reach 
level 31 or above in any one class guild.  The up shot is, you get certain 
perks that you don't normally receive.  You can increase your natural stats, 
i.e. Strength, Intelligence, etc. You can also reset your age back to 17 years 
old (you regen hit points slower when you get too old... but the older you get 
the faster mana regens...  good for a magic user, bad  for a warrior).

All of your guild memberships are reset to level 1.  You do not keep any 
spells/skills (except for what you have purchased with remort points), and 
your hit points, mana and movement are all set as they would be at level 1.

Remorting also allows you to use certain equipment that is flagged
REMORT_ONLY.  It doesn't necessarily mean it's anything special, but it
most likely is.

Remorting also will join you to the REMORT guild.  Every time you remort this
guild will advance a level.  Not much is included in this guild currently, but
you will receive a slight mana/hp/move/psp boost for each remort level.  No,
this guild does not reset to level 1, that is the only exception.

To remort, you use the REMORT command.  All rewards are optional.

For example, If you want to add one point to your INTELLIGENCE and another to 
your WISDOM:

> remort int wis remort

If you want to add two points to a stat, you can do (order is not important,
same rewards stack with multiple use):

> remort int int wis remort

You don't need to specify a stat if you don't want to, you can select other
rewards, or nothing at all.  Typing "remort remort" will remort you "as-is" 
with no increases, changes to bonus', etc.  This is good for saving up remort
points for more costly rewards.

To buy these rewards requires REMORT POINTS.  See the REMORT POINTS help for
details on how they are granted.

Points are spent when you pick rewards to spend them on.  For example, each 
stat increase will cost 1 point, resetting age is 2 points, etc.  Some rewards 
may cost more points then you are able to earn in one remort.  For these you 
will need to remort more then once, saving points for later use.

See the help for REMORT REWARDS for available rewards and their cost.

You can only choose a max of 4 rewards per remort.

REMORT_POINTS

REMORT POINTS
Remort Points are points awarded to your character as you progress in levels,
that you can use to better your character when you REMORT.  For example, you
can increase your stats, or change your race, among many other things.

The points are given based on the level of each class guild you join.  Any
guild between levels 31 and 45 will give you one additional remort point.  At
46 the class will give you two remort points.  At level 65 the guild will give
you a total of four remort points.

REMORT_REWARDS

REMORT REWARDS

Remort rewards are what you can chose from when remorting.  The rewards include:

str, int, wis, dex, con, cha, 1 pt, level 31
   You can permanently increase any ability score by one point per one remort
   point spent.  A max of 3 points per remort is allowed.

age, 2 pts, level 31
   When you get old, your mana regen goes up, but your movement and hit point
   regen continues to drop until you regen nothing.  While there are spells
   and magical equipment that can artificially lower your age, you can use
   this reward to be "reborn".  The clock is rolled back and you are an age of
   17 again.

dwarf, 5 pts, level 31
   This is a powerful fighting race.  See the help for DWARF for more details.

elf, 5 pts, level 31
   This is a powerful magic race.  See the help for ELF for more details.

human, 1 pt, level 31
   The "all around average" race.  If you change your race into something else,
   it will cost you one point to change it back on remort.

floating, 5 pts, level 31
   "Floating nearby".  Another wear slot for eq.

castcost, 2 pts, level 32
   Reduces mana costs by 2% for every 2 points spent (cumulative)(max amount
   you can reduce castcost is by 30%). (Does not affect psi spell casting or
   maintenance)

permlloydsbeacon, 4 pts, level 45
   Lloyd's Beacon is an interesting spell.  It allows you to "set" an anchor
   in a room, and "recall" to it later.  See the help entry for LLOYDS BEACON
   for more information.  You will keep this spell across multiple remorts.

ear, 5 pts, level 45
   Adds an additional EAR wear position.  You can add up to 2 additional ear
   slots.  You are only allowed to buy one wear slot per remort.  All current
   earwear can be worn in these additional slots.

ankle, 5 pts, level 60
   You will be able to wear those stylish ankle bracelets. (2 max)

small remort orbs,  2 pts, level 31
medium remort orbs, 3 pts, level 55
   5 Types of remort orbs are available to receive upon remort.  Fire, water,
   shadow, holy and electric.  Remort orbs are objects that are dropped into
   your inventory when you select one of the remort reward to receive one.
   The orbs increase the damage done by spells of the element that matches the
   chosen orb.  I.e.  A fire orb increases the damage of the fireball spell.

   They can be used in two ways.  First, you can wear one in an ORB wear slot
   that everybody has.  Second, you can have a thief inset them into an item
   with an open inset slot.

   If an item allows multiple insets, you can inset multiple orbs of the same
   or different types.

   When you pick an orb as you remort, it is bonded to you.
   The syntax for remorting an orb is orb_<size>_<type> as in:
   > remort orb_medium_fire <other rewards> remort
   > remort orb_small_shadow <other rewards> remort

small enchant orbs,  3 pts, level 31
medium enchant orbs, 4 pts, level 55
    ENCHANT remort orbs follow all of the same rules that elemental remort orbs
    have.  The difference is, these orbs are the required component for getting
    a perm spell affect when enchanting with the ENCHANT ARMOR spell.  The
    better the orb, the higher the chance.

    The syntax for remorting enchant orbs is the same as all other orbs:
    > remort orb_medium_enchant <other rewards> remort

    You may not remort both an enchant orb and another non-enchant
    orb in the same remort.

    Details are being considered for how they can be applied to ENCHANT
    WEAPON.

key_see_spell_duration, 3pts, level 35
    See the duration of spells affecting with the ATTRIBUTE command.

key_see_battle_damage,  3pts, level 45
    See the exact damage you do in battle!

maxhp, 2pts, level 32
    For every 2 remort points spent, you gain two hit points per level, for a
    max of 10 points per level (that's a 650 hp bonus at level 65)

maxmove, 1pt, level 32
    For every 1 remort point spent, you gain two movement points per level,
    for a max of 10 points per level (that's a 650 moves bonus at level 65)

multiclass, 7pts, level 50

    Sorcerer, Cleric, Paladin, etc.  This remort reward allows you to increase

REQUEST

REQUEST
All requests for room/object/mob/script/shop modifications must
contain the following information / guidelines.

 - Please make the request with the owner of the rooms.  If the owner is 
   not the same as the requesting character, we reserve the right to 
   delete it without a response.

 - The TYPE of room, mob, or object. The types can be found by typing
   "help ROOM_PRICES".  If you are requesting a new house please do so 
   with the character that will own it, and therefore control the guest 
   list.

 - The LOCATION of the room, mob, or object. If a room has a room number, 
   that number suffices to identify the room.  If it does not, specify 
   the room title of an existing room and a direction.  Mob and object 
   locations should include the room title.  If you want an object on a 
   mob, the mob's name and load location.

 - Any NAMES and DESCRIPTIONS for the room, mob, or object to have.
   Failure to provide these will cause defaults of the type to be set 
   and/or artistic license to be taken on the part of the immortal.
   Future changes will cost gold.

 - For RECALL DEVICES, include the trigger command and argument required
   to activate it.  For example "pet mog".  Include any messages to the
   character using it, and to the room.  Also the name of the room you
   would like to recall TO (this cannot be the entrance to your house, it 
   must be another room).

 - For RECALL MOBS also include the phrase to tell the mob in order to 
   activate it, as well as the same messages required for a RECALL DEVICE.
   The mob will require a unique keyword, something not in use by any   
   other mob in the game, this is so you don't wind up trying to send 
   tells to another mob in the game, and thus you cannot recall.

To use the request command, you must type "request <subject>".  This will 
then open an editor for you to type your request in.  For example:

> request mob

Note: the subject can be anything, but please limit it to the subject of 
your request, i.e. obj for objects, mob for mob changes, room for room 
changes.

For changes to existing rooms/mobs/objects, provide the location (as
specified above), and then be very specific about what is to be changed.
For connections, specify the starting room, the direction, and the room. 
Specify if it is to be one-way or two-way.

**When requesting an Item to be added to your shop, please do not simply 
request "please add blah blah blah to my shop", please state the room 
name that the shopkeeper is housed in and preferrably the shopkeeper's 
name.**

RESCUE
Usage: rescue <target>

This command is useful if you want to try and make an attacker hit you

ROGUE

ROGUE
The Rogue is a "sub-class".  In order to become a Rogue, you must first have
mastered the art of Thievery, by being in the Thief class with at least one
remort.  Becoming a Rogue does not change your class from Thief. It is an
enhancement to the Thief class.

Rogues have their own experience table. However, unlike some of the other
sub-classes, a Rogue's experience is not based on the number of kills.  Rather,
it is based on traditional experience points.  Twenty percent of the experience
gained is given to Rogue.  Once Rogue reaches the maximum level of 30 it stops
taking exp away from your main class.

You must be a Thief in order to join the the Rogue guild.

RTELL

RTELL
RTELL is the command used to send a "tell" to someone on another mud via
intermud.  The usage is simple:

rtell player@mud hi

AddictMUD uses it to allow players to communicate with each other from the
OLC port (a copy of the mud running on port 4001 for builders only). For 
example:

rtell player@olc hi
or
rtell player@addict howdy

that works much like the HELP command you used to see this information now.

Type "POLICY" to see a list of topics.  Then you can type "POLICY topic
name" to see the details of that topic.

It is considered a good idea to read the policies of AddictMUD early in
your mudding career.  Ignorance is not an acceptable excuse when policies
are broken.

RWHO

RWHO
RWHO is used to get a "who" listing of someone on a remote mud.  As far as
AddictMUD is currently concerned, that is only the olc port.  Example:

SAVE

SAVE
Usage: save

Save your persona.  This includes experience points, strength, gold, etc.
Your equipment is also saved in the (unlikely?) event of a crash.  The game
frequently auto-saves you and your equipment, so it is not necessary to
have your client auto-save you as well.

You CANNOT load a saved version if you die -- your persona still exists,
but you will lose experience, and all your objects stay in the game, with
your corpse.

Note that the SAVE command only saves your equipment in the event of a
crash.  If you are leaving the game normally, SAVE will NOT save your
equipment -- you must find an Inn to store your belongings.

SAY
Usage: say | shout | holler <string>

better if you start your sentences with either say, tell, whisper or shout.

Examples:

  > say Hey, does anyone know how to get to Oz?
  > tell catje hi, how are you?

You can use ' as a shorthand for say, as in:

  > ' hello there.

be level 2 before you can use shout and yell.

SHOPS

SHOPS
Shops are places where the adventurer may purchase equipment for his quests,
and where he may sell his treasure if he should manage to survive the perils
with his life and sanity intact.  Many shops trade only in a specific type of
merchandise.  Thus, a baker may well refuse to buy your armor, even if it is
of high quality!

To some people, the prospect of obtaining the entire inventory of a shop by
murdering the keeper may appear tempting - but beware: The shopkeepers are 
often rugged, capable men; roughened by years of trading and, indeed,
surviving in a world where the only safe prospect is death in the end.

SHOUT

SHOUT
Usage: say | shout | holler <string>
       tell | whisper | ask <player> <string>

If you consider communicating with other beings, you might be understood
better if you start your sentences with either say, tell, whisper or 
shout.

Examples:

  > say Hey, does anyone know how to get to Oz?
  > tell catje hi, how are you?

You can use ' as a shorthand for say, as in:

  > ' hello there.

Shout broadcasts your message to everyone is your geographic zone.  Holler
broadcasts to everyone in the game but costs 20 movement points.  You must
be level 2 before you can use shout and yell.

You can turn off the shout channel to be deaf to it by typing noshout. To 
re-enable the channel type noshout a second time.

SHUTDOWN

SHUTDOWN
Usage: shutdown [reboot | die | pause]

SHUTDOWN shuts the MUD down.  The SHUTDOWN command works in conjunction with
CircleMUD's 'autorun' script.  If you are not using autorun, the arguments 
are meaningless.  If you are using autorun, the following arguments are 
available:

REBOOT     Pause only 5 seconds instead of the normal 40 before trying to
           restart the MUD.

DIE        Kill the autorun script; the MUD will not reboot until autorun is
           explicitly run again.

PAUSE      Create a file called 'paused' in Circle's root directory; do not
           try to restart the MUD until 'paused' is removed.

STORE

STORE
AddictMUD allows players to purchase rooms for the purpose of storing
items. Stored items are saved and do not disappear in the event of a 
reboot or crash. They also do not count toward a character's 40 item limit
in rent. Obviously, storage is neither free nor cheap.

A storage room has capacity of approx. 300 items. At (or about) 300 items
you cannot add any more to it.  Players may store  items using the STORE
command and retrieve stored items using the UNSTORE command.

e.g.
 To store a mushroom currently in your inventory.

 > store mushroom

 You can also store all the mushrooms you are carrying by typing

 > store all.mushroom

 Or simply specify "all" to store every item in your inventory. 

 To unstore all mushrooms in that mushroom

 > unstore mushroom

 If you type "unstore all" it sill unstore EVERYTHING.

then until the next reboot pkill is enabled, and anyone can attack anyone
else.

At the end of a TC, the backup is restored, so nobody loses anything.

TRIGGER

TRIGGER TRIGGERS
Usage : trigger add <trigger name> {pattern} {action}
Usage : trigger remove <trigger name>
Usage : trigger list

A trigger is an automated response to text output from the game. When the
game sends you text that matches a trigger's pattern, the trigger's action
commands are automatically executed. Triggers are similar to tintin++ 
#action commands.

ADDING TRIGGERS

Type TRIGGER ADD <name> {pattern} {action} to create a new trigger.
The trigger name must be one word and is used to identify the trigger.
The pattern is a regular expression enclosed in curly braces {}.
The action is one or more commands to execute, also in curly braces {}.

  > trigger add hungry {^You are hungry\.$} {get bread bag;eat bread}
  > trigger add thirsty {^You are thirsty\.$} {drink waterskin}

PATTERNS

Patterns use regular expression syntax:
  ^        - Matches the start of a line
  $        - Matches the end of a line
  \.       - Matches a literal period (. alone matches any character)
  .*       - Matches any characters (zero or more)
  [0-9]+   - Matches one or more digits
  (word1|word2) - Matches either word1 or word2

Examples:
  {^You are hungry\.$}        - Exact match for hunger message
  {.*enters the room}         - Any text followed by "enters the room"
  {^[A-Z][a-z]+ tells you}    - Matches tell messages

ACTIONS

Actions can contain multiple commands separated by semicolons (;).
Commands are queued and executed in order, just like aliases.

  > trigger add autoeat {^You are hungry\.$} {get bread bag;eat bread}
  > trigger add autoheal {^Your.*light wounds} {cast 'heal' self}

REPLACEMENT VARIABLES

You can use capture groups in patterns with parentheses () and reference
them in actions with %1 through %9. This allows triggers to capture parts
of the matched text and use them in commands.

  %1 - Contents of first capture group ()
  %2 - Contents of second capture group ()
  ... up to %9

Examples:
  > trigger add relay {^([A-Za-z]+) tells you '(.*)'$} {tell bob %1 said '%2'}

  When someone says: Alice tells you 'hello there'
  The trigger executes: tell bob Alice said 'hello there'

  > trigger add respond {^([A-Za-z]+) waves at you} {wave %1;say Hi %1!}
  
  When someone says: Bob waves at you
  The trigger executes: wave Bob;say Hi Bob!

Note: If you use capture groups in your pattern but don't reference them
in the action (%1, %2, etc.), they are simply ignored.

REMOVING TRIGGERS

Type TRIGGER REMOVE <name> to delete a trigger that has already been defined.

  > trigger remove hungry

LISTING TRIGGERS

Type TRIGGER LIST to see all your currently defined triggers, including
their patterns and actions.

  > trigger list

IMPORTANT NOTES

- Triggers fire on output sent TO you, not commands you type
- Be careful with trigger patterns - poorly designed triggers can spam
  commands or create infinite loops
- Triggers do not persist across logins (yet) - you must recreate them
  each time you log in
- Multiple triggers can fire on the same output line
- Trigger actions are executed as if you typed them manually

EXAMPLES

Auto-eat when hungry:
  > trigger add autoeat {^You are hungry\.$} {get bread bag;eat bread}

Auto-drink when thirsty:
  > trigger add autodrink {^You are thirsty\.$} {drink waterskin}

Auto-cast heal when wounded:
  > trigger add autoheal {^Your wounds} {cast 'heal' self}

Greet people who enter (with capture group):
  > trigger add greeter {^([A-Za-z]+) enters} {say Hello, %1!}

Relay tells to another player:
  > trigger add tellrelay {^(\w+) tells you '(.*)'$} {tell bob %1: %2}

Respond to waves:
  > trigger add waverespond {^(\w+) waves at you} {wave %1;emote waves back}

Alert on tells:
  > trigger add tellalert {tells you} {beep}

UNDEAD

UNDEAD
The undead race is "a little bit different".  They never get thirsty, and 
can drink endlessly, but they do need to eat (body parts and corpses!).  
Eating dead flesh allows them to heal faster.  Traditional healing spells 
and potions will cause damage instead of heal.  Spells like 'vampyric 
touch' have greater affect however.

When in battle against someone who's not undead, there's a good chance that
their touch will cause 'rotting flesh' to affect their victim.

UNSTORE

UNSTORE
AddictMUD allows players to purchase rooms for the purpose of storing
items. Stored items are saved and do not disappear in the event of a reboot
or crash. They also do not count toward a character's 40 item limit in
rent. Obviously, storage is neither free nor cheap.

using the STORE command and retrieve stored items using the UNSTORE command
(e.g. "STORE mushroom" will store a mushroom currently in your inventory.
"UNSTORE all.mushroom" will unstore all mushrooms currently stored in the
room, and cause them to appear on the ground.  "STORE all.mushroom" will
store all mushrooms in your inventory, and "STORE all" will store your
entire inventory. "UNSTORE all" will unstore all items stored in the room).
!Rent items such as keys will not survive storage, and will crumble when
unstored. 

A list of stored items may be viewed by typing "STORE LIST".

USE

USE
Usage: use <staff>
       use <wand> <Target>

Using a staff will automatically target everybody (or everything) in a
room, except yourself.  Therefore staves are naturally very powerful, and
yet may be very dangerous to use around other players.

Using a wand requires that you point it at a target, which can be either a
character or an object.

Both staves and wands must be HELD in the hand prior to use!  (Use the
grab or hold commands).  You must still supply the name of the staff or
wand to avoid confusion.
