Stats

[Recoba]

Recoba,

Please be so helpful and suggest the required changes to the help files! We'll implement them.

Ok, I'll put something together and send it to you.

By the way, I had a look around and it seems that right now there are no help files at all for the stats, apart from the info in the "levels" command - am I correct?

I think you are. I just looked into it by coincidence yestereve and couldn't find it.

Stats, some of them at least, are good to have in a certain cave in Terel.
When you try to run out of the cave, and you can not for an obvious reason, you wish you had more of those precious stats you lack at this very scary moment.

Please be so helpful and suggest the required changes to the help files!

help str/strength:
* Affects how much weight you can carry.
* Affects how hard you hit in battle

help dex/dexterity:
* Affects how good you are at scoring and dodging hits in battle.

help con/constitution:
* Affects how much damage you can take before you die (hitpoints)
* Affects how far you can walk before becoming exhausted
* Affects how much you can eat, how much you can drink and how much alcohol you can handle

help int/intelligence:
* Affects how much mana (spellpoints) you have
* Affects how many items you can see before they turn into "many".
* Affects how fast you can count items (to find out exactly how "many" there are).
* Affects how many names you can remember

help wis/wisdom:
* Affects your ability with casting spells.

help dis/discipline:
* Affects whether you dare to attack things tougher than yourself

Also, low stats may limit how far you can train a skill, though I don't know if all skills depend on int or if different skills are connected to different stats. If int is the only limiting stat, this could be put into the "help intelligence" file.


If anything is missing or if I am mistaken about anything, please do tell.
And while you're at it, how about adding:

help food/eat/stuffed/fatigue:
* The more stuffed you are, the faster you will regain your movement points.

help drink/soaked/mana:
* The more soaked you are, the faster you will regain your magic points.

help drink/intox/drunk/(health):
* The more drunk you are, the faster you will regain your health.
