Created page with " From "help affects:" Affects: Usage: affects <target in room> Usage: affects <target in room>, <type of affects to list> Type of affects to list: all..."

New page

From "help affects:"
Affects:

Usage: affects <[[target]] in [[room]]>
Usage: affects <target in room>, <type of affects to list>

Type of affects to list:

all
attack
defense
lock
resist
special
statistic

Example:

> aff [[nijlo]] (lists all affects on character nijlo)
> aff nij, special (lists special affects on nij)
> aff nij, r (lists resist affects on nij)
> aff nij, lock (similar to typing 'prevention')

This will compile a short list of all affects a being is currently affected by,
in addition to the [[Nodekian time]] remaining for each affect, measured by
[[solar phases]] (minutes).

When affects fall, the [[mob|creature]] the affect is falling from will be given a
message as well as the room he or she is in.

Quite possibly the most important thing to understand about affects at Nodeka
is that they roll. This idea is fairly simple, but often misunderstood. What
this means is that if you have two affects which are seemingly the same, Nodeka
will roll to the next affect if the first check fails.

For example, if you have the [[racial]] "[[natural flight]]" and the spell "[[flight]]" is
bestowed upon you, Nodeka will attempt both if the first fails. If, for
example, you attempt [[move]] north, Nodeka will check your racial flight and if
that check fails, Nodeka will then roll on to the next flight affect and check
that. This means that having duplicate affects is almost never useless, unless
you have 100% in an affect bonus. If that is the case, it *may* be impossible
to fail, leaving the other affects unchecked.

For details on what each affect does in list, simply type:

help affect: <affect name>

The affect name is not the ability name, for example:

Ability name Affect name
-------------- ----------------------
[[cloak]] - cloaked 102% (24:40)
