#370 Usage: nosummon Due to problems we've had with players killing other players by summoning them to Bad Places, all characters now have SUMMON PROTECTION turned on by default. This prevents people from summoning you and gives you a warning message if someone tries. If you want to let someone summon you (i.e. if someone wants to summon you for a legitimate reason), type NOSUMMON to turn off summon protection. You can then type NOSUMMON again to turn protection back on. See Also: Summon Toggle ~ #371 Usage: notell NOTELL prevents other players from using 'tell' to communicate with you. (notell) will appear after your name in the WHO list if you have notell on. See Also: Flags Tell Toggle Who ~ #372 Usage: offer rent For use in the receptions of inns. Offer makes the innkeeper tell you the cost of storing your belongings for one day. Remt stores your belongings and exits you from the game. You re-enter where you rented. Rent costs 5% your credits, charged daily. If you rent for more than 20 days, you will have zero credits upon returning. Galactic law prevents innkeepers from selling the possession of of patrons who are unable to pay. Therefore, even if you return with zero credits, you will still have all of your items, weapons, equipment, and ships. Should you plan to be gone a long time, and wish to not lose all your credits, you may have yourself frozen at a CRYOGENIC CENTER for a one-time charge equal to three day's rent.

Each value of experience is incremental from the last value. That means: if you sum up all the experience values between two levels by adding them together, that total will be how much is required to 'gain' from one end to the other of that range. See Also: Gain Levels ~ #376 Usage: pour pour out Pour liquids from one container to another. Pouring out simply empties the contents of the container onto the ground. Medical syringes can be emptied using the empty command. > pour canteen cup > pour cup out See Also: Empty Fill ~ #377 Usage: practice practice Practice is the way you improve your spells and skills. You can only do so in your guild, where your guildmaster teaches you these skills. Type 'practice ' to improve your abilities while in your guild. You can only practice a certain amount for each level you gain. Unused practice sessions will accumulate for use in future levels. If you type practice anywhere other than in your guild, you will get a list of all of the spells and skills you know and your level of proficiency at each. Using 'primary', 'secondary', 'tertiary' as an argument will list the skills you have learned specific to your respective class. Using 'special' shows racial skills, including special languages.

While COMLINK will broadcast to everyone who has their comlink on, you can select to broadcast to a private channel. This can be set using the PCOMLINK command. Anyone can select a pcom channel number and listen in. There are over 20,000 channels so you are likely to find some privacy from other players here. Examples: > pcom 0 You turn your private channel off. > pcom 451 You tune your comlink to channel 514. > priv WOO! hi there!! what's up? yeehaw! See Also: Communication Comlink ~ #379 Proficiencies are your abilities to fight with certain types of weapons. You basically start out terrible at all types of fighting, although some races get bonuses to certain proficiencies. You can train in any proficiency -- which costs experience -- to improve your ability. Improved ability means you will hit harder and miss less with a weapon of that proficiency. Classes do not affect proficiency training. You train your proficiencies by enabling AUTOPROF and entering combat. The more you improve, the more it will cost you to keep improving, but the results are most definitely worth it. Certain attribute stats help add to your combat damage. The table below summarizes each proficiency. Weapon Proficiency Attributes Typical Items Utilized ------------------ ----------- ----------------------- Hand to Hand Strength, Dexterity No weapons. Hands and feet. Blaster Dexterity Blasters and laser weapons. Ranged Weapons Dexterity Pulse rifles and bowcasters. Daggers Dexterity, Strength Knives and small blades. Melee Dexterity, Strength Force pikes, swords. Lightsabers Dexterity, Wisdom Large variety of Lightsabers. Force Combat Intelligence, Wisdom Kaiburr Crystals.
