''The origins of these mysterious creatures are lost. They are a fearful fusion of feline and avian, and they assume the best attributes of each [[:Category: Races |race]]; the head, beak, talons and wings of an eagle, and the strong body of a lion, along with the lion's tail and powerful hindquarters. With this powerful combination, Griffons are able to [[Racial Fly |fly]], see in the darkness with their piercing infravision, while using their formidable lion's [[Racial Claw |claws]] and eagle's [[Racial Bite |bite]] to rend flesh to pieces. It is also hard to hurt a griffon, for their [[Racial Armorhide |thick leathery pelts]] provide a powerful racial armor protection. Griffons are creatures of great [[Intelligence |intelligence]]; unfortunately, their physical form is poorly designed for the subtle motions of spellcasting, and so they make poor spellcasters.''

''As with their bodies, their abilities are a mix of all. They are long-lived, and though they learn slowly, they are perhaps the most versatile of all the creatures in the realm.''

== Comments ==

Griffons, akin to [[Harpy|harpies]], are good at most roles and classes (with the noticable exception of archery), though they excel at none.

Griffons do not receive any [[Racial Spell Cost Modifier |racial spell cost reductions]], however they are not bad casters. They are no-fail at 97%. Mana gains, like nofail, are comparable to a [[gnome]]. They get very good hp gains.

They have a negative [[Racial Archery Modifier | archery mod]] and a decent [[Racial Damage Modifier | melee damage mod]]. Griffons have no [[Racial Stealth Modifier | racial stealth modifier]]. They are large sized, which is negative for stealth, but they also have very good dexterity, which is positive, resulting in a neutral overall stealth rating. The high dex should help with some rogue skills, as well as dodging. The large size should hurt Slip and Disengage at lord.

While decent in gains and and abilities, and generally a very loveable race, the main flaw is the high TNL which is viewed by many as too high for the abilities presented.

Syntax: racial heraldry

The majestic [[Griffons |griffons]] are noble creatures whose very presence inspires courage
and unity. Through their innate Racial Heraldry, griffons can inspire valor
that emboldens their allies and themselves.

This active racial trait grants boons to nearby group members, enhancing their
combat prowess, resilience, or other attributes, depending on their class.
A lesser portion of each benefit is also retained by the griffon,
allowing them to share in the strength they impart.

This racial is EXHAUSTED for a long time when used.

See also: [[:Category: Racials|RACIALS]], [[Exhaustion|EXHAUST]]

== Comments ==

This racial is active for 5 tics with an exhaust of 20 tics.

The following is all that we know about pre-1997, however.

* '''June 16th, 1996:'''
:- Inline color implemented. Everyone has the ability to change the color
: of the various texts they type. Refer to help 'inline color' for the
: syntax.
:- Lord Channel added. Only Lords and above may send to or hear from it.
:- Last command changed so that it displays an identifying label instead of
: just physical level (eg. 100th level Mage Hero, vs. Level 51 Mage)
:- Channel +all/-all fixed so that it toggles all channels on/off, instead
: of activating deaf mode.
:- New learning system introduced. Players now have the possiblity of
: increasing their adept level higher than the maximum practiced percentage.
: The chances of successfully raising a spell/skill depend on two things:
: Percentage practiced up to this point, and whether you incur a successful
: usage of the spell/skill or not.

* '''2nd of June, 1996:'''
:- Lords have been implemented. After a hero passes herolevel 500, they
: may attempt a morph into a Lord. Failure rate drops as the player grows
: closer to level 999. Penalties for failure also decrease, as they get
: closer to 999.
:- Legends and Titans are created in a similar fashion to Lords, but instead
: of herolevels, a Lord must be Lordlevel 500+ to morph into a Legend, and
: a Legend must be Legendlevel 500+ to attempt a morph into a Titan.
:- Planeshift spell added. This spell allows a Lord or above to teleport
: into another plane.
:- Fullness and Thirst values changed. Consumption rates vary according
: race.

* '''26th of May, 1996:'''
:- Nosun racial reinstated. Those 'dark' races affected by it will be
: unable to regenerate properly, and will have a delay in the usage of
: socials.
:- Planes have been put in. Teleport, locate object, and other similar
: spells will not work across planes. Existing planes include: Outland,
: Immortal Plane, the Arena, the Hero Quest, and Midgaardia. Midgaardia
: is the major world.
:- Area flags introduced. These flags act like room flags, except they
: affect the entire area. Examples of these flags are no-summon and
: no-plague.
: * Meadow is no-summon and no-plague. Players will not be able to summon
: a mob or PC of any kind into the Meadow. Also, plague will continue to
: hurt anyone affected by it, but will not spread.

* '''5th of May, 1996:'''
:- New Races, and racial abilities added. Version 6 players may take
: advantage of the skills given to their race.
:- Afar code now in. Can now use socials with a person in another room.
: Afars can only be done with people in the same area, and will not work
: in private rooms.

* '''12th of May, 1996:'''
:- Angels are in, of course, and with them you can now "who angel"
: and note angel.

==1996==

The following is all that we know about pre-1997, however.

* '''June 16th, 1996:'''
:- Inline color implemented. Everyone has the ability to change the color
: of the various texts they type. Refer to help 'inline color' for the
: syntax.
:- Lord Channel added. Only Lords and above may send to or hear from it.
:- Last command changed so that it displays an identifying label instead of
: just physical level (eg. 100th level Mage Hero, vs. Level 51 Mage)
:- Channel +all/-all fixed so that it toggles all channels on/off, instead
: of activating deaf mode.
:- New learning system introduced. Players now have the possiblity of
: increasing their adept level higher than the maximum practiced percentage.
: The chances of successfully raising a spell/skill depend on two things:
: Percentage practiced up to this point, and whether you incur a successful
: usage of the spell/skill or not.

* '''2nd of June, 1996:'''
:- Lords have been implemented. After a hero passes herolevel 500, they
: may attempt a morph into a Lord. Failure rate drops as the player grows
: closer to level 999. Penalties for failure also decrease, as they get
: closer to 999.
:- Legends and Titans are created in a similar fashion to Lords, but instead
: of herolevels, a Lord must be Lordlevel 500+ to morph into a Legend, and
: a Legend must be Legendlevel 500+ to attempt a morph into a Titan.
:- Planeshift spell added. This spell allows a Lord or above to teleport
: into another plane.
:- Fullness and Thirst values changed. Consumption rates vary according
: race.

* '''26th of May, 1996:'''
:- Nosun racial reinstated. Those 'dark' races affected by it will be
: unable to regenerate properly, and will have a delay in the usage of
: socials.
:- Planes have been put in. Teleport, locate object, and other similar
: spells will not work across planes. Existing planes include: Outland,
: Immortal Plane, the Arena, the Hero Quest, and Midgaardia. Midgaardia
: is the major world.
:- Area flags introduced. These flags act like room flags, except they
: affect the entire area. Examples of these flags are no-summon and
: no-plague.
: * Meadow is no-summon and no-plague. Players will not be able to summon
: a mob or PC of any kind into the Meadow. Also, plague will continue to
: hurt anyone affected by it, but will not spread.

* '''5th of May, 1996:'''
:- New Races, and racial abilities added. Version 6 players may take
: advantage of the skills given to their race.
:- Afar code now in. Can now use socials with a person in another room.
: Afars can only be done with people in the same area, and will not work
: in private rooms.

* '''12th of May, 1996:'''
:- Angels are in, of course, and with them you can now "who angel"
: and note angel.

Cyclogenesis

2025-06-11T13:08:41Z

3nki: Created page with " Syntax: cast cyclogenesis <sustained weather spell> <target> e.g. cast cyclogenesis thunderhead mob With this terrifying ability, Stormlords are able to fuse..."

Syntax: cast cyclogenesis <sustained weather spell> <target>
e.g. cast cyclogenesis thunderhead mob

With this terrifying ability, Stormlords are able to fuse
their very existence with the storms they create. This turns
them into unstoppable forces of nature. While in this form
they will be able to sustain their damaging spells even
under situations which would usually cause them to lose focus.

A cyclogenesis can be ended early with the use of the CANCEL
command but this will result in the spell going on exhaust
for a short period.

Be wary of using this ability to initiate combat with this ability
if it will result in immediate aggression as this will cause
the cyclogenesis to fail before it even begins.

Racial Devour

2025-06-11T12:56:32Z

3nki: /* Comments */

''Red Dragons have truly voracious appetites. They have been known to devour their foes whole when the mood strikes them.

''Upon successfully devouring a worthy foe, the Red Dragon may find themselves temporarily more adept at fighting, casting offensive spells, or healing. Which advantage the Dragon experiences depends on the former occupation of their meal.

''Despite their renowned appetite, a Red Dragon is unable to devour whole a victim that is too powerful or too large for them.

''Typing racial devour with no target attacks a mob you are already in combat with. This racial is EXHAUSTED for a long time when used.

Syntax: racial devour <target> 
or racial devour

== Comments ==

The mob has to give 0 xp, and also has to have a class.

Depending on the class of the mob devoured, you can receive a melee bonus, spell casting bonus, or a healing bonus.

Some examples of bonuses for heroes: 
Trog Female: melee power by + 10%. 
Guanna: healing power by + 10%. 
Sprite Illusionist: spell power by + 10%. 
Assistant Chronicler: melee power by + 10%. 
High Sylph: healing power by + 10%. 
Old Mystic: spell power by + 10%.

Racial Breath

2025-05-20T15:38:28Z

3nki:

Syntax: racial breath <target>
or racial breath
or racial breath all
or racial breath full <target> (Dragons only)
or racial breath full (Dragons only)

This is a breath attack that Dragons may use. It can only be used once before having to rest. Typing 'racial breath' with no target attacks a mob you are already in combat with.

Typing 'racial breath all' will try to attack all enemies in the room with the breath attack. However, this requires a high level of breath power.

Typing 'racial breath full' will not only damage your enemy, but subject them to some additional ailment as well. This is more exhausting than a normal breath attack. Only Dragons can dig deep enough to perform a 'full' breath attack.

==Comments==

This gets more powerful at higher levels, though I'm not sure if it's slightly more with each level or jumps abruptly at certain stages.

Racial breath all is available from hero 750 on.

''In a dangerous world it is easy to be vanquished by a well placed spell cast from a powerful mage. This becomes even more of an issue if the caster in question is adept at SURGING their spells.''

''This powerful high magick is an aura which will interfere with the magical ability of enemy casters and mitigate or even nullify their ability to surge spells.''

Planar Modulation

3nki: /* Comments */

''The outer planes typically cause strong elemental affinities
within their denizens. Overcoming these resistances are typically
a thorn in the side for mages.''

''This powerful high magick is an aura which will interfere with
certain resistances and allow High Mages to pierce corresponding
resistances.''

''This high magick was inspired by the cleric pantheon spell - Protective Vigil. This aura however extends to the foes of the caster and makes them more susceptible to damage.''

3nki: adding ill, guessing about which classes they can prc

{{Character Quick-Links}}

''Prestige [[:Category: Classes |Classes]] are schools of learning open only to a select few. Each class has a set of requirements required for transition, which is done at mortal level 50. You retain all of the [[:Category: Skills And Spells |skills]] from your [[:Category: Lowmort |low-mort]] levels, although in some cases, [[:Category: Skills And Spells |skills]] contrary to the new class's teachings may be removed. After level 50, you level as your new class in all ways, including gains, new [[:Category: Skills And Spells |skills and spells]], and so on. You retain the same [[Prime Requisite |Prime Requisite]] as your original [[:Category: Classes |class]], and the same [[:Category: Statistics |stats]] and attributes you had before. The [[Prestige |Prestige]] [[:Category: Commands |command]] is used to select a Prestige Class and is accessible starting at level 30. You can only be inducted into a Prestige Class by another member. This can be a [[:Category: Trainers |teacher mob]], or a player who has practiced [[Tutor Other |tutor other]]. Choosing a Prestige Class is a one way trip. You can't go back to your prior [[:Category: Classes |class]], so be certain before you use the command.''
 
 
Note: One can use 100 [[Quest Points|QPs]] to "temporarily alter 1 requirement for a prc". 
''Your char will be altered, and changed back after you're done.'' 
''Race, Class, Level and Gender will not be changed.'' 
''Race includes racial abilities & penalties and size.'' 
''Things that are not race related are stats (wis, int, etc) hp/mana, hours,'' 
''death, etc. When in doubt, ask Kariya.''

==1996==

The following is all that we know about pre-1997, however.

* '''June 16th, 1996:'''
:- Inline color implemented. Everyone has the ability to change the color
: of the various texts they type. Refer to help 'inline color' for the
: syntax.
:- Lord Channel added. Only Lords and above may send to or hear from it.
:- Last command changed so that it displays an identifying label instead of
: just physical level (eg. 100th level Mage Hero, vs. Level 51 Mage)
:- Channel +all/-all fixed so that it toggles all channels on/off, instead
: of activating deaf mode.
:- New learning system introduced. Players now have the possiblity of
: increasing their adept level higher than the maximum practiced percentage.
: The chances of successfully raising a spell/skill depend on two things:
: Percentage practiced up to this point, and whether you incur a successful
: usage of the spell/skill or not.

* '''2nd of June, 1996:'''
:- Lords have been implemented. After a hero passes herolevel 500, they
: may attempt a morph into a Lord. Failure rate drops as the player grows
: closer to level 999. Penalties for failure also decrease, as they get
: closer to 999.
:- Legends and Titans are created in a similar fashion to Lords, but instead
: of herolevels, a Lord must be Lordlevel 500+ to morph into a Legend, and
: a Legend must be Legendlevel 500+ to attempt a morph into a Titan.
:- Planeshift spell added. This spell allows a Lord or above to teleport
: into another plane.
:- Fullness and Thirst values changed. Consumption rates vary according
: race.

* '''26th of May, 1996:'''
:- Nosun racial reinstated. Those 'dark' races affected by it will be
: unable to regenerate properly, and will have a delay in the usage of
: socials.
:- Planes have been put in. Teleport, locate object, and other similar
: spells will not work across planes. Existing planes include: Outland,
: Immortal Plane, the Arena, the Hero Quest, and Midgaardia. Midgaardia
: is the major world.
:- Area flags introduced. These flags act like room flags, except they
: affect the entire area. Examples of these flags are no-summon and

The following is all that we know about pre-1997, however.

* '''June 16th, 1996:'''
:- Inline color implemented. Everyone has the ability to change the color
: of the various texts they type. Refer to help 'inline color' for the
: syntax.
:- Lord Channel added. Only Lords and above may send to or hear from it.
:- Last command changed so that it displays an identifying label instead of
: just physical level (eg. 100th level Mage Hero, vs. Level 51 Mage)
:- Channel +all/-all fixed so that it toggles all channels on/off, instead
: of activating deaf mode.
:- New learning system introduced. Players now have the possiblity of
: increasing their adept level higher than the maximum practiced percentage.
: The chances of successfully raising a spell/skill depend on two things:
: Percentage practiced up to this point, and whether you incur a successful
: usage of the spell/skill or not.

* '''2nd of June, 1996:'''
:- Lords have been implemented. After a hero passes herolevel 500, they
: may attempt a morph into a Lord. Failure rate drops as the player grows
: closer to level 999. Penalties for failure also decrease, as they get
: closer to 999.
:- Legends and Titans are created in a similar fashion to Lords, but instead
: of herolevels, a Lord must be Lordlevel 500+ to morph into a Legend, and
: a Legend must be Legendlevel 500+ to attempt a morph into a Titan.
:- Planeshift spell added. This spell allows a Lord or above to teleport
: into another plane.
:- Fullness and Thirst values changed. Consumption rates vary according
: race.

* '''26th of May, 1996:'''
:- Nosun racial reinstated. Those 'dark' races affected by it will be
: unable to regenerate properly, and will have a delay in the usage of
: socials.
:- Planes have been put in. Teleport, locate object, and other similar
: spells will not work across planes. Existing planes include: Outland,
: Immortal Plane, the Arena, the Hero Quest, and Midgaardia. Midgaardia
: is the major world.
:- Area flags introduced. These flags act like room flags, except they
: affect the entire area. Examples of these flags are no-summon and
: no-plague.
: * Meadow is no-summon and no-plague. Players will not be able to summon
: a mob or PC of any kind into the Meadow. Also, plague will continue to
: hurt anyone affected by it, but will not spread.

* '''5th of May, 1996:'''
:- New Races, and racial abilities added. Version 6 players may take
: advantage of the skills given to their race.
:- Afar code now in. Can now use socials with a person in another room.
: Afars can only be done with people in the same area, and will not work
: in private rooms.

* '''12th of May, 1996:'''
:- Angels are in, of course, and with them you can now "who angel"
: and note angel.

Sense Weakness

2025-03-13T13:48:56Z

3nki:

Syntax: c 'sense weakness'
Prerequisites: bio empathy

''The Black Circle Initiates are masters of perceiving the vulnerabilities in their foes. With sense weakness, the caster attunes their psionic senses to detect the weak points of their enemies. Once cast, the Initiate gains a heightened awareness of their opponents' flaws, causing all vital shots made against any enemy to deal increased damage.''

''Additionally, if an enemy is under the effects of other psionic debuff spells the damage bonus from sense weakness is further amplified.''

See Also: [[Shadowcast]], [[Quickcast]], [[Kahbyss Insight]]

==Comments==

This spell lasts for 12 tics with a cooldown of 3 tics. Sense Weakness and Kahbyss Insight are mutually exclusive (ie, you can only have one active).

The following is all that we know about pre-1997, however.

* '''June 16th, 1996:'''
:- Inline color implemented. Everyone has the ability to change the color
: of the various texts they type. Refer to help 'inline color' for the
: syntax.
:- Lord Channel added. Only Lords and above may send to or hear from it.
:- Last command changed so that it displays an identifying label instead of
: just physical level (eg. 100th level Mage Hero, vs. Level 51 Mage)
:- Channel +all/-all fixed so that it toggles all channels on/off, instead
: of activating deaf mode.
:- New learning system introduced. Players now have the possiblity of
: increasing their adept level higher than the maximum practiced percentage.
: The chances of successfully raising a spell/skill depend on two things:
: Percentage practiced up to this point, and whether you incur a successful
: usage of the spell/skill or not.

* '''2nd of June, 1996:'''
:- Lords have been implemented. After a hero passes herolevel 500, they
: may attempt a morph into a Lord. Failure rate drops as the player grows
: closer to level 999. Penalties for failure also decrease, as they get
: closer to 999.
:- Legends and Titans are created in a similar fashion to Lords, but instead
: of herolevels, a Lord must be Lordlevel 500+ to morph into a Legend, and
: a Legend must be Legendlevel 500+ to attempt a morph into a Titan.
:- Planeshift spell added. This spell allows a Lord or above to teleport
: into another plane.
:- Fullness and Thirst values changed. Consumption rates vary according
: race.

* '''26th of May, 1996:'''
:- Nosun racial reinstated. Those 'dark' races affected by it will be
: unable to regenerate properly, and will have a delay in the usage of
: socials.
:- Planes have been put in. Teleport, locate object, and other similar
: spells will not work across planes. Existing planes include: Outland,
: Immortal Plane, the Arena, the Hero Quest, and Midgaardia. Midgaardia
: is the major world.
:- Area flags introduced. These flags act like room flags, except they
: affect the entire area. Examples of these flags are no-summon and
: no-plague.
: * Meadow is no-summon and no-plague. Players will not be able to summon
: a mob or PC of any kind into the Meadow. Also, plague will continue to
: hurt anyone affected by it, but will not spread.

* '''5th of May, 1996:'''
:- New Races, and racial abilities added. Version 6 players may take
: advantage of the skills given to their race.
:- Afar code now in. Can now use socials with a person in another room.
: Afars can only be done with people in the same area, and will not work
: in private rooms.

* '''12th of May, 1996:'''
:- Angels are in, of course, and with them you can now "who angel"
: and note angel.

: of the various texts they type. Refer to help 'inline color' for the
: syntax.

:- Last command changed so that it displays an identifying label instead of
: just physical level (eg. 100th level Mage Hero, vs. Level 51 Mage)
:- Channel +all/-all fixed so that it toggles all channels on/off, instead
: of activating deaf mode.
:- New learning system introduced. Players now have the possiblity of
: increasing their adept level higher than the maximum practiced percentage.
: The chances of successfully raising a spell/skill depend on two things:
: Percentage practiced up to this point, and whether you incur a successful
: usage of the spell/skill or not.

* '''2nd of June, 1996:'''
:- Lords have been implemented. After a hero passes herolevel 500, they
: may attempt a morph into a Lord. Failure rate drops as the player grows
: closer to level 999. Penalties for failure also decrease, as they get
: closer to 999.
:- Legends and Titans are created in a similar fashion to Lords, but instead
: of herolevels, a Lord must be Lordlevel 500+ to morph into a Legend, and
: a Legend must be Legendlevel 500+ to attempt a morph into a Titan.
:- Planeshift spell added. This spell allows a Lord or above to teleport
: into another plane.
:- Fullness and Thirst values changed. Consumption rates vary according
: race.

* '''26th of May, 1996:'''
:- Nosun racial reinstated. Those 'dark' races affected by it will be
: unable to regenerate properly, and will have a delay in the usage of
: socials.
:- Planes have been put in. Teleport, locate object, and other similar
: spells will not work across planes. Existing planes include: Outland,
: Immortal Plane, the Arena, the Hero Quest, and Midgaardia. Midgaardia
: is the major world.
:- Area flags introduced. These flags act like room flags, except they
: affect the entire area. Examples of these flags are no-summon and
: no-plague.
: * Meadow is no-summon and no-plague. Players will not be able to summon
: a mob or PC of any kind into the Meadow. Also, plague will continue to
: hurt anyone affected by it, but will not spread.

* '''5th of May, 1996:'''
:- New Races, and racial abilities added. Version 6 players may take
: advantage of the skills given to their race.

==1996==

The following is all that we know about pre-1997, however.

* '''June 16th, 1996:'''
:- Inline color implemented. Everyone has the ability to change the color
: of the various texts they type. Refer to help 'inline color' for the
: syntax.
:- Lord Channel added. Only Lords and above may send to or hear from it.
:- Last command changed so that it displays an identifying label instead of
: just physical level (eg. 100th level Mage Hero, vs. Level 51 Mage)
:- Channel +all/-all fixed so that it toggles all channels on/off, instead
: of activating deaf mode.
:- New learning system introduced. Players now have the possiblity of
: increasing their adept level higher than the maximum practiced percentage.
: The chances of successfully raising a spell/skill depend on two things:
: Percentage practiced up to this point, and whether you incur a successful
: usage of the spell/skill or not.

* '''2nd of June, 1996:'''
:- Lords have been implemented. After a hero passes herolevel 500, they
: may attempt a morph into a Lord. Failure rate drops as the player grows
: closer to level 999. Penalties for failure also decrease, as they get
: closer to 999.
:- Legends and Titans are created in a similar fashion to Lords, but instead
: of herolevels, a Lord must be Lordlevel 500+ to morph into a Legend, and
: a Legend must be Legendlevel 500+ to attempt a morph into a Titan.
:- Planeshift spell added. This spell allows a Lord or above to teleport
: into another plane.
:- Fullness and Thirst values changed. Consumption rates vary according
: race.

* '''26th of May, 1996:'''
:- Nosun racial reinstated. Those 'dark' races affected by it will be
: unable to regenerate properly, and will have a delay in the usage of
: socials.
:- Planes have been put in. Teleport, locate object, and other similar
: spells will not work across planes. Existing planes include: Outland,
: Immortal Plane, the Arena, the Hero Quest, and Midgaardia. Midgaardia
: is the major world.
:- Area flags introduced. These flags act like room flags, except they
: affect the entire area. Examples of these flags are no-summon and
: no-plague.
: * Meadow is no-summon and no-plague. Players will not be able to summon
: a mob or PC of any kind into the Meadow. Also, plague will continue to
: hurt anyone affected by it, but will not spread.

* '''5th of May, 1996:'''
:- New Races, and racial abilities added. Version 6 players may take
: advantage of the skills given to their race.
:- Afar code now in. Can now use socials with a person in another room.
: Afars can only be done with people in the same area, and will not work
: in private rooms.

* '''12th of May, 1996:'''
:- Angels are in, of course, and with them you can now "who angel"
: and note angel.

3nki: /* BCIs at Lord Tier */

''The Black Circle is a secretive cabal of lizard and Dragon-kin assassins under the service of the Great Dragon Kahbyss. The Circle teaches a small repertoire of [[:Category: Psionicist Skills And Spells |psionic spells]], including some unknown outside the circle. The Circle as a whole has a certain measure of [[Reputation |Reputation]], although individual Initiates cannot raise this, like an [[:Category: Assassins |Assassin]] can.''

''Like all [[:Category: Prestige Classes |Prestige Classes]], they retain the original class's [[Prime Requisite |Prime Requisite]], in this case, [[Dexterity |Dexterity]]. As a Psionic class, they possess a Psion's higher degree of success with spells such as [[Deception |deception]]. Joining the Circle is for life. Initiates cannot become [[:Category: Assassins |Assassins]] or [[:Category: Berserkers |Berserkers]] like [[:Category: Rogues |Rogues]] can.''

''Rumor says the Circle maintains a base in warmer climes, where Masters can often be found.''

''Requirements: 
''* level 50 Rogue 
''* Reptilian or similar race 
''* Have an impressive "resume" 
''* Avoid trouble with the law 
''* Complete one "job" for the Circle

'''Abbreviation:''' Bci.

'''[[:Category: Core Classes |Base Class]]:''' [[:Category: Rogues |Rogue]].

'''[[Prime Requisite |Prime Requisite]]:''' [[Dexterity |Dexterity]].

== BCIs in General ==

The Black Circle Initiate, is a [[:Category: Rogues |Rogue]]-like assassin with some unique [[:Category: Psionicists|psionic]] abilities. BCI do not get a lot of arcane spells but they have access to some impressive psionics that only the [[:Category: Psionicists|psionicists]] and [[:Category: Mindbenders|Mnd]] can learn like [[Overconfidence |overconfidence]], [[Anger Management |anger management]] and [[Death Field|death field]]. Also BCI can learn a couple skills unique only to the initiates like [[Sense Weakness|sense weakness]] and [[Killer Instinct |killer instinct]].

BCI gain stats identical to a mage. This means a balanced ratio of HP and mana, that makes them able to use their abilities (namely [[Death Field]]) in combat.

Black Circle Initiates also get a certain [[reputation]] (20%) due to the nature of the Circle but, unlike [[:Category: Assassins |Assassins]], this is not earned and can not be lost.

== BCI Creation ==

BCI is a possible class option only for lizard-kin (and fake lizard-kin) races: [[Troglodytes|troglodytes]], [[Draconians|draconians]], [[Firedrakes|firedrakes]], [[Lizardmen|lizardmen]] and [[miraar]] rogues. Remort races that can become BCI are [[dragons]] and [[tuataurs]]. [[:Category:Imps| Imps]] CANNOT become a BCI whilst a Dust Imp despite having the racial characteristic 'Scaled Race'. They must be REPTILIAN.

The [[:Category:Black Circle Initiate Trainers |BCI master]] can be found at the bottom of the [[:Category:Valley Of The Sun |Valley of the Sun]]. Requirements are:

* One of the races listed above,
* Spotless criminal record - ie. '''NO''' arrests,
* A large kill counter - about 333 at lvl 50, 359 at hero 1, and rising fast afterwards (433 at hero 5).

With this in mind, linger in lower xp areas when leveling at lowmort and try to rack up the kill counter. Remember that kills need to give xp to add to the counter. Once ready and level 50, the [[:Category:Black Circle Initiate Trainers |BCI master]] will give you a quest. If you try to prestige and the Master replies: 'Yeah, I've heard of you, but I haven't heard much. How do I know you've got what it takes?' it means you still need more kills.

=== The Quest ===

A Black Circle Master says 'Yeah, maybe you do have what it takes.
Maybe you could do a little job for us, hrmm? Those two bunglers I
sent on the Audis job are taking too long...'

From Lord Audis go: w, d, s, s, u, e.

In the second-to-last room there is a large mob with sanc and poison and that stabs. The item you're looking for is the [[Audis Family Crest (Ticket)|Audis family crest]]. It's on Nikoli. Murder Nikoli and return the item.

This is a ticket quest in [[:Category: Lord Audis' Villa |Lord Audis' Villa]] where it is easy to get [[Arrests |arrested]] so be careful. The aggressive assassins there stab hard and fighting them in the presence of a guard will give you an [[:Category:Character Flags |outlaw flag]]. If the servant spots you there, you'll get an outlaw flag too, even without any fighting. Outlaws might find a reprieve from the Black Circle Master, but once you are arrested, he will ignore you forever. You are required to do this quest with the alt that wants to go BCI.

Once you give the required item to the master, you can use the [[prestige]] command and become BCI.

== BCIs at Hero Tier ==

While it might appear there is little difference between BCI and Rogues at low hero, except that BCI receive less of the useful spells, this is not quite accurate. At hero 33 BCI can learn [[Deception]] which can be very handy against mobs that wield. Also, starting at hero 11 they learn a series of six psionic damage spells, starting with [[Psychic Drain]] and culminating with [[Ultrablast]] at hero 91. Coupled with [[Surge]] (hero 49) these spells can add noticeable damage during a fight. [[Overconfidence]] can also be useful against mobs that flee, particularly flying ones (which can't be tripped).

After 101 they come into their own, as they are able to both stab as a rogue and to use [[Death Field]] for tremendous area damage, to name but a few of their primary abilities. They can also use [[Quickcast]] and [[Shadowcast]] to add certain psionic spells to a mid-round vital shot or an opening surprise attack. Max bci surge is 3.

=== Training ===

Train [[Wisdom|wisdom]] first and then [[Intelligence |intelligence]], for the increased prac and mana gains. Next comes [[Constitution |constitution]] for better [[Hit Points |hp]] gains, and finally train strength and dexterity at your leisure.

=== Practicing ===

It is important to practice the following skills and spells at hero:

* [[Nightcloak]] - increase stealth of a race, potentially making certain races immune to failing stealth checks,
* [[Backstab]] - the bread and butter of rogue skills, required for stabbing,
* [[Death Field]] - incredibly potent area attack with a nasty potential for backfire,
* [[Overconfidence]] - useful for dealing with wimpy mobs,
* [[Sense Weakness]] - only marginally useful at hero tier due to the speed at which mobs usually die,
* [[Quickstrike]] and [[Killer Instinct]] - useful when soloing to increase damage dealt.

You may want to look into the following spells:

* [[Enhanced Strength]] - Useful replacement for Giant Strength,
* [[Ectoplasmic Form]] - Useful replacement for Pass Door,
* [[Heighten Senses]] - Since you are psi-like, this lasts the full duration of spells

Spells BCI do '''not''' get require special attention:

* [[Portal]], [[Nexus]],
* [[Awen]], though they do receive the spells of the [[Awen]] stack.

=== Worship and Devoting ===

Where rogues had a relatively easy dilemma between Shizaga and Tor, BCI have a much harder choice to make.

'''Shizaga''' is great for "smart" races - those wishing to maximize their mana gains, and that will rely on death field to do damage. This in turn leads to ability to solo akin to mages - using surged death field and a charged shield to clear large amounts of enemies at once while relying on tank gear and not using melee abilities. Alternatively, "strong" races such as [[Black Dragons]] can still do significant melee damage with a Shizaga worship, and thanks to large hp pools and good racial armor run in full hit gear. Shizaga gives bonuses to spell damage, better mana gains, bonuses to rogue skills like backstab and is far better for poisoning weapons.

'''Tor''' will nerf mana gains and spell damage while boosting melee, making it more suitable for the "brutish" BCI - those seeking to maximize stab damage and hitting power, and that will use death field only sparringly.

As with worship, each devotion suits its particular gameplay style.

Shizaga will give bonus AC useful for soloing or tanking, where Tor devotion will increase damage and HP gains while further reducing mana gains.

=== Fighting ===

'''Soloing:''' Soloing might be a bit tricky until after level 101, but follows two routes:

* Fight in [[Tanking In Hit Gear|mixed gear]] by blinding mobs (''vs eye'') or later by [[Backstab|backstabbing]] them. Augment damage by quickstrikes or ultrablasts.

* Alternatively, after 101 go into full AC with a charged shield, and fight many mobs at once using [[Death Field]].

'''Tanking:''' BCI tank rather well with [[Backstab|''bs'']] or [[Vital Shot|''vs eye'']] to open up combat. At low hero you will need full [[:Category:Hero Tank Gear |ac gear]] and then slowly blend in [[:Category:Hero Hit Gear |hit]] to suit your playing style. Be sure to include someone in the group who can [[Portal |portal]] and [[Sanctuary |sanc]].

'''Hitting:''' BCI don't really start hitting well until they get [[Third Attack|third attack]] and [[Enhanced Damage|enhanced damage]]. When in groups they should be stabbing in full DR gear (and immediately rescued by actual tanks), and using DF for rooms with 3+ mobs.

'''Healing:''' Since BCI do not get [[Arcane Knowledge]] they cannot brand or zap. They do have access to [[Heal]] in emergencies (but not [[Augment]]).

== BCIs at Lord Tier ==

BCIs continue to be powerful characters at the lord tier, although overshadowed somewhat by assassins. [[Nightcloak]] will insure your continuing high stab rate, and in-class [[Regeneration]] can be nice. In addition, BCI can cast [[Steel Skeleton]] on group members.

Unfortunately the BCIs do not receive [[Slip]] or [[Disengage]] but they can still open with a stab and let another rogue or assassin slip in for later damage.

Depending on your preference, you can either [[Sense Weakness]] to improve melee damage, or [[Khabyss Insight]] to improve psionic spell damage ([[Mindstrike]], [[Mindrend]]).

== BCI Remort Options ==

BCI has no class remort options; BCI is for life.

Strong, otherwise non-sneaky races such as [[minotaurs]], [[dragons]] and [[trolls]] make great remort choices for BCI, as the skill [[nightcloak]] allows them to rarely miss their stab.

Dragons do exceptionally well, with their mix of high racial damage and strong casting abilities, excelling at all aspects of BCI, and in addition, are able to become a BCI even if not originally BCI. After all, [[Kahbyss]] founded the Circle, and he is a black dragon.

For those shy of a dragon's TNL and death-field related deaths, [[Tuataurs|tuataurs]] are also a good option - good sneaking, powerful casters, but without the damage modifier and not as armored.

Sense Weakness

2025-03-11T12:27:33Z

3nki:

Syntax: c 'sense weakness'
Prerequisites: bio empathy

''The Black Circle Initiates are masters of perceiving the vulnerabilities in their foes. With sense weakness, the caster attunes their psionic senses to detect the weak points of their enemies. Once cast, the Initiate gains a heightened awareness of their opponents' flaws, causing all vital shots made against any enemy to deal increased damage.''

''Additionally, if an enemy is under the effects of other psionic debuff spells the damage bonus from sense weakness is further amplified.''

Deep-Sea Diver Quest

2025-03-05T18:24:16Z

3nki:

This quest is given by [[Ginormous Dingersen]] to all 101+ heroes (only one member of the group needs to be 101+). All parts of the quest can be technically done by lowheroes, but the insignia rewards will not be forthcoming unless the initiating player is a 101+ hero.

The quest is group-based, so only the initiator needs to turn in the final ticket for the reward, and all groupmates will be able to pick an insignia they desire.

The insignia will grant +3% melee power or +3% spell power, depending on personal choice. It will last as long as the player is hero.

Walkthrough:

* Gather a solid party. 2 tanks, 2 big area casters, a healer and a skinner are suggested. Really need a group of 10+ (depending on hero level) to be successful.
* Once on Eragora proper, teleport to [[Ginormous Dingersen]] and trigger his speech. Have the 101+ player tell Gino "help me".
* Go w, follow [[Mayflower]], be transported to an air room above the water (main) portion of the area. Sneak and move hidden are suggested.
* Go 2d, w, open d.

The following portions will take the group through the ship. Ship is highly aggie, with a lot of wandering [[Undead Sailor|undead sailors]] (can be 5+ in a room) which wield [[Narrow Blade|narrow blades]]. Also, mobs here will spawn NEW versions of themselves upon death, fortunately those will not have wields. All see through hidden/invisible. Entire ship is also no-regen, so no point in sleeping.

* d, n, e
* Kill [[Apprentice-Wizard Arakos]] for the key to [[Captain Drago]]'s door. Arakos will flash upon entry and will use mnd abilities.
* w, 3s, unl w, open w, w
* Kill [[Captain Drago]]. The key he has is related to [[Sunken Treasure Quest]]. A mirror will open upon Drogo's death, have the group enter it, tanks first.
* Mirror world is anti-magic. Kill the [[Hungry Firedrake]] for the key to Quiros' room, and remember to skin it once looted for the rucksack. Enter mirror again to go back to Drago's room once done.
* Go e, 3n, unl w, open w, w

This room has 6+ mobs (depending on how much survived last attempt to run it, can be over 13 in there sometimes). They all need to die for Quiros to spawn.

* Clear the room, [[Undead Sorcerer Quiros |Quiros]] will pop, murder him. Loot the captain's log (essential) from his body.

Portal to Ginormous, and have the same player that initiated the quest give him the log. He will thank you, and every member will be free to choose the appropriate [[Deep-Sea Diver Insignia]].

Note: In order for all players to get the insignia, they should not die. Every player needs to be present when each of the 4 key mobs die: Arakos, Drago, Firedrake and Quiros. If a player dies in the battle against any of these mobs, the leader should wait for a repop and re-do that particular mob.

Each player who contacts Ginormous after the quest should be visible (he may ignore you altogether if you are invisible). It SEEMS to be possible to re-kill one of the key mobiles after the captain's log has been passed in while the group is still together.

== Diplomatic Corps ==

Elves may participate in the [[Diplomatic Corps]] every 10 levels at lowmort. All Elves should report to [[Aeldiskaa|Aeldiskaa]] when they are ready to begin.

== Comments ==

Many people would say, to start with you can go Orc for melee or Elf for caster and that's all you ever need to know.

Elves receive a 10% reduction to spell casting costs generally and an additional 2% reduction on arcane spells. In addition to this, elves are no-fail once they reach 95% and also have substantial mana pools regardless of their chosen class. This makes them terrific casters with low enough TNL to be able to level in a fast and effective manner.

Their cousins the drow have even lower TNL but their no-sun racial penalty can threaten their mana pools - making indeed the elves preferable for a new player that wishes to play a good caster.

Elves will gain 95% HP of a human with the same constitution; this combined with a lack of natural armors and racial damage modifier makes them poor tanks and poor brutes.

Elves have a high archery modifier, higher than their drow relatives, but somewhat less than centaurs, making them viable archers. Archery combined with their large mana pools means they can be solid druids.

Concerning [[Racial Stealth Modifier |stealth]] they are good, but a lack of a damage modifier will make them suboptimal stabbers.

Racial Stealth Modifier

2025-02-24T00:00:15Z

3nki:

'''Every race''' has a racial stealth modifier associated with it. From the in-game help for Racial Stealth:

<blockquote>
''Stealth is two-fold:''
''A stealthy race is less likely to be attacked by aggressive mobs when a less-stealthy target also presents itself.''

''A stealthy race will also succeed more often with rogue skills such as blackjack, backstab and sneak attack.''

''Some examples of stealthy races include Drow, Halfling and Demonseed.''

''Some examples of non-stealthy races include Giant, Troglodyte and Troll.''
</blockquote>

Because we can't be sure exactly what the number is, we have simply assigned each race a rating of '''-3''' to '''2''', with negative numbers being a penalty, '''0''' meaning "no modifier", and '''2''' being the best modifier possible. -3 is a failure rate of approximately 50%, -2 is 20%, and -1 is 5%. Note that size and groupsize both affect the success rate of disengage and slip, and are separate from the inherent stealth modifier.

There is also a separate [[Racial_Archery_Modifier |archery damage modifier]] and [[Racial Damage Modifier |melee damage modifier]] for each race.

Please note that all of this information has been gleaned from [[:Category: Races |race]] pages here as well as discussion in-game, and is subject to change at any time. Also, entries for evolution races should reflect their maximum (highest evolve).

== Stealth Modifiers, Rogue Skills, And You ==

Performance as a rogue is not exclusively or even primarily determined by the stealth modifier. Dexterity, [[Racial Damage Modifier| racial damage modifier]] and [[Racial Size| size]] also affect [[:Category:Rogue Skills And Spells| rogue skills]] to varying degrees but these are separate from the hidden natural stealth modifier as described above. Many players strongly prefer sturdy races with high damage output to small agile races when they create a rogue, as rogues have difficulty avoiding taking damage in the course of their duties.

Most races do not have a stealth modifier. The stealth modifier is most plainly obvious when using backstab, as when it is rolled you get the message "it sees you coming from a mile away" and your backstab fails completely. From this you can clearly see some things - trolls have a -5% modifier, dragons are -20%. However, it doesn't measure positive stealth modifier in any way, and these positive stealth modifiers are extremely rare... most races which are considered "stealthy" are just neutral with above average intelligence/dex, which is sufficient to succeed on backstab all the time.

Other skills fail for other reasons - most importantly, slip and disengage are strongly affected by size and groupsize, as your ability to disappear in a crowd is considered extremely important there. "Nils" on assassinate and backstab occur at a flat rate regardless of race or class. From this we can see differences in orc and troll stealth performance, despite them having the same negative modifier - orcs have more dex, and also are medium instead of large, so they stab slightly better and slip significantly better.

Fumbles from [[Murder]], which also result in Nil damage (i.e, "You fumble! You fierily hit troll skirmisher with nil intensity."), seem to occur roughly equivalent to the racial stealth modifier percentages given above (i.e, 5/20/50% for modifiers -1/2/3 respectively).

Some might say a rough indicator of a race's "innate stealthiness" can be gotten by looking at how many of the sneaky racials that race has. These would be racial [[Racial Sneak |sneak]], [[Racial Hide |hide]], and [[Racial Movehidden |movehidden]].

==1996==

The following is all that we know about pre-1997, however.

* '''June 16th, 1996:'''
:- Inline color implemented. Everyone has the ability to change the color
: of the various texts they type. Refer to help 'inline color' for the
: syntax.
:- Lord Channel added. Only Lords and above may send to or hear from it.
:- Last command changed so that it displays an identifying label instead of
: just physical level (eg. 100th level Mage Hero, vs. Level 51 Mage)
:- Channel +all/-all fixed so that it toggles all channels on/off, instead
: of activating deaf mode.
:- New learning system introduced. Players now have the possiblity of
: increasing their adept level higher than the maximum practiced percentage.
: The chances of successfully raising a spell/skill depend on two things:
: Percentage practiced up to this point, and whether you incur a successful
: usage of the spell/skill or not.

* '''2nd of June, 1996:'''
:- Lords have been implemented. After a hero passes herolevel 500, they
: may attempt a morph into a Lord. Failure rate drops as the player grows
: closer to level 999. Penalties for failure also decrease, as they get
: closer to 999.
:- Legends and Titans are created in a similar fashion to Lords, but instead
: of herolevels, a Lord must be Lordlevel 500+ to morph into a Legend, and
: a Legend must be Legendlevel 500+ to attempt a morph into a Titan.
:- Planeshift spell added. This spell allows a Lord or above to teleport
: into another plane.
:- Fullness and Thirst values changed. Consumption rates vary according
: race.

* '''26th of May, 1996:'''
:- Nosun racial reinstated. Those 'dark' races affected by it will be
: unable to regenerate properly, and will have a delay in the usage of
: socials.
:- Planes have been put in. Teleport, locate object, and other similar
: spells will not work across planes. Existing planes include: Outland,
: Immortal Plane, the Arena, the Hero Quest, and Midgaardia. Midgaardia
: is the major world.
:- Area flags introduced. These flags act like room flags, except they
: affect the entire area. Examples of these flags are no-summon and
: no-plague.
: * Meadow is no-summon and no-plague. Players will not be able to summon
: a mob or PC of any kind into the Meadow. Also, plague will continue to
: hurt anyone affected by it, but will not spread.

* '''5th of May, 1996:'''
:- New Races, and racial abilities added. Version 6 players may take

Racial Mental Aptitude

2025-02-21T15:44:43Z

3nki: /* Comments */

[[Illithids |Illithid]] have an afinity to mental spells including impressive immunity to most
mental manipulation.

Illithid's mental aptitude allows them to deal more damage with mental-type
spells. However, where Illithid are strong with mental-type spells, they are
not very apt with kinetic spells.

Upon delivering a terminal kill to an enemy, an Illithid absorbs the life
essence of the fallen and adds it to their own.

Note: This racial ability is innate and does not require any specific action to
initiate. It operates naturally, like breathing.

==Comments==

This racial gives +2% spell power upon a terminal hit to a mob, which lasts for 3 tics. Each additional terminal hit before the racial expires will add an additional two percent and 3 tics. Once the bonus equals +10% the next terminal hit will give a mana bloom instead of a spell power bonus, and reset the bonus to zero.

''Gargoyles only recently appeared in the realm, but are well known from ancient legends and fables. The ancient tales vary greatly however, making gargoyles somewhat of an enigma. These nearly mindless slaves are disproportionately [[Strength |strong]] for their [[Size |size]] and are extremely [[Dexterity |quick]]. At first glance these hideous looking fellows can often be mistaken for statues and, in fact, they are afforded protection by their [[Racial Armorstone |stone-like skin]]. Gargoyles can [[Racial Infravision |see well in total darkness]] often surprising their foes. They have a small pair of leathery wings that would not seem to be able to support them, but surprisingly enough they can [[Racial Fly |fly]] for short periods of time. The primary weakness these demon-like creatures besides their extreme lack of [[Wisdom |wit]] and [[Intelligence |intellect]], is the fact that when in direct sunlight, [[Racial Nosun |their skin begins to smoke and char, and they cannot recover from wounds]].''

'''*'''''Must attain prestige before remort.''

== Comments ==

Gargoyles get a [[Racial Spell Cost Modifier |10% arcane reduction]] in addition to a [[Racial Spell Cost Modifier |5% general spell reduction]]. They are reasonable arcane spellcasters and are nofail in arcane spells (though not divine or psionic) after 97%; however, the very low int means poor mana gains (vs. human) and slow mana regen. The only [[:Category:Prestige Classes |prestige classes]] available to Gargoyles are [[:Category:Rippers |Ripper]], [[:Category:Stormlords |Stormlord]] and [[:Category:Viziers |Vizier]].

Despite the high con, they do not get as many hitpoints as a number of races, incl. Giant, Ogre, Troll, Drc, Drg, etc. As an example average gains for a Hero Gargoyle Warrior, with max Constitution and following Werredan, are 11hp/level.

Gargoyles get a nice [[Racial Damage Modifier | melee damage modifier]] and not bad dexterity, are medium [[Racial Size| size]] and have a neutral [[Racial Stealth Modifier | stealth mod]]. They also get [[Racial Armorstone]], which is the best [[:Category:Racial Armor |racial armor]] for creatable races and is only beaten by 3 remort races (Dragons, Ignaturs and Golems). For these reasons they make pretty good [[:Category: Rogues |rogues]], [[:Category: Monks |monks]] or [[:Category: Shadowfists |shadowfists]] (shf requires questpoints) as well.

They have a negative [[Racial Archery Modifier | archery modifier]].

At Lord level 25 (or 125 if a remort class) Gargoyles can remort into [[Golems]].

== Diplomatic Corps ==

Illithid may not participate in the [[Diplomatic Corps]].

== Comments ==

Illithids is the first double remort race. You need to be a Lord 125 [[Gith]] in order to remort (before which, you'll have to complete a quest in [[:Category: Mindscape |Mindscape]]).

Illithids receive significant spell cost reductions with a 10% / 20% / 35% spell cost reduction on arcane / divine / psionic spells. They are not nofail on arcane spells at 95, failing fairly often; at a similar rate to humans (+/-20%).

With tentacles coming from every area of their face, no known helmets fit Illithids.

Wikipedia offers the description: "Illithids have a humanoid body with an octopus-like head, which were pointed out for their similarity to H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu."

Illithids are very "splatty" for several reasons: they have low hp, they are missing one eq slot (head), and they have melee vulnerabilities due to their [[:Category:Resistances |resistances]]. Using racial mindflay will also apply a temporary debuf (increasing on each use of the racial) which will increase damage taken by the illithid.

It should also be noted that Illithids have racial evil. This means they will be lacking Protection Evil, which will cause them to take more damage from evil mobs (which are the majority). Further, unless they are a shf or sor, they will not have demonic intent, so during a run they are liable to having their alignment shift to neutral or good and potentially pop any enchanted gear. This makes the Arx Nivea [[Dark Acolyte Quest]] very handy for most Illithids as it gives Demonic Intent at 100%.

Lumoloth's Sting

''Supernaturally sharp and quivering in your grasp, this giant stinger once belonged to the vengeful goddess Lumoloth. The piercing, venom tipped blade inspires thoughts of revenge and retribution in all who wield it.''

== Comments ==

[[Lumoloth]] is a large boss mob, and requires spawning - to do so one needs to kill about 50 mobs that relate to Lumoloth (if a mob's death does not yield a colored message, it's a Lumoloth-related mob), self-spelling if required, and without leaving the area. The process can take several spellups, and makes the weapon extremely difficult to fodder. Getting a good max damage (49 or 50) requires luck.

While significantly harder to obtain than the [[Dragon-Blade]], classes lacking the sneak skill, or players who dislike the skill's short duration, might find the weapon useful. In addition, it is twice the weight, which is better for the skill [[smash]] (although classes most likely interested in wielding this piercer don't get smash).

== Diplomatic Corps ==

Half-Elves may participate in the Diplomatic Corps every 10 levels at lowmort. All Half-Elves should report to [[Aeldiskaa|Aeldiskaa]] when they are ready to begin.

== Comments ==

Although an offspring of [[Elves |Elves]], the Half-Elves get only a fraction of the magic power of their ancestors - they receive a 5% spell cost reduction (with an additional -1% arcane reduction), noticeably smaller mana pools (though still larger than human), and are not no-fail at 95%. However, they can tingle spells to no-fail.

They have no damage modifiers, no natural armor, modest hp pool, a positive [[Racial Stealth Modifier |stealth modifier]], and a positive [[Racial Archery Modifier |archery modifier]], making them similar to humans but with slightly better casting/archery/stealth abilities.

Overall, Half-Elves are a good choice should you not desire to remort into a [[High Elves |High Elf]], but instead into a [[Sprites |Sprite]] or [[Driders |Drider]], since they have smaller TNL than other, spellcasting oriented races, and will reach the remort goal more quickly. However it is difficult to make the case for Half-Elf, as both [[Lizardmen |Lizard]] and [[Drow]] offer more remort options and greater abilities for similar TNL.

''The product of a union between an [[Elves |elf]] and a [[Humans |human]] parent, half-elves do not have the full magical powers of [[Elves |elves]], but are [[Strength |stronger]] and [[Constitution |hardier]] than [[Elves |elves]] (albeit not so [[Strength |strong]] and [[Constitution |hardy]] as a [[Humans |human]].) Half-Elves can identify with either their [[Elves |elven]] or their [[Humans |human]] ancestry, but in either case tend to make better spellcasters than many [[Humans |humans]]. Half-Elves have retained the ability of their [[Humans |human]] parent to [[Racial Haggle |haggle]] with [[:Category: Shopkeepers |shopkeepers]] effectively over prices.''

== Diplomatic Corps ==

Half-Elves may participate in the Diplomatic Corps every 10 levels at lowmort. All Half-Elves should report to [[Aeldiskaa|Aeldiskaa]] when they are ready to begin.

== Comments ==

Although an offspring of [[Elves |Elves]], the Half-Elves get only a fraction of the magic power of their ancestors - they receive a 5% spell cost reduction (with an additional -1% arcane reduction), noticeably smaller mana pools (though still larger than human), and are not no-fail at 95%. However, they can tingle spells to no-fail.

They have no damage modifiers, no natural armor, modest hp pool, a positive [[Racial Stealth Modifier |stealth modifier]], and a positive [[Racial Archery Modifier |archery modifier]], making them similar to humans but with slightly better casting/archery/stealth abilities.

Overall, Half-Elves are a good choice should you not desire to remort into a [[High Elves |High Elf]], but instead into a [[Sprites |Sprite]] or [[Driders |Drider]], since they have smaller TNL than other, spellcasting oriented races, and will reach the remort goal more quickly. However it is difficult to make the case for Half-Elf, as both [[Lizardmen |Lizard]] and [[Drow]] offer more remort options and greater abilities for similar TNL.

==1996==

The following is all that we know about pre-1997, however.

* '''June 16th, 1996:'''
:- Inline color implemented. Everyone has the ability to change the color
: of the various texts they type. Refer to help 'inline color' for the
: syntax.
:- Lord Channel added. Only Lords and above may send to or hear from it.
:- Last command changed so that it displays an identifying label instead of
: just physical level (eg. 100th level Mage Hero, vs. Level 51 Mage)
:- Channel +all/-all fixed so that it toggles all channels on/off, instead
: of activating deaf mode.
:- New learning system introduced. Players now have the possiblity of
: increasing their adept level higher than the maximum practiced percentage.
: The chances of successfully raising a spell/skill depend on two things:
: Percentage practiced up to this point, and whether you incur a successful
: usage of the spell/skill or not.

* '''2nd of June, 1996:'''
:- Lords have been implemented. After a hero passes herolevel 500, they
: may attempt a morph into a Lord. Failure rate drops as the player grows
: closer to level 999. Penalties for failure also decrease, as they get
: closer to 999.
:- Legends and Titans are created in a similar fashion to Lords, but instead
: of herolevels, a Lord must be Lordlevel 500+ to morph into a Legend, and
: a Legend must be Legendlevel 500+ to attempt a morph into a Titan.
:- Planeshift spell added. This spell allows a Lord or above to teleport
: into another plane.
:- Fullness and Thirst values changed. Consumption rates vary according
: race.

* '''26th of May, 1996:'''
:- Nosun racial reinstated. Those 'dark' races affected by it will be
: unable to regenerate properly, and will have a delay in the usage of
: socials.
:- Planes have been put in. Teleport, locate object, and other similar
: spells will not work across planes. Existing planes include: Outland,
: Immortal Plane, the Arena, the Hero Quest, and Midgaardia. Midgaardia
: is the major world.
:- Area flags introduced. These flags act like room flags, except they
: affect the entire area. Examples of these flags are no-summon and
: no-plague.
: * Meadow is no-summon and no-plague. Players will not be able to summon
: a mob or PC of any kind into the Meadow. Also, plague will continue to
: hurt anyone affected by it, but will not spread.

* '''5th of May, 1996:'''
:- New Races, and racial abilities added. Version 6 players may take
: advantage of the skills given to their race.
:- Afar code now in. Can now use socials with a person in another room.
: Afars can only be done with people in the same area, and will not work
: in private rooms.

* '''12th of May, 1996:'''
:- Angels are in, of course, and with them you can now "who angel"
: and note angel.

''Trogs are a reptilian race of humanoids that live in subterranean places. They are quite [[Strength |strong]], have above average [[Dexterity |reflexes]], and are extremely [[Constitution |tough]]. They do however have a huge lack in mental capacity. Because of these factors they tend to be ferocious [[:Category: Warriors |warriors]], but when the rare spellcaster is found, they are not very adept at their magic. Trogs can be identified by their reptilian features, by the nauseous odor they emit in battle, and by their very repulsiveness. Troglodytes are a subterranean [[:Category: Races |race]], and as such have developed the ability to [[Racial Infravision |see well in the darkness]] of the underworld.''

== Comments ==

Troglodytes have a flat 25% increase in their spell costs, but a 2.4% (that's 0.024!) reduction to psionic spells on top of it. They also have a '''very''' high casting fail rate.

Trogs hit harder with those simple, savage weapons like clubs and staffs. They also emit an overpowering [[Stench |stench]] that makes mobs think twice about engaging.

Troglodytes do not get a damage modifier, are terrible at archery, have horrible stealth (will fail backstabs 25% of the times due to stealth failures alone) and are bad casters. They have some more dex and str than their same-TNL cousins lizardmen, and a bit more hps, but lack the lizardmen armor.

Overall, lizardmen might be preferable for a wide number of remort paths, since they have the same tnl and are much more versatile, but trogs also serve their purposes. Somewhere. Probably. (pst: monks!)

==1996==

The following is all that we know about pre-1997, however.

* '''June 16th, 1996:'''
:- Inline color implemented. Everyone has the ability to change the color
: of the various texts they type. Refer to help 'inline color' for the
: syntax.
:- Lord Channel added. Only Lords and above may send to or hear from it.
:- Last command changed so that it displays an identifying label instead of
: just physical level (eg. 100th level Mage Hero, vs. Level 51 Mage)
:- Channel +all/-all fixed so that it toggles all channels on/off, instead
: of activating deaf mode.
:- New learning system introduced. Players now have the possiblity of
: increasing their adept level higher than the maximum practiced percentage.
: The chances of successfully raising a spell/skill depend on two things:
: Percentage practiced up to this point, and whether you incur a successful
: usage of the spell/skill or not.

* '''2nd of June, 1996:'''
:- Lords have been implemented. After a hero passes herolevel 500, they
: may attempt a morph into a Lord. Failure rate drops as the player grows
: closer to level 999. Penalties for failure also decrease, as they get
: closer to 999.
:- Legends and Titans are created in a similar fashion to Lords, but instead
: of herolevels, a Lord must be Lordlevel 500+ to morph into a Legend, and
: a Legend must be Legendlevel 500+ to attempt a morph into a Titan.
:- Planeshift spell added. This spell allows a Lord or above to teleport
: into another plane.
:- Fullness and Thirst values changed. Consumption rates vary according
: race.

* '''26th of May, 1996:'''
:- Nosun racial reinstated. Those 'dark' races affected by it will be
: unable to regenerate properly, and will have a delay in the usage of
: socials.
:- Planes have been put in. Teleport, locate object, and other similar
: spells will not work across planes. Existing planes include: Outland,
: Immortal Plane, the Arena, the Hero Quest, and Midgaardia. Midgaardia
: is the major world.
:- Area flags introduced. These flags act like room flags, except they
: affect the entire area. Examples of these flags are no-summon and

== Comments ==

Troglodytes have a flat 25% increase in their spell costs, but a 2.4% (that's 0.024!) reduction to psionic spells on top of it. They also have a '''very''' high casting fail rate.

Troglodytes do not get a damage modifier, are terrible at archery, have horrible stealth (will fail backstabs 25% of the times due to stealth failures alone) and are bad casters. They have some more dex and str than their same-TNL cousins lizardmen, and a bit more hps, but lack the lizardmen armor.

Overall, lizardmen might be preferable for a wide number of remort paths, since they have the same tnl and are much more versatile, but trogs also serve their purposes. Somewhere. Probably. (pst: monks!)

== Diplomatic Corps ==

Humans may participate in the Diplomatic Corps every 10 levels at lowmort. All humans should report to [[Bob]] when they are ready to begin.

== Comments ==

Human is the run-of-the-mill race, not terrible at any particular task, but also not good at it either.

Hp-wise and mana-wise, humans are poor, compared to any specialist race like giants or elves. They do not have a racial damage modifier, nor an archery modifier, nor a stealth modifier. They also lack natural armor or the spell-casting no-fail or cost-discount attributes of some other races.

Their singular racial ability, the haggle, is practicable early by virtually every class save a special few, and overall humans are considered to be good in only one thing - leveling fast.

Thus, experienced players will make a human to reach remort levels as quick as possible and then remort into any of the available remort races, turning humans, as a race, into ''remort fodder''.

== Diplomatic Corps ==

Giants may participate in the Diplomatic Corps every 10 levels at lowmort. All Giants should report to [[Nhug|Nhug]] when they are ready to begin.

== Comments ==

Giants get an enormous amount of HP, more than any other race, remort or creatable. This makes them absurdly big regardless of class. However, their dexterity (and thus dodging) is poor and they lack natural armor, so in combat they tend to lose the HP at a faster pace. Due to this flaw they make exceptional berserkers (berserkers are highly resistant to damage).

Giants also have a racial damage modifier and considerable strength, so they make excellent warriors and other brute classes.

Their powerswing ability makes them very proficient with two-handed weapons, allowing them to deal more damage than races without it - thus paladins are also a possible career (paladins use two-handed swords).

Giant stealth is bad, archery as well, and casting ability is poor.

== Elemental Giants ==

The [[:Category: Elemental Giant Races | Elemental Giants]] are subgroups of the Giant race that have somehow
been imbued with Elemental magic. This Elemental nature that permeates
their being gives these Giants access to a variety of unique abilities.
It also allows Elemental Giants to cast more spells before resting than
ordinary Giants.

Despite their distinct nature, Elemental Giants share many similarities
with their more common cousins. All Giants are massive creatures that
are incredibly strong and extremely hardy. They all have a fondness of
eating corpses and they all excel at using two-handed weapons.

Like ordinary Giants, Elemental Giants are, generally speaking, atrocious
spell-casters. However, their Elemental nature allows them to fare better
than normal with certain specific types of magic. This magical affinity
means that Elemental Giants will have better success when casting certain
types of spells, and they will expend less magical energy while doing so.

There is an important distinction between Elemental Giants and true
Elementals. True Elementals are entirely composed of their corresponding
element, be it Fire, Air, Earth, or Water. Elemental Giants remain beings
of flesh and blood.

Giants are eligible to become Elemental Giants at Lord Level 25.
The following races are available along with their corresponding element:

[[Fire Giants]] - Fire

[[Cloud Giants]] - Air

[[Stone Giants]] - Earth

[[Frost Giants]] - Water

Elemental Giants seem to have a -5% spell cost on their elemental spells (e.g. Cloud Giants have -5% spell cost for air, water, or electric magic) however they cannot tingle these spells to no-fail even at 100%. That being said, fail rate is quite reasonable at 100%.

''White Dragons hail from the Frozen North, and they rule over their lands with the cruelness of Cold itself. White Dragons are less interested than other Dragons in raiding & pillaging foreign lands. But this does not mean they are any more forgiving of those who trespass on their territory. Despite their massive size, White Dragons are well camouflaged amidst the snow and ice by their stark white scales. More than one snowblind explorer has met their fate after accidentally stumbling upon a White Dragon's lair.

''White Dragons can [[Racial Frigid |make their scales frigidly cold]]. Anyone who touches them becomes more vulnerable to ice and frost. White Dragons protect themselves against spellcasters by coating their bodies in a layer of [[Racial Icemirror |magically reflective ice]]. Due to their time spent amidst the ice, White Dragons have [[Racial Surefoot |terrific balance]]. This makes them much more difficult to knock down in battle.

== Comments ==

I have not adjusted the Well-Suited or Ill-Suited lists from regular (Red) Dragons, but presumably Black Dragons have better stealth and would therefore make better Shadowfists, Black Circle Initiates, Rogues and Assassins.

Black Dragons retain the same racial size of "Very Large".

The stealth changes for Black Dragon from normal (Red) dragon seems to be +1 stealth level to -1 from -2, making Black Dragon's similar to trolls. This means that if you are a Black Dragon Rogue or Bladedancer you can still fail stealth checks. If you are a BCI, the stealth bonus from Nightcloak (+10% stealth) is big enough when combined with changing to Black Dragon that you will never fail stealth checks. This has been tested by playing a Black Dragon BCI for approximately 15 hero levels with zero stealth fails while Nightcloak was up.

Black Dragons gain several new racials, including "Prowl" and "Terror".

Terror works like the mob_spec that can make you flee. You cause all mobs engaged in direct combat with you attempt to flee and they will either flee completely, have fear cast on them or trip and fall down. It is exhausted for eight ticks when used.

Prowl is a self-buffing racial that provides +2% stealth for 8 ticks on a 12 tick cooldown. It also provides your hits with a damage boost of approximately 1 star. ie: *MULTILATING vs MULTILATING. The major drawback to this racial is that it can only be used during nighttime (check "time" in game) which lasts from 7pm until 5am game time.

Spell: 'midnight prowl' modifies stealth by + 2% for 0 hours.
