    Abjurers are specialist mages who concentrate their studies towards the mastery
    of protective magic.  So adept have they become that they automatically gain every
    known abjuration spell when they gain levels, including spells which only the
    abjurer may master.

    Although the Abjurer will not have the benefit of Enchantment spells, they are
    still formidible foes.  Their protective magic lasts much longer than that of other
    mages, and they still have access to many of the most dangerous spells.
ACTIVATE
    Command : ACTIVATE
    Usage   : ACTIVATE ([PARAMETERS]) [ITEM]
    Usage   : ACTIVATE ([PARAMETERS]) ([ITEM])
    Example : activate stun phazer
    Example : activate console
    Example : activate warp drive console
    Example : activate thrust 100 console
    Short(s): A, >
    *** THIS COMMAND IS UNIMPLEMENTED ***
    This multi-purpose command is used to turn-on electrical devices (no parameters
    required), change settings on electrical devices (by including proper parameters),
    and operate computer consoles.  An item being activated always requires the target
    item unless the item is a computer console the player is sitting at, in which case
    it is implied.
AFFECT
    Command : AFFECT
    Usage   : AFFECT
    Example : affect
    Short(s): AFF
    List the spell or other affects that your character is currently under the
    influence of.
AFK
    Command : AFK
    Usage   : AFK ([OPTIONAL MESSAGE])
    Example : afk
    Example : afk I am eating.
    Short(s):
    Notifies the system that you are away from your keyboard.  Entering AFK again,
    or just entering a new command will reset this status. You may enter an optional
    message to give to those who attempt to TELL you something.
ALIAS
    Command : ALIAS
    Usage   : ALIAS
    Example : alias
    Short(s):
    This command will allow a player to manage a list of alias command strings.
    Any command string a player enters which begins with one of the listed alias names
    will be replaced with the given alias value. This allows players to create shorter
    keywords for activating commands which might normally require longer strings.
ALIGNMENT
    Your alignment represents your moral fiber, with Good representing selfless
    benevolence, Evil representing selfish maliciousness, and Neutral representing the
    balance of the two.

    In combat, the amount of experience you receive from the vanquishing of a foe
    depends partially on your alignment versus that of the creature you have killed.
    In general, if you are Good and you kill a Good creature, or Evil and kill an Evil
    creature, or Neutral and kill a Neutral creature, you receive NO experience.  The
    amount of experience can vary depending upon how close to perfect Goodness, perfect
    Evil, or pure Neutrality you are.  In addition to receiving no experience for
    violating this rule, you will find your characters alignment slowly changing with
    each repeat offense.

    For some classes, alignment can have other affects.  Paladins must always be
    good, and will find that their spellcasting ability disappears with their goodness.
     Clerics may be good or evil, but their spell choices can profoundly impact their
    alignment.  A Good Cleric or Paladin who casts malicious spells will soon find
    themselves becoming evil.  Evil Clerics can suffer the same fate for using
    benevolent spells.
ALTERER
    Alterers are specialist mages who concentrate their studies in the mastery of
    altering the world around them.  Their all-purpose skills serve them wonderfully in
    combat, in the maintenance of their own health and equipment, and in becomming
    successful adventurers.  So skilled are they in the alteration of the universe that
    they gain all known alteration spells, including some which only the alterer may
    gain.

    The Alterer suffers from a lack of access to the Evocation school of magic, the
    long duration and heavy impact of their spells plus the general usefulness of their
    school makes them a good choice for all mages.  Since they have their own kind of
    destructive magic, they will find they don't miss evocations at all.
ANSI
    Command : ANSI
    Usage   : ANSI
    Example : ansi
    Short(s):
    Turns on color output.  NOANSI or NOCOLOR turns it off.  See also COLORSET.
APPRENTICE
    An Apprentice is a weak class that qualifies only for the games most common
    skills.  As an Apprentice, you are free to move around in the game and learn some
    of the ropes before choosing a more permanent career.  When you have decided which
    of the main classes to go to, you may use the TRAIN command with an appropriate
    teacher to become the class of your choosing.  If you cant find an appropriate
    teacher, remember that a player of the proper class may be able to help you.  Be
    sure to save yourself a training point for this purpose!
ARCANIST
    Also known as the Arcane Rogue, the Arcanist is the thief who has become
    fascinated with all things arcane, but has little or no innate magical power. He is
    an accumulator of wands and scrolls; making good use of his limited knowledge to
    create, improve, and most especially use these items to his devious ends.
    Arcanists are also just knowledgable enough to learn spells simply by observing
    their usage, although, lacking any innate power, he forgets them as soon as they
    are used.
ARCHON
    An Archon is a being of ultimate power.  Do not mess with them.
AREAS
    Command : AREAS
    Usage   : AREAS
    Example : areas
    Short(s):

    also enter HELP [AREA NAME] to get more help on the areas you see listed with this
    command.
ARMORED_DEFENSE
    The level of protection your character has from being hit by ordinary weapons.
ARRESTED
    When happens to you when an officer accuses you of a crime, and is able to
    subdue you.  See also HANDCUFF.
ARTISAN
    An Artisan is a professional tradesman who specializes in the common skills
    that make civilization work.  Although his fighting weakness makes him a poor
    choice for exploring those monster filled dungeons, the Artisan is still able to
    advance by using his skills and gaining experience while he does! Artisans, like
    Apprentices, may still choose to go into a more adventurous profession, but like
    Apprentices, they are unable to go back.
ASK
    Command : ASK
    Usage   : ASK ([MOB NAME]) [MESSAGE]
    Example : ask Where am I?
    Short(s):
    Causes your character to speak to one or more characters or mobs in the same
    room as yourself.  You may specify the mob to speak to, or just speak in general.
ASSASSIN
    Assassins reflect the darkest and most wicked side of the rogue.  The dealing
    of death becomes a goal in itself, the epitomy of evil.  The assassin becomes so
    centered on this art that he begins to slow his pace, learning and contemplating
    each "mark" as the best method of killing them becomes clear.  They also learn
    skills in keeping track of and tracking down their marks, as well as other means of
    making life for the targeted miserable, and short. The assassin can use any
    weapons, unlike the standard thief, though his armor is still restricted.
ASSIST
    Command : ASSIST
    Usage   : ASSIST [REQUEST]
    Example : assist I'm stuck here and I can't get out!
    Short(s):
    Use this command to make requests of the Archons.
ATLAS
    Try the AREAS command.
ATTACK_POINTS
    The combat prowess of a player.  Try the SCORE command.
AUCTION
    Command : AUCTION
    Usage   : AUCTION (CLOSE)/(CHANNEL [MSG])/[BID]/[ITEM] ([OPENING BID])
    Example : auction ring
    Example : auction ring 100
    Example : auction 150
    Example : auction channel the ring is really great!
    Example : auction close
    Short(s):
    This versatile command is used by players wishing to auction items, as well as
    by those wishing to bid on items up for auction.  To start an auction, the player
    enters auction plus the name of the item, and an optional starting bid.  If there
    is no other auction going on at the time, the auction will begin.  Auctions last
    for a silent 5 minutes, plus 1 minute for each going once/twice/sold.  If no bids
    have been received after the first 3 minutes, the item will proceed directly to the
    going once/twice/sold period. The person putting on the auction may, at any time,
    close the auction without penalty by entering "auction close", or communicate on
    the auction channel (to give a better item description perhaps) using "auction
    channel [message]".

    To place a bid on an auction that is ongoing, a player need only enter "auction
    [amount]".  Where amount is the maximum amount the player will pay for the item.  A
    proxy bidding system is in place for all auctions.  The current bid on the item
    will always be less than or equal to the bid of the high bidder, and at least 1
    gold more than the bid of the previous high bidder.  This means that, if the
    current bid on an item is 5, and a player bids 10, the new bid will become 6 (one
    more than the previous high bid).  If another player then bids 20, the new bid will
    become 11.

    When an auction ends, the system will attempt to automatically complete the
    transaction for both the bidder and the auctioneer.  The proper money will be
    transferred (in converted notes) from the high bidder to the auctioneer.  The item
    up for auction will be automatically transferred from the auctioneer to the high
    bidder.

BARBARIAN
    Barbarians are the wild warriors of the frontier.  Their ability to deal large
    amounts of damage in combat, as well as inspire combative behaviors in others makes
    them especially ferocious.  They are fond of mastering numerous weapons, and
    building up their bodies, though they distrust metal armors, and may not wear them
    without difficulties.

    How to play: Barbarian combat skills make them desirable as group members.
    While their non-metal armor restriction can sometimes hurt their nomination as
    tanks, their ability to deal and absorb large amounts of damage can more than make
    up for anything lacked.  Because of this, the Barbarian flourishes as well alone as
    in groups.

    The Barbarian is every bit as strong a fighter as a pure Fighter, and has that
    extra combative edge that many players look for in a Class.  Players who dislike
    subtelty and enjoy straight up hack-and-slash playing will enjoy the Barbarian's
    simple destructive style.
BARD
    Bards are traveling singers, whose "songs" can possess powerful magic.  They
    are highly desired group members for the inspiration they bring to their team
    members, and the great stings they provide to their enemies.  They possess the same
    weapon and armor restrictions as thieves, but also qualify for many thief skills.

    Bard is the basis for numerous sub-classes which the player may choose to gain
    levels in at any time.  These sub-classes include the Charlatan, Prancer, Minstrel,
    and the Jester.

    How to play: The great strength of the bard is in his wide assortment of
    skills, and in his powerful songs.  The bard may try his hand as the lonesome
    travellor, but will find his skills still put him behind his peers.  It is in the
    company of other, more powerful classes, that the bard will flourish. And because
    of the unique nature of his magic, and how his skills will always affect groups,
    that groups will always want to have a bard along.

    Bards are as weak as thieves in combat, and lack their general sneakiness, so
    in the company of others must the bard find his path to greatness, filling any
    skill gaps in almost any group with the appropriate magic or ability.
BEACON
    A beacon is where you recall to.  See help on the RECALL skill.
BEASTMASTER
    Like Tarzan or Grizzly Adams, the BeastMaster is the lord of his particular
    jungle, being both the guardian and master steward of the animal kingdom. Unlike
    the other druids then, the beastmaster takes great pride in his animal changing
    abilities, and receives many more animal forms as he progresses in level.  The
    beastmaster is also more accutely aware of the dangers of the wild, and is thus a
    much more physical and able fighter than other druids tend to me.

    How to play: The Beastmaster is the perfect loner druid class, though he is
    never truely alone with all the animals he can summon to his side. He also has
    numerous ways of enhancing his own innate fighting ability through magical chants,
    making him formidable even when adventuring without animal companions.
BLESSINGS
    Blessings are what a deity bestows upon you for performing the required ritual.
     Clerics receive all the blessings of their gods, while mere worshippers receive a
    random one.

BORROW
    Command : BORROW

    Example : borrow "500 archon notes" banker
    Short(s):
    When a banker is present in the same room or area as your character, this
    command will allow you to borrow money from that banker.  You must first have
    deposited enough items with the banker to provide sufficient collateral against
    your loan amount.  Money is thenceforth automatically withdrawn from your bank
    account every month to service the loan.  Failure to have enough money in your
    account to provide for the loan may result in your items being put up for sale by
    the banker. You should use the LIST command to review your account balance from
    time to time.
BRIEF
    Command : BREIF
    Usage   : BRIEF
    Example : brief
    Short(s):
    Toggles whether the room descriptions are shown as you move around. See also

    Short(s):
    Please use this command to submit bugs against CoffeeMud.
BURGLAR
    The burglar is the thief who has made the accumulation of wealth and power his
    center of being, to the detriment of all else.  The taking of the property of
    others by stealth, wits, or even charm makes him the bane of the rich and lawful
    alike.  This most purist of thieves also has superior skill at being undetected in
    the performance of these dastardly deeds, though he stands at a slight disadvantage
    to better trained thieves if caught.
BUY
    Command : BUY
    Usage   : BUY [ITEM NAME] ([SHOPKEEPER NAME]) (FOR [NAME])
    Example : buy sword
    Example : buy sword weaponsmith
    Example : buy sword weaponsmith for bob
    Short(s):
    When a shopkeeper is present in the same room or area as your character, this
    command will allow you to purchase an item from that shopkeeper.  The price for the
    item, as well as the availability of certain items can be determined by using the
    'LIST' command. If more than one shopkeeper is in the room, you may have to specify
    the shopkeeper name in the parameters.  You may also purchase items for someone
    else by adding the "for" syntax to the end of the command.
CAST
    Skill    : CAST
    Usage    : CAST [SPELL NAME] [TARGET NAME]
    Example  : cast sleep orc
    Short(s) : CA
    Mages, Rangers, and at later levels, Thiefs and Bards can invoke their magical
    abilities using the cast command.  Some spells require that you direct the spell at
    a target, while others only apply to the caster.  For help on a particular spell,
    enter help and then the name of the spell.

    followed by an @ sign and the name of an I3 mud as well.
CHARIOT
    A transport, usually ridden in battle, and pulled by one or more horses.
CHARISMA
    Grace, charm, and the ability to get better prices from merchants is reflected
    in Charisma.
CHARLATAN
    The Charlatan is the master of deception and disguise.  Grouped with the Bards
    because of his natural acting ability, as well as his highly social nature, the
    Charlatan can be quite antisocial if he chooses, and extremely annoying to other
    players almost without trying.

    How to play: The Charlatan is also a natural spy in muds with numerous players,
    and has an extremely wide assortment of skills.  More than any other class, the
    Charlatan can taste the powers of all other classes, sometimes with real skill, and
    sometimes only in seeming.  For this reason, the Charlatan is ideal for those who
    want a taste of all classes, or at least to seem like he is.  He is a natural group

CLANS
    Clans are a group of players banded together for some common purpose, or due to
    common lineage or fellowship.  Clans are created using the CLANCREATE command, and
    listed using CLANLIST.  Members apply to clans using CLANAPPLY, and are either
    accepted by the clan using CLANACCEPT or rejected using CLANREJECT, after listing
    the applicants names using CLANDETAILS. Bosses can set up autorejecting
    qualifications to the clan using CLANQUAL. Once accepted, members can be removed
    using CLANEXILE or promoted to other offices using CLANASSIGN.  Members can leave
    on their own using CLANNRESIGN. Offices like Treasurers can deal with special Clan
    bankers and postmen on their Clans behalf.  Members can cast "Clan Donate" to their
    clans after the boss has used CLANDONATESET to set a donation room for their clan.
    Members can share their experience points with the clan if the bosses have set up
    an experience tax rate using CLANTAX. Members also have access to the spell "Clan
    Home" which they can use to recall to the room set by the boss using CLANHOMESET.
    Clan activity is very important.  If the minimum number of members is not
    maintained, then pending or inactive clans may be deleted by the system. Once there
    are several active clans, the bosses may use CLANDECLARE to declare relations
    between their clan and others.  The bosses may also want to use CLANPREMISE to
    describe their clan.

    There are four different types of clans: CLAN, GUILD, UNION, and FELLOWSHIP.
    See the HELP entry for each of these clan types for more information.
CLANTAX
    Command : CLANTAX
    Usage   : CLANTAX
    Example : clantax
    Short(s):
    Allows the boss to set the percentage of member experience which is taken by

CLANVOTE

    Usage   : CLANVOTE
    Example : clanvote

    Command : CLANWHO
    Usage   : CLANWHO

CLAN_EQUIPMENT
    Clan Equipment is regular equipment that is enchanted with the power of a clan
    using up clan experience.  Weapons do additional damage when striking. Armor add
    resistances to the wearer.  Staves and wands gain magical powers to do damage to
    targets.  Shields will do magical damage against melee attackers. Be aware though -
    attempts at use by the wrong hands will disperse the magic. These affects can only
    be applied by the appointed clan enchanter with the right skills.
CLAN_EXP
    See the CLANTAX command for information on clan experience taxing.
CLAN_EXPERIENCE
    See the CLANTAX command for information on clan experience taxing.
CLASS
    Try HELP FIGHTER, THIEF, BARD, CLERIC, MAGE, APPRENTICE, or DRUID. For help on
    multi-classing, try HELP MULTICLASS.
CLERIC
    Clerics are the great vassals of the Gods.  Through them the wonders of both
    good and evil are possible.  Clerics possess great magical abilities in their
    numerous "prayers".  While their weapon choices are limited to their alignment,
    they may wear any type of armor.

    The Cleric is the general of priests, appeasing all the gods equally, or
    choosing to focus on one at his whim.  However, should the cleric wish to show true
    devotion, he can gain levels in specialist classes which may or may not be
    available to him, depending on his disposition. These classes include: Templar,
    Shaman, Doomsayer, Necromancer, Missionary, Purist, Healer, or Oracle.

    How to play: The first, last, and greatest strength of the good Cleric is in
    his ability to heal, just as the ability to harm aids the evil Cleric.  A Cleric is
    unique in his ability to flourish either alone or in groups, being moderately
    skilled in combat, and having the healing ability to last a long time in a tough
    fight.  Clerics are highly desired for groups, however, as the lead fighter in the
    group will want the Cleric's healing touch in battle.

    The only weakness of the Cleric is offensively, which the evil Cleric will make
    up for with harmful magic, and the good Cleric will compensate for with healing
    spells to last out the battle.  With a balanced approach, the Cleric can gain
    experience with the efficiency of a fighter.

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

CONJURER
    Conjurers are specialist mages who concentrate their studies in the mastery of
    movement.  They are adept at transporting themselves and other creatures, as well
    as items and entire armies with their powerful spells.  So adept are they at
    conjuration that they gain all known conjuration spells, including some which only
    the conjurers may understand.

    The Conjurer may lack Transmutation abilities, but he does not miss that
    strange magic.  After all, it's always better to be yourself, whereever you might
    find yourself.
CONQUEST
    One or more areas in the realm may be designated as conquerable by clans.

    To conquer an area, or even to discover if an area CAN be conquered, the clan
    must use the Clan Crafting skill to construct a clan Flag.  The Flag must then be
    dropped into any room in the area.  Doing so will tell you if the area is
    conquerable, who controls it if anyone, how many CONTROL POINTS are required to
    control the area, and how many control points any warring clans may presently have
    in the area.  An area not currently controlled by any clan may freely be conquered.
     An area already controlled by a clan may only be conquered by a rival clan if that
    clan has properly declared War.

    The clan Flag is the most important item in Conquest.  The Flag must be on the
    ground in order for any clan to score control points in an area, or to even
    maintain control once the area has been conquered.  If there is not at least one
    Flag on the ground, a conquered area will revert to neutral status.  Luckily, any
    resident citizens in the same room as a conquerer's flag will tend to guard the
    flag from thieves.  Also, Flags can only be removed by a member of the clan whose
    flag it is, or by a rival clan who has properly declared War.

    Once a flag has been laid down, the clan whose flag it is may LOOK at the flag
    at any time to see the status of their conquest; i.e. the number of control points
    they have scored, and how many they must score to complete the conquest.  A control
    point is scored whenever a resident mob of that area is killed, or forced (via
    charm or other methods) to follow a member of the conquering clan. Control points
    awarded are equal to the level of the mob killed or charmed. Control points will
    also fade over time, to reflect a restoration of order in the area.

    If an area is already under the control of a clan, the resident mobs will
    resist invasion by rivals.  Once an area is conquered, however, all resident mobs
    will instantly disavow any previous controlling clan, drop any clan items they may
    be carrying, and swear allegiance to the conquering clan.  At this point, any clan
    members who are designated as having conquerers privileges may ORDER any member of
    the area to do anything they like.  Control points become irrelevant to the
    conquerers once control is established.

    Clan members are unable to gain any experience points inside their own
    conquered areas.  However, anyone else gaining experience in a clan controlled area
    automatically pays the clans tax on their experience gain. This makes controlling a
    large number of areas very lucrative for clans.

    A conquered area benefits greatly from items created using Clan Crafting.
    These items can be crafted by a designated Enchanter, given sufficient materials
    and clan experience.  Clan items can be captured for additional clan experience by
    rival clans who have properly declared war. The types and functions of clan items
    include:

    Book of the Laws - These must be constructed inside the area for which the book
    is intended.  It will allow a properly privileged clan member to read and modify
    numerous aspects of law and order in the area, including the location of jails, the
    types of laws, and the duration of punishments. A Law Book must be read by clan
    member authorized to change law before the Guardbanner and Gavel below will begin
    working.

    Guardbanner - These can be given to mobs in a conquered area to designate them
    as deputys of the area, who are authorized to enforce laws and arrest lawbreakers.

    Judges Gavel - This can be given to a mob in a conquered area to designate him
    as the judge of the area, authorizing him to deal out punishments like parole, jail
    time, or death.

    Donation List - This item should be placed inside the official Donation Room
    for a clan.  If this is done, the list will automatically grow to include every
    single addition and removal.

    Pamphlet - These can be given to mobs conquered by RIVAL clans to make them
    disloyal to the conquering clan. Pamphlets will have a tendency to spread over
    time. Pamphlet holders will also drop any rival clan items they have, which hurts
    control.

    Shop Apron - These can be given to mobs conquered by your clan, or to mobs
    permanently stationed at your clan home.  They turn the mob into a shopkeeper, who
    will sell things in their shop inventory, and buy things as their coinage allows.
    They can be GIVEN things to sell by clan members in proper authority over them.
    They will not deal with clans with whom your clan is hostile or at war.

    Membership Card - These can be given to mobs conquered by your clan to make
    them utterly loyal to your clan.  Mobs with membership cards will never accept
    Pamphlets, and will take them away if they are offered any.

    Gathering items - Items such as the Miners Pick and Lumberjacks Saw can be
    given to mobs to make them work for the clan, performing the Common skill
    associated with the item.  If the mobs with these items are also Mobile, they may
    also carry their resources to other mobs in the same area who need their resources
    in order to use their Crafting items.  Firebuilders are especially good at this
    task, as they will carry wood they find to smiths and light the fires that the
    smiths need to shape the metals.

    Crafting items - Items such as the Tailors Needle and Potters Wheel can be
    given to mobs to make them craft items for the clan, performing the Common skill
    associated with the item.  These mobs can be given example items to use as
    templates for what they will attempt to make, or they can be given nothing to make
    them craft items at random.  For the skill to work, the mob must not have anything
    in its inventory to confuse the skill, such as a Blacksmith item holder carrying
    some smurfberries.  Also, the holder must have the correct resource and sufficient
    quantity in the room to work from, although, they may receive assistance gaining
    the resources they need from mobs with Gathering Items.

    Executioners Scales - This item makes the mob a tenacious attacker of evil
    creatures and thieves.

    Assassins Eye - This item makes the mob a tenacious attacker of good creatures
    and paladins.

    Scavengers Sticker - This item makes the mob a scavenger, picking anything up
    they find on the ground.

    Tax Collectors Clipboard - This item makes the mob a collector of tax money
    from anyone who is not also a member of their clan.

    See also Clan Crafting.

DEITY
    A Deity is a god.  See the DEITIES command.
DELVER
    The Delver is a stolid druid of caves and the underdark, being the guardian of
    the rocks and stone and the cold caverns of the deep.  The Delver is unconcerned
    with plants or the sky or the doings of the weather, or any of the creatures that
    live upon it, relying rather on the solid earth to draw his power from.  For this
    reason, the Delver is particularly at home among the rocks, and is able to call
    upon them to aid him at need.

    How to play: The Delver requires little in the way of precasting or planning,
    so long as he stays in cave or rocky environments.  He is able to instantly call
    upon the rocks and stones to help him in combat, and is friend to golems and stone
    creatures.  For this reason, the Delver is better able to fit into groups who wish
    to adventure in the mountains and the underground, and can be a valuable leader
    when its time to enter the deep dark.

DIVINER
    Diviners are specialist mages who have mastered the arts of unconvering
    secrets, and obtaining knowledge.  The entire world is an open book for them, just
    waiting for the pages to be turned.  So adept do these mages become at divination
    that they gain all known divination spells, including some which are even secrets
    to the other mages!

    The Diviner's love of knowledge means he loses the knack of casting spells of
    illusion.  However, they make up for this by being the most popular of advisors and
    group members when strange and amazing treasures are uncovered, or some secret
    needs to be told.
DOOMSAYER
    Doomsayers are very special servants of the gods, whose proclaimations of fire
    and brimstone give them resistance to fire attacks, as well as special powers
    controlling it.  The Doomsayer is an evil aligned class, meaning that he will
    always fumble on good prayers, and does not qualify for good prayers.  However, the
    Doomsayer can use many dangerous edged weapons, any kind of armor, and gets
    numerous special prayers that only the doomsayer can claim.

    How to play: The Doomsayer is easily the most wicked, cruel, and hated of all
    the Clerics.  He is also the most social of the evil clerics, being a clear rival
    to the Healer.  He is best played as a loner in cities, bringing the wrath of his
    God wherever he goes.

    such as a river. Drinking is necessary to remove the "You are thirsty" messages.

DROP
    Command : DROP

DROW
    Drow are the dark cousins to elves.  Their existence living underground had
    radiated their bodies with dark magic and give them advantages in the cold, dark
    world.  However, they hurt plenty when exposed to light.  They have the ability to
    see in the dark, and can prove to be fiercesome fighters.  All Drow start off with
    the ability to cast darkness and faerie fire.
DRUID
    Druids are mystical guardians of the natural world, and the wielders of natures
    grandest powers.  They may not wear metal, and can only use a small set of natural
    weapons, but their notorious health and magical chants more than make up for this.
    Like the natural world, Druids are restricted to a neutral alignment.

    Druid is the starting point for numerous sub-classes which the player may
    choose to gain levels in at any time.  These sub-classes include: Delver,
    Beastmaster, Gaian, and SkyWatcher.

    How to play: The druid is the most complex class to play.  Most of his magic
    requires the assistance of numerous spells to bear fruit, but the benefits make the
    complexity well worth it.  The druid is also best fit for travelling with animal
    armies of his own creation.  In groups, the druid can assist with some extra fire
    power at high levels.  For the most part though, it is alone that the druid will
    flourish, forming his own animal groups to make up for his weakness in combat.

    Although weak in melee combat, due to equipment and skill limitations, the
    druid is capable of marshaling all the powers of animals and plants to aid in the
    vanquishing of foes for experience.  At higher levels, as the powers of weather
    come into play, the Druid will find their magical prowess unequaled by any other
    class.

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

    Enchanters love change so much that they neglect the protective magic of
    abjuration, and find themselves unable to use that magic.  However, the Enchanter
    does not fear the snake's poison, or the dragon's breath, especially when he can
    snap his fingers and make them both his pets!

    Evokers are so impatient to create from nothing that they have neglected the
    study of the alteration of already existing things, and will find themselves unable

    mages, death in both fingers, and is envied by all for his power.

FIGHTER
    Fighters are brutish weapon masters, skilled in the art of killing.  They may
    specialize in any weapon type, and learn numerous new fighting techniques as they
    advance in level.  Fighters receive more hit points and attack bonuses per level
    than any other class, and are invaluable in a close melee.

    Fighter is the starting point for numerous sub-classes which the player may
    choose to gain levels in at any time.  These sub-classes include: Monk, Ranger,
    Paladin, and Barbarian.

    How to play: The fighters strength is in his domination of pure combat. When
    playing alone, a fighter is fully capable of gaining the necessary experience.
    However, the fighter may choose to lead a group to gain an even greater advantage.
    As the tank (primary melee combatant) in a group, the fighter will give the group
    the benefit of his superior armor and fighting skill, while benefitting from the
    healing spells of a cleric, or the magical aids of a mage.

    The fighters greatest weakness is his inability to move secretly, or get into
    or out of tricky spots.  For this reason, the fighter outside of a group should
    steer towards simple combat areas, and be content only with the treasures obtains
    from his kills.
FILL
    Command : FILL
    Usage   : FILL [CONTAINER NAME] ([DRINK SOURCE])
    Example : fill bottle spring
    Short(s):
    Attempts to refill a liquid container, such as a bottle or a cup, from the
    given source.  In many cases, containers can be refilled from other containers.  If
    no source is specified, and the player is at a source of fresh water, then the fill
    will occur from the freshwater source.
FIRE
    Command : FIRE
    Usage   : FIRE ([MOB NAME])_
    Example : fire larry
    Short(s):
    A placeholder for the ability to tell a mob that their services are no longer
    requested.
FLEE
    Command : FLEE
    Usage   : FLEE ([DIRECTION])
    Example : flee
    Short(s):
    While in combat, your character may need to quickly disengage and flee the
    room.  A direction may be specified, but if one is not specified, a direction will
    be chosen for you.  Fleeing from combat can cause you to lose experience points in
    many cases, so use this command sparingly.  If all of your opponents are asleep,
    paralyzed, or bound, however, no loss is recorded for using this command.
FOLLOW
    Command : FOLLOW
    Usage   : FOLLOW [MOB NAME]
    Example : follow gunther
    Short(s): FOL
    In order to form adventuring groups, one or more characters may choose to
    follow a leader character.  The leader then becomes the group leader, and is able
    to lead his or her followers around the map without their intervention.  Followers
    may also come to the defence of a leader who is attacked, or who attacks another
    MOB.  Lastly, leaders have the privilege of the ORDER command, to keep the
    followers in line.  The number of followers one may have depends upon their
    Charisma score.

    Use FOLLOW SELF to stop following someone else.
    To force a follower to stop following you, use ORDER <MOBNAME> follow self

    See also GROUP, NOFOLLOW, ORDER, FORMATION, and GTELL.
FORMATION
    Command : FORMATION
    Usage   : FORMATION ([MOB NAME] [ROW NUMBER])
    Example : formation
    Example : formation joe 2
    Short(s):
    When a player has followers, this command can be used to show where in the
    group order the player is located.  The "front line" is considered row 0. The lead
    player must always be on a row ahead or on the same row as his followers. When
    formations are used in conjunction with AUTOMELEE, it can effectively aid archers
    and mages with ranged spells in battle.  The range of the group members in
    formation, with respect to enemies, is always relative to the initial range of the
    lead player in combat.  That is to say, if a group member is set to be at row #1,
    and the leader uses a bow to start off at range 3, then that group member will be
    at row #4 instead (1 off from the leaders position).
    Any member of a group can enter the FORMATION command without parameters to
    view the current marching order. See also GROUP, FOLLOW, NOFOLLOW, ORDER, and
    GTELL.

    Short(s):
    This command allows the player to add or remove names from his or her friends
    list.  The friends list consists of some number of other players by name.  Names on
    this list are subject to the AUTONOTIFY command, and are also filterable with the
    WHO command.
GAIAN
    The Gaian is the druid of the green earth, watching over the plants, trees and
    all growing things.  The gaian has a very special relationship with the plants and
    trees, having special abilities to make almost any location he steps into a
    sanctuary for his leafed friends.  So in tune with green things is the gaian that
    sunlight can actually give his green tinted skin additional powers.  The gaian can
    also call on the plants and trees around him to aid in him combat, to hide him from
    foes, or even to provide him with the things one would normally have to seek
    civilization for.

    How to play: The Gaian, so long as he stays around green plants, is a
    formidable foe to all enemies of nature.  The gaian can call all aspects of the
    plants to his aid, and can always find sanctuary in the green plants during times
    of trouble.  The gaian is weak in native combat abilities, like the other druids,
    but can make up for it with creative pre-casting, and good use of the power of
    nature during combat.
GAIN
    Command : GAIN
    Usage   : GAIN [SPELL NAME]
    Example : gain blunt specialization
    Short(s):
    Gain is a command, supported in most DikuMUD derivatives, which allows you to
    gain new abilities from certain kinds of mobs capable of teaching them.  In
    CoffeeMud, *anyone* can TEACH an ability to another, provided the student is
    qualified to learn. However, since there are a few MOBs in CoffeeMud with the
    MOBTrainer behavior, it should be noted that, so long as the request is phrased as
    a SAY command, this command will still work.
GAOLER
    The Gaoler (pronounced like Jailer), is the ancient dungeon keeper.  He
    specializes in those implements and activities which reflect the worst and most
    sadistic side of human nature.  Although not much use as an adventurer, a player
    with a Gaoler background can be a valuable member of a clan, or a man-for-hire.
GCONSIDER
    Command : GCONSIDER
    Usage   : GCONSIDER [MOB NAME]
    Example : gconsider dragon
    Short(s):
    Sizes up a monster or character against your group, so that you can determine
    whether a fight with such a creature is wise, or just a waste of time.  Unlike
    consider, this command will take into account the damage which your entire group
    will do against the creature, while limiting the creatures return attacks only
    against the leader of your group.

GUILD
    See the help entry on CLANS for more generic clan information.
    Organization type: GUILD

    The Guild is run by several elite members called Guildmasters.  These
    guildmasters reserve many tasks for themselves, though they must often vote amongst
    themselves on matters affecting the good of the whole clan.  The guild is very
    hierarchical, so that those with rank above the others may use the ORDER command to
    those below to maintain discipline.  They may also assign a treasurer to help them
    handle money, though like the CLAN, the masters of the guild also reserve that
    authority as well.

HALFELF
    Half Elves are a mixture of humans and elves, possing human drive and elven
    grace.  They have Infravision, are skilled Fishermen, and have almost as many class
    choices as normal Humans.
HALFLING
    Halflings are a very short fur-footed folk.  They receive one bonus Dexterity
    point, but lose one point of Strength.  They have Infravision, make excellent
    Cooks, though their class choices will be limited.
HEALER
    Healers project the most benevolent aspects of their gods by bringing life and
    good health to those around them.  The Healer is so adept at these arts that his or
    her healing prayers are more powerful than those cast by any other cleric.  The
    Healer is a good aligned class, meaning that he will always fumble on evil prayers,
    and does not qualify for evil prayers.  The Healer also gets a few special prayers
    known only to the Healer, including the great Aura of Healing at 30th level.

    How to play: More than any other cleric, the Healer is a most desirable group
    member.  There is no ailment, no weakness, no problem almost that the Healer can
    not cure through the power of his god.  In the heat of battle, or in the periods in
    between, the Healer is a valued friend to those who take the brunt of battle.  The
    Healer can also try it alone if he likes, if he is willing to use patience and
    plenty of cure spells to outlast his opponents.
HELP
    Command : HELP
    Usage   : HELP [COMMAND NAME]
    Example : help commands

    system.  Each command is broken into five parts.
    Command : Shows you the proper command name.
    Usage   : Shows you the formal usage information.  Words in

    Example : help pray
    Short(s):
    Shows you a list of all help entries matching the given string pattern.
HIDDEN
    How well your character is hidden from sight.  This score appears when hiding,
    or when under the affect of a spell which conceals you from sight. It is based on
    your Dexterity, profficiency in your hiding skill/spell, and your height.
HIRE
    Command : HIRE
    Usage   : HIRE ([MOB NAME])_
    Example : hire larry
    Short(s):

HITCH
    See the MOUNT command for how to hitch a wagon to a horse.

    free hands for holding.  Some items only work when they are being held.
HOMES
    Players may purchase and develop property of their own to serve as their online
    home away from home.

    The first step in this process is for the player to find a property that is for
    sale.  Such properties will typically include a message such as "This lot is for
    sale.".  After finding such a property, the player should enter LOOK ID to discover
    the properties unique lot number identifier.  Write this down!

    The next step is to find the local Property dealer for that area.  He shouldn't
    be too far away!  Some property dealers deal in player property, and some only deal
    with Clans.  Make sure you find the right one to buy your lot from.  When the
    property dealer is found, you can use your lot number to purchase the correct lot
    from the dealer.

    Once the property is purchased, you will need to develop it.  Skills such as
    Masonry, Construction, and Locksmithing are used to develop the properties you
    purchase.  If you don't have these skills, or don't want them, you might be able to
    find mobs nearby which you may HIRE to perform these tasks.

    receive 2 bonus training points at first level, make powerful lumberjacks.  Humans
    also have the broadest class choices.
HUNGER
    From time to time, your character may get hungry.  If this happens, then you
    should find something to eat to satiate that hunger. Failing to do so will affect
    your characters attack and defensive capabilities, and may eventually lead to
    death.  If you were looking for help on the Spell Hunger, try HELP SPELL HUNGER.

ILLUSIONIST
    Illusionists are specialist mages who have mastered the art of deception and
    illusion.  They can make anyone believe anything, and can fool the senses into
    believing whatever they wish.  Illusionists are sly and playful, and so adept at
    their art that they gain all known illusion spells, even those known only to
    illusionists.

    So lost in their dreamworld is the Illusionist, that he forgets what is true,
    and finds himself unable to remember his divination spells.  However, the
    Illusionist is the greatest and most fun of the social mages, with a nice mix of
    defensive magic that can save him in times of need.

    your system.  Enter IMC2 by itself for a list of available commands.  For more

JAIL
    Where you are taken when a judge pronounces a jail sentence as penance for a
    crime committed.  See also COURT and JUSTICE.
JESTER
    The Jester is the joking, annoying, and sneaky fellow that few Bards like to
    claim.  Like the Charlatan, they remain associated with Bards due to their highly
    social nature and their charismatic attitudes.  The Jester is also amazingly
    dextrous and slippery, due to the slapstick style of maneuvers he practices and
    specializes in.

    How to play: As the levels progress, however, few could argue the seriousness
    of the Jesters power, should his goofy smile, for some reason, be turned around.
    The Jester is still, clearly, a group player.  He needs the strong tanking of
    fighters, and other support classes to flourish, though he can still hold his own
    if he manages not to take life too seriously.
JOBS
    See the HIRE command.

    opposite the door, and many rooms into a large indoor area.

    lamp, either use the FIRE BUILDING skill, or just hold the lamp to automatically
    light it.  Lamps must periodically be refilled with lamp oil using the FILL
    command.

    Command : LANGUAGES
    Usage   : LANGUAGES

MAGE
    Mages are masters of magic, and wielders of the great elemental powers.  While
    weak in hit points and in fighting skill, their spells are the most widely prized
    and powerful of all the classes.  They may not wear any metal or leather armors, or
    use most weapons.  However, the sting of their magic missiles and the armor of
    magic they wear makes up for any loss.

    Mage is the basis for numerous sub-classes which the player may choose to gain
    levels in at any time.  These sub-classes include: Abjurer, Alterer, Conjurer,
    Diviner, Enchanter, Evoker, Illusionist, and Transmuter.

    How to play: Mages are easily the most versatile of classes, being able to make
    spell choices which carve out the path the Mage would like to take.  For the loner
    Mage, the emphasis on offensive magic will make him a powerful opponent in battle.
    In groups, the mage may focus on protective magic to make him a more desirable
    companion.  And even the playful mage may focus on the role-playing magic to make
    his mudding as fun as possible!

    The mage is almost useless in weapon combat.  The mage must be smart and
    creative to use his spells to give him the edge.  But the versatility of the mage
    gives him the ability to do just that, using magic and guile to trick monsters to
    their death, granting experience for the mage.
MANA
    The amount of energy your character has to use on skills, prayers, spells,
    songs, or chants.  This number will go up as your character advances in level.
    Resting will replenish lost mana.

    If you entered HELP MANA expecting help on the "Song of Mana", try HELP SONG
    MANA.
ME
    A name I call myself.
MEMBERS
    See help on CLANS, CLAN, GUILD, UNION, THEOCRACY, or FELLOWSHIP
MINSTREL
    The Minstrel is the master of instruments and musical tools.  So capable is a
    minstrel in this art that he or she is able to draw forth magical and wonderous
    powers from the instruments played.  The Minstrel is able to craft and draw unique
    powers from any of dozens of different musical instruments, with the only drawback
    being how the chosen instrument impacts fighting or speaking ability while it is
    being played.

    How to play: The Minstrel is as social of a bard as the others, but due to his
    many hours of lonely practice, the Minstrel also has an almost arcane like ability
    to use instrumental magic for more solitary or unique benefits than the simple Bard
    or Prancer.  In the end, the Minstrel may become an orchestra of power unto
    himself, capable of bringing tremendous benefit and joy to his group, or terrible
    retribution to his foes.  Therefore, if a player is looking for a bard to play when
    groups are not available, this is the one to pick.
MISSIONARY
    Missionaries are the crusading adventurers for the gods, exploring and
    spreading the good word of their deity far and wide.  So energetic and mobile are
    the Missionaries that they seem like the wind, and in fact gain many powers of wind
    and electricity.  The Missionary is a neutral aligned class.

    How to play: Although Missionaries can flourish with other missionaries, they
    do their best work alone, bringing the word of their god, as well as his wrath when
    necessary, to the unwashed masses.  Missionaries will sometimes be asked to join
    groups so as to deliver some of that "olde-tyme neutral punch", and can even be
    useful to them if he strikes a careful balance with the good and evil prayers he
    qualifies for.
MONEY
    Money is represented in gold coins.  You spend them with shopkeepers. You may
    also have bank notes.  LOOKing at one of the notes will show you their value in
    gold coins.
MONK
    Monks are the agile and graceful masters of their own bodies.  Combining quick
    reflexes with intense study of the martial arts makes them a powerful and
    intimidating opponent.  Although Monks may use weapons, most of their power and
    unique ability comes when they are completely unarmed.  And since they depend so
    heavily on their agility, they will find themselves wearing only light cloth
    armors.

    How to play: Either alone or in groups, the Monk is a dizzying class to play.
    Capable of more pure attacks than any other class, and loaded down with dozens of
    Monk-specific physical feats makes the Monk almost mage-like in complexity.  In
    fact, the player who loathes worrying about staying up-to-date on equipment, but
    who enjoys the pure fight may be especially attracted to Monk.

    Like all fighters, the Monk will gain experience principally through the
    vanquishing of foes.  Although the armor restriction can seem daunting, the Monks
    extra dexterity bonus to armor, and the wide variety of attacks and defences makes
    them every bit as powerful (if not much more) than the other fighter classes.
MORGUE
    The place where ones body is when one dies.
MOTD
    Command : MOTD (AGAIN)
    Usage   : MOTD
    Example : motd
    Short(s):
    Toggles whether or not you see the message of the day when you log in to the
    mud.  Use the AGAIN parameter to view the message again.
MOUNT
    Command : MOUNT
    Usage   : MOUNT [RIDEABLE NAME] ([RIDEABLE NAME])
    Example : mount horse
    Example : mount cart horse
    Short(s): ride
    Your character attempts to mount a horse, or other rideable creature, carriage,
    boat, or item.  Once mounted, the creature can be navigated around by use of the
    normal N,S,E,W navigation commands.  Some rideables may also be mounted on others,
    such as a cart or wagon that must be pulled. See also DISMOUNT, LEAVE, BOARD. Bound
    creatures can be mounted onto beds or chairs against their will with this command
    also.
MOVEMENT
    The amount of energy your character has to use on moving around, using movement
    based skills, or retreating in combat.  This number will go up as your character
    advances in level.  Resting will replenish lost movement.
MUD
    Stands for Multi-User Dungeon.  It's also a common word for dirt saturated with
    water.
MULTICLASS
    Each class was designed to reach it's peak of gainable skills at level 30.
    Changing to another class is done by going to your respective guild and training in
    the class of your choice. The classes you can become are listed when you type
    QUALIFY.  Changing to another class is done using the TRAIN command.

    When multiclassing, always keep in mind the classes you want to become and how
    far you would want to go in them. Some classes affect others in a negative way. If
    you plan to get to level 30 with three subclasses, train in the first before your
    first level of the game. This ensures level 30 status with all the classes.

    Just keep track of how far you feel like taking each class, whether it is to a
    certain skill or to it's full potention. It is not required, but can add a
    dimension to playing.
MXP
    Command : MXP
    Usage   : MXP
    Example : mxp
    Short(s):
    Turn on MXP (MUD Exchange Protocol) tags.  This command will auto-detect
    whether your client supports the tags by sending the <VERSION> tag.
NECROMANCER
    Necromancers are the dark lovers of death and the dead, serving the gods in
    this special and little appreciated realm.  The Necromancer is an evil aligned
    class, meaning that he will always fumble on good prayers, and does not qualify for
    good prayers.  However, the Necromancer can use many dangerous edged weapons, any
    kind of armor, and gets numerous special prayers known only to the Necromancer,
    such as the ability to animate all kinds of wicked undead, even at low levels.
    Eventually, the Necromancer may even become a Lich himself!

    How to play: Unlike most clerics, the Necromancer is not a good group player.
    He does best alone with the friends he "makes" out of the dearly departed. The
    necromancer is hated in towns, and may even be arrested if he brings his undead
    "friends" to town for a visit.  If the Necromancer keeps his charisma high, he can
    lead a truely formidable army before which all others will surely tremble.

    Example : nofollow
    Example : nofollow my dog
    Short(s):
    When used without a parameter, this command toggles whether or not your
    character will accept followers.  This is also an effective way to get rid of all
    existing followers.  When a name is specified, this command causes a follower of
    that name to no longer follow you.  See also GROUP, FOLLOW, FORMATION, ORDER, and
    GTELL

    areas, you may have to find a standing board, or a journal you can carry around. If
    you wish to leave a note for a player who isn`t online, see JOURNAL.
OBSERVATION_SCORE
    Your ability to see hidden things.  This score appears when searching, or when
    under the affect of a spell which allows you to see hidden. It has based on your
    Wisdom, profficiency in your detection skill/spell, and your height.

    Usage   : OPEN [ITEM/DIRECTION NAME]
    Example : open chest
    Example : open door
    Example : open east
    Short(s):
    Attempts to open, by ordinary means, the item, door,  or any other entity
    specified.
ORACLE
    Oracles are those who seek the infinite wisdom of their god, forver probing the
    vastness of divine knowledge.  So knowledgable are the Oracles that they actually
    begin to gain arcane divination spells in addition to their assortment of prayers.
    The Oracle, being a seeker of truth and knowledge, is a good aligned class, meaning
    that they will always fumble evil prayers, and do not qualify for them.  Beyond
    30th level, the Oracle begins to gain skills from other classes previously unknown
    to him, as the mysteries of the universe begin to be revealed.

    How to play: The Oracle is an often consulted player, much like the Arcane
    diviner, for his ability to see beyond the obvious to the important truths around
    him.  For this reason, the Oracle may be often picked for grouping.  The Oracle
    himself, however, will need to determine if such a course is divinely inspired.
ORDER
    Command : ORDER
    Usage   : ORDER
    Example : order dog flee
    Short(s):
    If your character has any followers, whether characters or mobs, this command
    will allow you to force that follower to perform any command listed in the COMMANDS
    or SOCIALS list. See also GROUP, FOLLOW, NOFOLLOW, FORMATION, and GTELL.
OUTFIT
    Command : OUTFIT
    Usage   : OUTFIT

    death), this command will give your character some newbie equipment to get by with.
PACKAGE
    Command : PACKAGE
    Usage   : PACKAGE [NUMBER] [ITEM NAMES]
    Example : package 10 daggers
    Example : package all bottles
    Short(s):
    This command packages together several identical items.  Thus grouped, the
    items may be easier to sell to shopkeepers and easier to carry.  The items must all
    be exactly the same.  Currency may not be packaged.  Raw resources, such as wood or
    ore metals, may be packaged, but will not then be available for use by crafting
    skills.  To do that, you would need to bundle the resources instead.  Items can be
    removed from packages using the GET [NUMBER] FROM [PACKAGE] syntax.
PAROLE
    Parole is a sentence someone receives instead of jail time.  A player that is
    paroled may not leave the area, and is restricted from Recall and other similar
    spells for the duration of the parole.  A paroled player may not flee combat.

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

    Use HELP CLAN to get information on Clan Politics
POLL
    Command : POLL
    Usage   : POLL
    Example : poll
    Short(s):
    Lists any polls that the player can participate in, or view the results of.
POPPING_NOISE
POUR
    Command : POUR
    Usage   : POUR [DRINK SOURCE] [CONTAINER NAME]
    Example : pour spring bottle
    Example : pour waterskin bottle
    Example : pour bottle out
    Short(s):
    Attempts to refill a liquid container, such as a bottle or a cup, from the
    given source.  In many cases, containers can be refilled from other containers.

    ritual.  Clerics receive a random power of their god.

    Command : PRACTICE
    Usage   : PRACTICE [SKILL OR SPELL NAME] ([TEACHER MOB NAME])
    Example : practice sneak Horice
    Short(s):
    Once your character has acquired some skill or spell, the only way to increase
    the proficiency of your ability is to practice it.  A skill or spell can only be
    practiced with those characters or mobs who already know the skill or spell
    sufficiently.  You must also have at least 1 practice point to practice a skill or
    spell.
PRACTICES
    Practice points are used to improve skills, spells, prayers, chants, or songs.
    They may also be spent on certain new skills.  Use the SKILLS, SONGS, PRAYERS,
    CHANTS, or SPELLS commands to see what skills you may practice.  Use the QUALIFY
    command to see what skills you may gain.

    Skills are improved by going to a player or mob that knows the skill you wish
    to improve, and then using the PRACTICE command.  See HELP PRACTICE for more
    information on how to use this command to improve skills.
PRANCER
    The Prancer is the graceful master of dance, who entertains and leads others in
    the joyous and powerful maneuvers of his craft.  Like the Bard, the Prancer is a
    highly desired group member for his "group affecting" skills, which include the
    magical dances in which he specializes.

    How to play: Due to his weak fighting skill, the Prancer will likely look to
    groups for his primary advancement, much like the other bards.  Prancers also gain
    a select set of powerful fighter skills to prove the worth of their diligence in
    maintaining his body.  This makes them valuable group members, even without their
    powerfully enhancing dances.
PRAY
    Skill    : PRAY
    Usage    : PRAY [PRAYER NAME] [TARGET NAME]
    Example  : pray cure light orc
    Short(s) : PR

    the pray command.  Some prayers require that you direct the energy at a target,
    while others only apply to the cleric.  For help on a particular prayer, enter help
    and then the name of the prayer.
PRAYERS
    Command : PRAYERS
    Usage   : PRAYERS ([LEVEL])
    Example : prayers

PULL
    Command : PULL
    Usage   : PULL [ITEM NAME]/[MOB NAME] [DIRECTION]
    Example : pull door
    Example : pull orc east
    Short(s):
    Gives a hard pull on an item or any other entity specified. A target mob must
    be bound to be pulled successfully without resistance.
PURGE
    If you wish to destroy your character, use the RETIRE command.  If you wish to
    purge something else, and you are an Archon, use the DESTROY command.
PURIST
    Purists are the idyllic representatives of the goodness of divinity.  They are
    so strict in their goodness that they seem to many cold and unyielding. This nature
    is so ingrained, in fact, that the purist gains many cold and cold-based attacks
    and defensive prayers.  This includes special powers over water and purity.  The
    Purist is a good aligned class, meaning that he always fumble evil prayers.

    How to play: The Purist is a wonderfully social cleric, though only in the
    sense that he is often found with other people.  His strict unyielding prayers can
    sometimes get annoying glances from group members, though the Purist should remain
    resolute in his convictions that he is right.  Overall, the Purist is a good
    balanced cleric who can hold his own, as well as a valued group member (so long as
    he keeps his mouth shut).
PUSH
    Command : PUSH
    Usage   : PUSH [ITEM NAME]/[MOB NAME] [DIRECTION]

    Example : qualify skills
    Short(s): qual
    Lists all of the skills, spells, languages, prayers, and/or songs which your
    character presently qualifies for, but does not know, along with the requirements
    to gain the new skill.  You can use the parameter (spells, songs, chants, etc) to
    get a more focused list.
QUALITY_CRAFTING
    The ability to craft items of the highest quality.  See the help for "Quality
    Crafting I", "Quality Crafting II", and "Quality Crafting III" for details.
QUESTCHAT
    QUESTCHAT is the default Questing channel for CoffeeMud.  If you see someone,
    especially a non-player mob, chatting on this channel, it is likely because he is
    announcing the beginning of a quest.
QUESTS
    Quests are tasks which can be completed by players for prizes, typically quest
    points, experience, money, or all three.  Some quests are driven by Archons, while
    others are automated by the system.  See also QUESTCHAT and QUESTWINS.  Archons
    should enter AHELP QUESTS for more information on creating automated quests.
QUESTWINS
    Command : QUESTWINS
    Usage   : QUESTWINS
    Example : questwins
    Short(s):
    Lists which of the existing Quests you are listed as having won.  Having a
    quest on this list does not necessarily mean you can not complete it again, but
    usually it does.
QUEST_POINTS
    Quest Points, gained through completing quests, can be spent with special
    shopkeepers who exist for this purpose.
QUIET
    Command : QUIET
    Usage   : QUIET
    Example : quiet
    Short(s):
    Turns off all global channels, such as GOSSIP, GRATZ, and others. To turn them
    back on, you may issue the GOSSIP, GRATZ command agin, or reissue the QUIET command
    to turn them all back on.
QUIT
    Command : QUIT
    Usage   : QUIT
    Example : quit
    Short(s):
    Exit from CoffeeMud.
RACE
    Try HELP DROW, DWARF, ELF, GNOME, HALFELF, HALFLING, or HUMAN.
RANGE
    When combat is initiated, CoffeeMud will instantly determine the distance
    between the two combatants.  The initial distance will be based on the size of the
    room the players are in, and the maximum range of the weapon or spell used by the
    initiator of combat.  If either combatant is in a group, the initial distance of
    the group members from their combatant will be based on their formation (see
    FORMATION) if one was specified.

    During combat, if a combatant is out of range of their primary weapon, they
    will automatically advance towards their opponent until they are within the minimum
    range of their primary weapon. If a combatant has AUTOMELEE turned *off*, however,
    they will do the opposite -- they will not advance if they are out of range, but
    WILL spend actions retreating if they are too close to their opponent (outside the
    minimum range of their weapon).  AUTOMELEE should therefore be turned on for
    fighters who use melee weapons and need to make sure they constantly advance, and
    should be turned off for mages using ranged spells, or users of ranged weapons like
    bows.
RANGER
    Rangers are noted primarily for their ability to track their friends and
    enemies, though their knowledge of the natural world has also given them great
    magical strength.  They are a cross between the fighter and the druid, gaining
    druid chants at higher levels, and numerous fighting techniques.

    How to play: Rangers can provide a unique opportunity for experience
    advancement in a mud.  Their combat skills make them desirable as group members as
    tanks. Their ability to use scrolls gives them access to magic that grants them
    some of the mages versatility.  Meanwhile, the druidic chants they learn gives them
    a unique affinity with animals, allowing them to form their own groups as well.

    The Ranger, like the Paladin, is not quite as strong a fighter as a pure
    fighter, but makes up for this using his magical animal affinity.  Also, the Ranger
    will have to be careful to maintain a neutral alignment in order for the druidic
    chants to become useful.  In the meantime, the ranger must use scrolls and other
    magical items to supplement his natural fighting skill.
READ
    Command : READ
    Usage   : READ ([SPELL] [TARGETS]) (MESSAGE#) (ALL) (NEW) [ITEM NAME]
    Example : read sign
    Example : read "magic missile" orc scroll
    Example : read 1 cork board
    Example : read all corkboard
    Example : read new corkboard
    Example : read all new corkboard
    Short(s):
    Attempts to read, by ordinary means, the item, door, journal, or any other
    entity specified.  For scrolls, you may specify a particular spell to read off of
    the scroll, thus invoking it.  For scrolls with only one spell, you do not need to
    specify the spell name.  Scroll require that the "Read Magic" spell be cast on them
    before they may be invoked.  For journals (note areas), you can either not specify
    a message number to list all messages, or specify the message number as the second
    parameter in order to read a particular message.  You can also specify the all flag
    to see older listings, or the new flag to only see new activity entries.
REBUKE
    Command : REBUKE
    Usage   : REBUKE [MOB NAME]
    Example : rebuke brutus
    Short(s):
    This command allows your character to stop serving a liege, or to cause a
    vassal serving you or a follower to no longer do so.  If you are rebuking a vassal,
    they must be in the same room.  If you are rebuking your liege, or a follower, you
    need only enter their full name.  This command can also be used to stop worshiping
    a deity.  See the SERVE command and the CONVERT skill.
RELIGION
    The worship of the gods not only has a role playing aspect to it, but can have
    tangible benefits for players as well.

    The DEITIES command may be used to list the gods, and to learn about the
    blessings given by and the rituals demanded by each deity. Once a player is a
    worshipper of a deity, they may use the rituals to receive one of the listed
    blessings.  Gods may have alignment or other requirements which, if broken, can
    bring their wrath down upon those they rebuke.

    To worship a deity, the player must find a Cleric who can use the CONVERT skill
    to convert the player to the worship of their deity.  Clerics may use the CONVERT
    skill to change their own deity at any time, though they will suffer a severe
    penalty when they abandon their previous deity.

    See also the help for CONVERT, SERVICES, BLESSINGS, and RITUALS.
REMORT
    Remorting requires careful planning and, if you don't have the benefits of
    certain Druidic chants, lots of time.  Remorting is done through your children.
    Children are created by using the MATE social with a member of the opposite sex
    while the both of you are suitably undressed.  If pregnancy occurs in the female,
    birth will occur some 10 mud-months following this.  The child should remain in the
    mothers inventory until it can walk, which occurs 9 mud- months following birth.
    If the child is Christened by a Cleric with a player legal name, and if the child
    remains as a follower of either the father or the mother until it grows up, it will
    become a player, which occurs 18-27 mud-months after birth.  If the child does not
    remain an active follower, or if it is never Christened, it will grow up to be a
    mob, or perhaps not grow up at all! Should the named child grow up, the child will
    cease to be a following mob, and become a player which can be logged-in as.  The
    child may be a mixed breed of the mother and father if one of them is a Human and
    the other is not.  Racial benefits will be split between the mother and father,
    though children will have a bonus to their maximum stats when they become a player,
    making them a good choice for playing!
REMOVE
    Command : REMOVE
    Usage   : REMOVE [ITEM NAME]
    Example : remove sword
    Short(s): rem
    Will remove the specified item that is being worn, held, or wielded, and place
    it back into your carried inventory.  See the INVENTORY, WIELD, HOLD, or WEAR
    commands for more information.
REPAIR
    If your equipment falls into disrepair, you may use one of your skills to
    repair the item, or take the item to a repair shop to pay for the work to be done.
    The skill required to mend an item depends on the type and material of the item.

    Carpentry, Sculpting, Scrimshaw, Tailoring, and Weaving.

    person would actually do, you are Role Playing.
ROOM_ID
    If you are trying to find out the ID of a room you want to buy, then find a

    shopkeeper for the price he names. If more than one shopkeeper is in the room, you
    may have to specify the shopkeeper name in the parameters.

    Shopkeepers will only buy the items they are interested in.  This usually means
    the kinds of items they sell.  Shopkeepers may refuse an item because of its low
    worth, or because the shopkeeper has enough of them.  See the PACKAGE command for
    help in selling items of low worth.
SERVE
    Command : SERVE
    Usage   : SERVE [MOB NAME]
    Example : serve king of the hobgoblins
    Short(s):
    Allows your character to be placed in the service of another mob or character

    10% of all of your experience gains, which should encourage your liege to help you
    out.  The REBUKE command is used by either party to end this relationship.  REBUKE
    is also used to stop worshipping a deity.
SERVICES
    A service is a ritual performed by a Cleric in the service of a deity. The
    service must be performed in a room which has had holiness infused within it with
    one of the prayers Infuse Holiness, Infuse Unholiness, or Infuse Balance. The
    service must be performed according to the instructions laid out by the deity,
    which may include time and pause requirements, or specific things said or done.
    When the first step of a service is performed successfully, any npc mobs within a
    particular range from the service location who worship the same deity will make
    their way to the room to hear or even participate in the service.  At the end of
    the service, the cleric performing it will receive experience based on the number
    and levels of the faithful mobs and players present.  A service may only be
    performed in a particular area for a particular deity once every 30 minutes.
SETTINGS
    See the CONFIG command.
SHAMAN
    Shaman are those who worship the gods in the most primitive and basic ways of
    the earth.  The Shaman is thus granted special powers over the earth by the gods,
    including resistances to acid attacks, at the expense of vulnerability to
    electricity.  The Shaman is a neutral aligned class, meaning that he will never
    fumble on neutral prayers, and has a much smaller fumble chance on good and evil
    prayers.  The Shaman is restricted to blunt weapons, any kind of armor, and gets
    numerous special prayers known only to Shaman.

    How to play: The Shaman is a typical village priest, having powers from his
    deity well suited to almost any daily concern.  His neutrality shows his wisdom,
    and his power earns him respect.  The Shaman can fill almost any role in the game,
    whether it be as a group member, or a lone adventurer seeking an inner peace far
    from home.

SKYWATCHER
    The SkyWatcher is the master druid of the stars and heavens, being the very
    powerful steward of the great wheel in the sky.  The SkyWatcher maintains a special
    connection with the moon, and gains numerous special abilities to summon great
    powers from luna.  So connected is he to the moon that his strength and powers will
    fluxuate during the month, following the phase of the moon.  A master of wind and
    weather, the SkyWatcher is also very capable of bringing the heavens down upon his
    enemies at need.

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

    weapons as they increase in levels.  The Templar is an evil aligned class, meaning
    that they always fumble on good prayers, and do not gain any good prayers.
    However, their Aura of Strife, and their increased number of attacks makes them a
    formidable foe of all who oppose the will of their god.

    How to play: The Templar is a brutal and formidable warrior, who wields death
    and power in the name of his god.  His devastating power makes him a great ally for
    groups, but also a successful glory seeker when alone.
THEOCRACY
    See the help entry on CLANS for more generic clan information.

    Organization type: THEOCRACY
    The theocracy is an organization that is always run by the highest level
    cleric.  All other clerics enjoy second-in-command privileges.  All members are
    required to workship the clans deity, which is the deity of the high priest. The
    high priest has all the powers and authority mentioned above, and can assign
    leaders, treasurers, or staff to assist with some menial clan chores.  All members
    have the authority to maintain discipline in the ranks using the ORDER command.

    Theocracies have a unique benefit among all other clan types.  They are the
    only clan type that can attain conquest control points by converting the area
    inhabitants to their religion.  They are also uniquely allowed to sanctify churches
    in conquered areas and hold services.

THIEF
    Thieves are skillful, sly, and devious. They may only use daggers and swords,
    and may only wear leather armor at best.  However, they come with numerous skills
    allowing them to survive in the dog-eat-dog world, including swiping and stealing;
    hiding, peeking, and sneaking; trapping, poisoning, and many others.  Thieves also
    qualify for many devious fighting abilities.

    Thief is the starting point for numerous sub-classes which the player may
    choose to gain levels in at any time.  These sub-classes include: Assassin,
    Arcanist (Arcane Rogue), Burglar, and Trapper.

    How to play: The thieves strength is in his ability to obtain money, and in his
    ability to navigate tricky situations.  By accumulating the wealth of others, the
    thief can stay comfortably equipped with the latest and best money can buy. When
    playing alone, the thief thrives as the only class able to get into and out of any
    secret place without stirring up unnecessary trouble.  Although not generally
    appreciated in groups, a group benefits from these skills, as well as the thiefs
    unique ability to deliver enormous amounts of backstab damage.

    The thief is only moderately skilled at combat, but can make up for it by using
    his wealth to obtain favors, good equipment, and the necessary potions and scrolls
    necessary to survive the experience gaining battles.
THIRST
    From time to time, your character may get thirsty.  If this happens, then you
    should find something to drink to satiate that thirst. Failing to do so will affect
    your characters attack and defensive capabilities, and may eventually lead to
    death.

    specified target.  The item being thrown must first be held or wielded.
TIME
    Time in CoffeeMud is divided into 6 "hours", each of which is about 10 real
    minutes long.  Hours in CoffeeMud are numbered from 0-5. Dawn is at hour 0, dusk is
    at hour 4, and night at hour 5. There are 20 mud "days" to each month, and 8 mud
    "months" to each year. The months are divided into four seasons.

    torch, either use the FIRE BUILDING skill, or just hold the torch to automatically

    Command : TRAIN
    Usage   : TRAIN [ATTRIBUTE/CLASS] ([TEACHER MOB NAME])
    Example : train strength Horice
    Example : train monk Horice
    Short(s):
    If your character has at least one training point, this command will allow you
    to raise the ability score of the specified trait. In addition to specifying the
    ability to train, you must also specify a MOB who is present in the room who can
    train you in that skill.  The traits abbreviated above refer to the following:
    STR  = +1 STRENGTH per 1 training points
    DEX  = +1 DEXTERITY per 1 training points
    INT  = +1 INTELLIGENCE per 1 training points
    WIS  = +1 WISDOM per 1-5 training points
    CON  = +1 CONSTITUTION per 1-5 training points
    CHR  = +1 CHARISMA per 1-5 training points
    * Training up to 18 costs 1 training point, up to 22 costs 2, and above that
    costs 3 25 costs 3.
    HIT  = +10 HIT POINTS per 1 training point
    MANA = +20 MANA per 1 training point
    MOVE = +20 MOVEMENT per 1 training point
    GAIN = +1 TRAINING POINTS per 7 practices
    PRAC = +5 PRACTICES per 1 training point

    In addition to attributes, the train command is used to switch to a new class.
    This costs a single training point, and will give the player a 0 level in the
    chosen class.  From this point on, the player will gain levels in the new class,
    while retaining skills and qualifications from the old class up to the level at
    which the class switch was made.  Use the QUALIFY command to find out what other
    classes you may be able to TRAIN for.
TRAINERS

    Transmuters are specialist mages who can transform the likeness and composition

    Transmuter is so skilled at his art that he gains all known transmutation spells
    automatically, including the most secret and ugly of spells only the specialist may
    learn.

    Transmuters care nothing for conjuration, and so they soon neglect that kind of
    magic, being more fascinated with the many shapes of things right here at home.
    Although the Evoker believes himself the king of specialists with his harmful
    beams, the Transmuter is the most feared and hated of specialists for the terrible
    and awesome consequences of his spells.
TRAPPER
    The trapper, possibly the most cowardly of thieves, has spent late nights
    tinkering with springs and switches, learning to kill indirectly through the
    devices of his art.  Trappers also view fauna as means to his ends, accumulating
    animals both live and dead with amazing efficiency.  Trappers alone have the
    greatest access to the most deadly traps, as well as exclusive access to skills
    that turn animals into his own personal play things, whether it be as items of
    sale, or as trained devilish pets.
TROPHIES
    Clans can earn one or more of the available trophies by controlling the most
    areas through conquest, controlling the most area control points through conquest,
    or my having the most experience points.  See HELP CONQUEST and HELP CLANS for more

    important decisions such as membership, interclan relations, and setting clan

    themselves on these matters.  All the union members may also vote to elect
    secretaries to handle clan property, treasurers to take care of money, and sheriffs
    to take care of military matters. In a Union, there are no members who may use the
