Dot Commands
Edit
The server has a variety of useful commands built into it. Any player can utilise these commands if they apply to their character.
In order to use a command you simply put a period, or full stop, before the command you wish to use.
PVP dot commands.Edit

This will set all player characters currently online to friendly. A quick way to be sure no one is set to hostile once PVP is over.

Ability dot commands.Edit

This will attempt to apply poison to a weapon/ammunition. By default the attempt will be made on your primary weapon.

.compantame
This will attempt to tame the nearest animal to use as your animal companion. Animal empathy, along with ranger/druid levels will be used to determine if taming succeeds. Having already pacified the creature using animal empathy will add a bonus to this attempt, but is not neccassary, meaning you can tame creatures you are not normally able to pacify, such as certain vermin. Not all creatures are available to be tamed. Explore and attempt to find out which.

You may only make one attempt within a certain time period. If the player transporting you enters combat during this time however, you will be able to make another attempt immediately. It will also be easier to escape under these conditions.

Utility dot commands.Edit
.publickey
This command will send you a private server message containing your public CDkey.
.password TEXT and .auth TEXT
This new routine is more of a tool to extend your security. Its a PC password system. Once upon the life of a character you will be asked (its not mandatory) to set a password to your character by using a chat command. And once done your password will be saved. It cannot be changed, it cannot be deleted, it cannot be manipulated at all (unless you ask a DM). If you find yourself having problems because you swapped your CDKey, or changed the IPAddress of your computer, or anything that will "freeze" your character and tell you to look for a DM, you will be able to use .auth TEXT to validate your password and unlock the character.
.wandcharges #
This will force future wand crafting to produce a wand with less charges than normal. The amount of charges will be the number you specify in place of #. Example - .wandcharges 5 will set future wands to be crafted with 5 charges. The gold price is reduced by using this method, but the XP cost remains the same as if you crafted a full 25 charge wand. Usefull when you wish to have a certain spell to hand, but cant afford/dont need a full 25 charge wand.

Loot commands.Edit
Given the long issues with death bags, loosing inventory slots and the dreaded "Bag Bug", Abby has put in place a new system that will mean that you keep your loot on your visit to the fugue. dot commands are then available for thugs, thieves and party members to rifle through your loot for goodies. This is still a work in progress, and there are likely to be changes made to reflect comment by people as it is in use.
For use by the player .loot on - switches system on (the default setting) .loot off - switches system off
To prevent greifing, at present, looting and steeling is restricted to PCs above level 4.
For use by thugs and thieves

.steal - lists the lootable stuff on a player corpse.
