Shows you the spells/skills that you are affected by

Shows you your age, you grow older as time passes. Age is calculated from the amount of total online time you have.

Your 'armor class' (called AC for short) is a measure of how hard you are to hit. Several things go into calculating your AC:

• Your dexterity can affect it from -10 to +25
• Your style points (Fighters only)
• Armor (the more the better)
• Spells can have a positive/negativ effect.
• Certain orders get bonuses or penalities to AC
• If you can't see who is attacking you or what weapon they are using, there is a penality.

In general, the higher your armor class is, the better (i.e. you will get hit less in battle) Beaware that heavy armor can affect your spell casting ability (see SPELLFAIL) Also, some attacks do not consider AC in determining if damage is taken.

Armor has an intrinsic amount of protection. This amount is multiplied by a factor based on the size of the area covered and by the likelyhood it is a target of an attack. BODY is multiplied by 3, LEGS, ARMS, HEAD, and ABOUT are multiplied by 2. All other locations are straight.
Magical armor protection, of the sort 'Affects armor class by 5' is not multiplied.

NOTE: Keep in mind armor class starts at 0 (naked) and goes up. This is a major difference from D&D Style and Standard SMAUG code.

Your alignment can range from +1000 to -1000. When you are +1000 this means that you are good aligned, when you are -1000 this means you are evil aligned, and when you are 0 aligned this means you are neutral.

NOTE: You can change your alignment by killing good or evil aligned mobs, by wearing items with 'good' or 'evil' flag, and by being around other people of a certain align. This is a major difference from Standard SMAUG code.

This is your current bank balance.

This is represents your value (i.e hitpoints) with out any equipment or skill/spell affects, your 'base' value.

This is the weight you are carrying/able to carry. It is the weight of the equipment used and things held in inventory. Weight affects things such as spellfail/skillfail.

Charisma (CHA in your 'score') represents your characters physical beauty and charm. It primarily affects:

• a character's practice rate with a language scholar
• prices charged to a character by shopkeepers

No class receives charisma as a prime attribute.

This shows you the number of charmed mobs you are controling/ able to control. The number will grows as you rise in levels. See the section on charmies, recurrected, pets in the help section.

The name of your clan.

The name of your class.

Constitution (CON in your 'score') represents your character's physical stamina. Among other things, it affects:

• the number of hitpoints a character receives each time it levels
• the number of hitpoints recovered or regenerated at each tick if resting or sleeping
• the number of additional moves a character receives at level
• improvement or worsening of a character's mental state, thus affecting general endurance.

No class receives constitution as a prime attribute.

Your characters condition depends on your diet and drinking habbits.

Represents the amount of damage you inflict upon an opponent. The higher the number, the better.

Dexterity (DEX in your 'score') represents your character's agility, and it affects (among other things):

• the maximum number of items you can carry at once in your inventory; with each additional point of dex you can carry additional items.
• each additional point of dexterity also lowers (improves) your natural armor class.
• the number of new moves you receive each time you level, as well as the number of moves you regenerate at each tick (when resting to refresh or regain movement points).
• success chances with bash, stun and gouge, and helps determine whether a thief will be able to poison a weapon or tumble effectively.

Dexterity is also very important for quaffing potions in combat. High dex will allow you to quaff without dropping many potions during the heat of battle, while a poor dexterity will cause you to accidentally drop many of the valuable vials.

Dexterity is the prime attribute of rogues.

Your character advances in power by gaining experience. Type LEVEL in game to see how many experience points you'll need for the next few levels.

You gain experience by:

• inflicting damage upon an opponent
• being part of a group that kills an opponent
• succeeding while learning a skill or a spell through real world usage

You lose experience by:

• fleeing from combat

• recalling out of combat
• being the target of some spells (energy drain, etc.)
• dying

The experience you get from a kill depends on several things: how many players are in your group; your level versus the level of the monster; your alignment versus the monster's alignment and some random variation.

Your last 50 kills are recorded. Each time you kill a creature that has been one of your last 50 kills you will receive less and less exp for it. The creature will also learn from its experience with you over time; if its intelligence is higher than your own it will begin to gain an advantage over you in combat.

This is a not yet fully implemented feature, as soon as it is up and running more info will be posted here.

The amount of gold you are currently carrying. Gold can be safely stored in the bank. Carrying too much gold around is risky because certain NPCs will try to steal it.

Glory is a measure of how valiant you are, and is accumulated by taking part in quests (mostly) and possibly in a few other ways in the near to distant future. Glory can be "spent to improve your items and weapons, among possible other things in the future.

Represents your chances of hitting your opponent. The higher the number, the better.

Hp is an abbreviation for hit points. All classes begin with 20 hp at creation and gain between 6 and 19 hp per gained level, depending on class, race and CON. Equipment can also add to your total hp.

Luck (LCK in your 'score') represents the tendency of a character to succeed or prosper through chance or good fortune. As in life, the exact extent of this factor remains and will always remain shrouded in uncertainty...

Also as in life, however, it can be said with surety that its influence on a character is pervasive. Though it affects some aspects of life here in a very direct manner, it can affect nearly every aspect to at least a degree.

Your level. Type 'level' in game to see how many experiance points are needed to next level.

The name of your order.

Shows you your current position, can be anything from standing, sleeping to incapicitatet. Position does have an effect on your AC.

Perception is a approximation of your general "senses". Sight, smell, taste, etc all rolled into one. It governs things like how far you away you can scan or target something, how apt you are to notice a slight sound, and things of this nature.

This shows you the names of spells/effect that you are affected by. When you reach level 20 it will also so you the duration of the affect, what effect it has.

Intelligence (INT in your 'score') represents your character's mental capacity. Among other things, it affects:

• heavily influences the amount of mana a character gains at level
• affects the amount of mana regenerated or recovered at each tick if a character is resting or sleeping
• the rate at which a character learns a new skill or spell
• the percentage rate at which a character practices a new language

Intelligence is an important factor in learning between combatants. If a character fights a creature several times, the more intelligent of the
two opponents will gain an advantage over time...

The amount of items you are carrying / can carry. Dexterity has an effect on the number of items you can carry. Strength on the weight of items.

Mana is the living inner power used by Druids, Clerics, Mages, Rangers and even Thieves to cast their magic. Warriors also have mana, but do not cast spells. As undead beings.

Your mental state is your current frame of mind, and how clearly and realistically you view your surroundings. Mental states can be affected
by prolonged combat, hunger, thirst, or poison. If you are affected by one of the above for a period of time, your mental state will begin to
deteriorate, and you will not view your surroundings as they truly are. You may begin to hallucinate, or become too lethargic to function, and
your general abilities will be affected. In extreme cases you may collapse from exhaustion or enter a delirious coma.

To restore your mental state, you may need to rest (resting and sleeping will speed your recovery), eat, cure whatever poison afflicts you, etc.
Note that if you are malnourished your state will not improve, even with sleep, until you have fed and/or quenched your thirst.

Shows you the amount of experiance points needed until next level.

The regen stat shows you your ability to regenerate hp, mana and stamina. 100% is the norm, higher is better, and less is worse than the norm. Regen is affected by various spells, items, and ailment.

While leveling between level 35 and 50, there is a random chance that you will get a random special skill. If you havent received one by level 50, you will automatically get one. It is completely random which one you get. The trick is, you will not find out WHICH one you got till later. Starting at level 70, there is a chance each time you level that you will find out which special skill you have. If you havent found out when you reach level 99, you will automatically. See the character section for more info on secrets.

Spell failur is a measure of how likely a spell is to fail when being cast. It is affected mainly by weight and a few other factors. A 0% spellfail does not mean that you will never fail a spell, just that its alot more likely you will succede.

Strength

Strength (STR in your 'score') represents your character's physical power.

The most common concern with strength deals with how much your character can carry. For each additional point of strength you gain an additional amount of maximum carryable weight. Any character with 20 strength can carry 500kgs; Warriors and Rangers can have a maximum of 25 strength, and can therefore carry up to 999kgs when their strength is at its maximum. Strength also affects (among other things):

• damage roll and hitroll; for each additional point of strength, each of these will increase
• chances of success for bash, stun, bashdoor, shove and drag, and the ability to dual-wield heavier weapons

Strength is the prime attribute of fighters.

Stamina determines your ability to perform different actions over a longer period of time. Stamina is used when moving around the mud, fighting and wide range of other stuff. If your stamina reaches a critical low, you will need to rest or require healing. To allow
for faster recovery, you may SIT, REST, or SLEEP.

Style referes to your fighting style. The amount of points you are able to allocate into style grows as you gain in level. See the advanced help on style in the help section.

Weaponspeed is a measure of the speed by witch you are able to hit with your weapons. Presently the only thing that affects this are the weapon speed modifires. This will change in the future.

Wisdom (WIS in your 'score') represents your character's wisdom and ability to incorporate learning. Among other things, it affects:

• the number of practices a character gains each time he/she levels
• the mana a character gains each time he/she levels, though intelligence affects this much more heavily
• the percentage a character learns of a new language at each practice, though intelligence affects this slightly more
• the ability to remove a trap or poison a weapon

Wisdom is the prime attribute of priests.
