New Character Guide

I thought it may be helpful with the transition to Allegory to have a new character guide. These are the basic things I could think of. There are more commands to achieve the same functions for interactions or interaction. Though there are more, these are the basic things to get you rocking and rollin'! 

Interaction Commands

Examine- Will provide a more detailed description of a person, place, or thing. Ex: Examine Room, Examine Cabinet, Examine Arafel. You can also add adjectives for others to see. Ex. Examine Arafel discreetly, examine npc romantically. This can help with rp or allowing others to know your rp intentions.

Look- Less detailed descriptions of a person, place or thing. Other players cannot see this command and it for the player personally.  Ex. Look at trash bin, look at rat, look at npc. 

I- Quick way to see what you are carrying and what is in your inventory

Get- This will put any unfrozen items into your inventory from the room or container. Ex: Get ensemble from donation box, get 2nd roll of leather from clothing rack, get apple

Put- How to put things from your carrying inventory into a container. Ex: Put my cloak in wardrobe, put my cloak in my satchel, put my quill in desk

Offer- Offers an object from carrying inventory to an NPC or pc: Ex: offer my rat to vermin catcher. With a Pc, it is asking them if they would like it or not. A player has the ability to decline the object. Ex: Offer Arafel my sword, what the other players sees "Arafel is offering you his sword type @yes to accept or @no to decline. From this point, the other player can choose to accept or decline

Hand- Gives a pc an object without asking for permission and hands to them directly. This doesn't offer a choice and puts your item in their inventory. Ex: hand sword to Arafel

Hide- You can hide objects within containers or places to retrieve later. Ex: Hide my sword in table, hide my flask in west wall, hide corpse in floor

Search- Use this to search rooms or objects that may have been hidden.  Ex: Search desk, search haystack, search ground

Using : will do custom emotes with your character name starting at the beginning of the emote. Ex:  : dashes to the left and quickly jumps from the bench. What other players see "Arafel dashes to the left and quickly jumps from the bench"

Smell- Will give you different smells or scents of a pc, room or object. Ex. Smell Arafel, smell sewer, smell my soap

wear- This works to put on different wearable things. Ex: Wear my clothes, wear my gold ring, wear my black cloak

remove- Takes off anything your character is wearing or wielding. Ex. Remove my hat, remove my jacket, remove my cuirass, remove my sword

drop- drops an item that you are carrying. Ex: drop my basket

Teach- The current command for teaching another player a skill is "teach [Player] about [skill,language,or career] Ex. teach arafel about soldier, teach sam about tailor, teach Lilly about French

Weapon and Combat Interaction Commands

Wield- This is used to wield weapons to use in battle. You can carry weapons as well, but without wield command they are not being used for combat. Ex. Wield my bow, wield my sword, wield my cane.

Sheath- Sheathing a weapon in a scabbard is an easy way to unwield a weapon fairly quickly. It does require some form of scabbard in order to work. Ex, sheath my sword in my scabbard, sheath my dagger in my dagger sheath.

Remove- This works to remove any weapon that you are wielding or if you are wielding a shield. Ex. Remove my sword, remove my shield 

Load- Use this to load ranged weapons with their respective ammo. Ex. Load musket with my cartouche, load bow with my arrow, load crossbow with cat

Fight- Use this to initiate a fight or combat interaction. Ex. Fight Arafel: you begin to fight Arafel. 

Guard- Use this to guard another pc and take damage or block incoming attacks. Ex. guard Arafel (During Combat) When it is back to your combat turn you must type fight [attacker] to attack again instead of guarding.

@cstat- Gives you a quick armor overview as well as any weapons you are wielding

Targeting Items

It can be frustrating when you first start and try to target specific items or do specific things. It is all about how it is typed and the targeting features and item.

You can target by

The easiest way to get through most things is to use 1st, 2nd, 3rd. So let's say that you have three objects that are identical for categorization. So three copper swords. You can type examine my 1st sword, drop my 2nd sword, swing my 3rd sword. It will be able to target different objects especially if there are multiples. This is especially helpful with npcs. Some of the shops have two or more and it can be frustrating trying to access the inventory or only targeting one npc. To easily overcome this just target with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.  Ex: ask 1st npc, ask 2nd npc 

Groups

Ex: Bow my head to pcs, cough near npc

count my woods

put my armors in my rucksack

Items: 

Ex: If you have two of the same item lets say a short sword and a longsword. They both classify as swords but when you look type look at my sword it says would you like to look at your shortsword or longsword. To override this target it by what it is...so... examine my short sword or drop my longsword sword. Sheath my short sword in my scabbard.

Materials: Different materials have different targeting features so you could have a steel short sword and a copper longsword. You can target by [command] [material][item] Ex: examine my steel sword or examine my copper sword. If you have two of the same material you can always type examine my 1st steel sword or my 2nd steel sword. 

colors: you can target by color of an object. Ex: lift black shirt, clean white pants

names: This is an easier one so you can target by pc name or npc name. Ex: Examine Arafel, examine Sam, examine banker.

objects: This can be anything from containers to items. Ex: you can type boxes and any that are in that category will form together. This can be seen with gift boxes, packages, or crates. To get through this easier you can type examine my gift box or examine my crate.
