__NOTOC__

==Description==
The hierophant is nothing more than the befouled remains of a fallen priest, corrupted and turned to do the bidding of a false deity. The creature is entirely shrouded in tattered black robes, concealing all about it but its vague shape.

==In Depth==
===Special Attack===
A sinister Maelshyvean hierophant surges with a bloody crimson aura as a writhing ebony tentacle lashes out of its robes and strikes out at you!

The barbed tentacle coils viciously around your left arm, crushing bone and ripping flesh with a good strike!

===Spells===
*[[casts spell::Venom (spell)|Venom]]
*[[casts spell::Strange Arrow]]
*[[casts spell::Huldah's Pall]]
*[[casts spell::Shadow Web]]

===Items Carried===
*some {{cloot|i|tattered black robes}}
*a {{cloot|w|bloodwood staff capped with an upturned claw of obsidian}}

===Cap Summary===

Simple summary: This creature caps at about 650-700. Detailed summary caps are below:

Evasion basically stops at 700-720

Shield/armor still exp slows at 720

Stealth exp slows at 700 and stops at around 720.

Weapons slow at around 625 and stop at 700.

You can hit them with 350-400 in TM and Debilitation magic, but you have to raise your 'spell integrity' high due to their natural immunity to spells (evil).

A good suggestion is to have all mental stats to at least 60. Their spells will kill you quickly if they hit you and usually will result in a stun.

Compared to other creatures of similar difficulty, these creatures have high parry ability, making it more difficult to hit with melee weaponry.

==Notes==
*Stores spells and keeps them active until released. Active buffs tied with the orb will show via power perceive. Skill dictates how many spells can be held in the orb at one time. The more spells active in the orb, the faster it depletes its charge and must be infused with more mana to maintain the spells.
*Powered by mana held within orb, can be refilled by casting OM on the orb, or by infusing mana into the orb.
*Only the cleric spells listed below can be stored within the orb.

Per Ricinus: 
*Casting OM uses the standard Utility and Holy Magic skill blend to determine how much mana you can use per cast. This applies to the original cast as well refreshing casts. 
* OM casts always use 100% of the mana you are able to use to cast. 
* The size of the orb is determined based on your Holy Magic skill when the orb is created. 
* Roundtime reduction for casting OM is based on Holy Magic. 
* Roundtime reduction for touching or breaking the orb is based on Arcana. 
* Infusion loss is reduced by Arcana.
* Arcana is the skill that determines how many spells you can load up into OM.

Other notes:
* At 800 Arcana skill, you infuse with 75% of mana attempted 
* Different spells have different, "Orb slots" associated with them, having ritual spells being the largest. Increasing Arcana allows for more spells at once.
** Persistence of Mana, Murulla's Flames, and Sanyu Lyba use the largest number of slots followed by Halo and Benediction. The lowest number of slots are used by all other compatible spells. (See below)

'''Usage:''' 
To cast the orb initially the cleric must have a Meraud favor orb in hand, the orb does not need to be filled. Simply Prepare the spell and cast it on the orb. Under the new magic system it requires roughly 220 holy magic to successfully cast.

To tie a spell into the orb prepare the desired spell and then '''TOUCH ORB''' 

To release a spell tied to the orb simply '''RELEASE <SPELL>''' 

To toggle the atmospheric messaging of the orb '''TAP ORB''' 

To refill the orb, either harness and infuse OM or prep OM and cast orb. Infusions are less efficient than casting. 

Spells cast into an orb that can be cast on items, such as Bless and water or [[Glythtide's Gift]] and drinks, can be cast on items without interfering with the orb-stored spell.

The pain bores deeper into your body, the energy of your spell carving into your nervous system like molten knives.

You feel the horizons of your magical senses being torn asunder, stretched beyond their normal bounds.

Your spell finally takes full shape, and a vast aural emptiness blots out the pain as quickly as it had come. Your magical senses tingle, your ability to sustain the fatigues of spellcasting heightened.

Slowly you relax the pose of your hands, allowing the cramping muscles a moment of serenity.

<Cleric>'s eyes flare with an ethereal blue glow as his body grows rigid, contorting against the unmistakable throes of great pain.

Traces of ethereal blue light flicker over <Cleric>'s form, like tendrils of unnatural lightning. His face contorts in agony, eyes rolling back into his head as he attempts to retain concentration.

*[[Soul Shield]] can be cast on a linked player when at range.
*By Indefinite duration, the spell will maintain the link between two targets until the cleric forcibly ends it, via RELEASE VIGIL.
*Seems to maintain it's link across great distances. Certain rooms remove the link, however, and certain sequences will remove the link as well.
*The more mana put into the spell matrix, the higher possible amounts of spirit energy can be transferred per pulse.

Bluff

2018-09-02T15:18:42Z

SEREZE: /* Syntax */

{{incomplete|Contested stats missing}}
{{RTOC}}
Bluffing is an [[page type is::ability]] exclusively available to [[guild association is::Bard]]s. Bluff uses the Bard's [[Charisma]] stat in most contests and also drains the [[Bardic Mojo]] pool.

==Syntax==
Hah! As a Bard, you can BLUFF like so...

BLUFF <player|item|critter>
BLUFF <player|critter> <option>
Options: emperor, sister, lanival, baron, merchant, sidhlot,
priest, swallow, glythtide, penguin
BLUFF <self>
BLUFF DODGE to dodge in combat.
BLUFF DISTRACT to gain a better chance at hiding.
BLUFF AMAZE to put on a charismatic show.
BLUFF DEAD to play dead. *** Be warned, this could get you killed! ***

==Dodge==
This will attempt to lower an attacker's confidence, making them less able to land a strike against the Bard for a short period of time. It's a percentage skill debuff on all enemies that fail the contest ([[Musical Theory]] & [[stats]] for the Bard and an unknown skill & stats for the defender). The better the Bard wins the contest the greater the debuff and the longer the duration.

==Distract==
Distract gives the Bard a one-time bonus to hiding by diverting the attentions of those around him. Acts as if the [[Hiding skill|HIDE]] verb had been used.

==Amaze==
Bard puts on a charismatic display, providing a temporary %15 bonus to their [[Charisma]] stat while also providing a %15 debuff to their [[Discipline]] stat.

'''Sample Messaging'''

Gathering the attention of everyone nearby, you begin to weave a story so highly improbable that it should cause your audience to burst into laughter. Instead, utilizing your Bardic flair and zest, your charismatic performance is such that it has everyone believing your tales of great exploits and legendary adventures (all with you as the hero, of course). You imagine that after such a breathtaking display, the adoring crowds should be much more vulnerable to your persuasive charm now.

==Dead==
Using their flair for the dramatic, the Bard attempts to convince those around him that he has been slain. Will produce messaging as if the Bard had been struck down to all those foolish enough to fall for the ruse.

In combat, critters will disengage and move on as if the Bard was actually dead. A failed attempt will leave you lying on the ground with RT, so caution is advised when using this ability.

Combat

2018-09-01T23:26:33Z

SEREZE: /* Offensive Skills */

{{UpdateDR3|Needs massive updating}}
{{Incomplete|needs massive work}}
{{RTOC}}
==Introduction==
Although not the primary focus of [[DragonRealms]] as some may argue, '''combat''' is for many guilds and players an integral part of experiencing DragonRealms. DragonRealms has a wonderfully intricate and diverse combat system. Given the sheer amount of information needed to truly succeed in combat, however, many players new to combat (or the game) are initially overwhelmed. The purpose of this page is to serve as a guide for combat at all skill levels.

Note that this guide will deal primarily with standard critter-hunting. For tips on Player versus Player (PvP) combat, refer to individual guild pages. A PvP guide may be forthcoming at some point.

==Beginner's Guide==

Welcome to combat! Combat in DragonRealms is fun and challenging; however, I remember as a young player how overwhelming combat could be at first. This guide is meant to help players completely new to combat, whether they be a transcendent Moon Mage or a Commoner fresh out of character generation. Let's start from the very beginning, which is...

===Equipment You Will Need===

*'''A weapon''': There is little substitute for a good weapon at your side. Magic is amazingly versatile but has definite limitations; a weapon in your hand will be equally deadly no matter how poor the mana in the room is. The great thing about DragonRealms is that the experience system allows one to do almost anything they want; as a result, nothing on this list is absolutely necessary. Non-combatants wishing to learn only Parry and not a weapon class itself can substitute parry sticks for weapons. A break-down of all weapon classes, with positives and negatives, will follow shortly.

*'''A shield''': Many characters choose to train with a [[Shield skill|shield]] in addition to [[Parry Ability skill|parry]] and [[Evasion skill|evasion]]. Shields add to a character's [[hinderance]], but tend to be more reliable than other defenses when the character is [[stun|stunned]], prone, or otherwise compromised. Shields may be held in the left hand or worn on the arm. Armworn shields offer a greater hinderance penalty and do not protect as well, but leave the character's off hand free to hold other objects. Most guilds are limited in what shields may be worn on the arm.

*'''Some armor''': Armor hinders your [[stealth]], [[evasion skill]], and several other skills, but is vital for protecting a character at any level. Attacks made on body parts (specifically the hands and eyes) which are unarmored have a much higher chance of stunning a character. Armor also offers an absorptive and an ablative effect, either outright deflecting blows or cushioning some of the damage.

For more on how to evaluate weapons and armors see [[Appraisal_skill#Appraisal_For_Beginners|Appraisal For Beginners]].

===Combat Ranges===
All combat is divided into three different ranges: missile, pole, and melee. To demonstrate these three, let's take a look at our first opponent, who has just entered the area:
<pre>
A ship rat just arrived.
</pre>
We now have our target! Harmless though he may seem, he can be deceptively deadly if you go in swinging with a terrible set-up. Now, in order to engage in pole or melee combat, one of the opponents (you or the rat) must {{com|ADVANCE}} <target>.
<pre>
The ship rat begins to advance on you!
The ship rat is still a distance away from you and is closing steadily.
</pre>

In this case, it has begun advancing you. Over time, it will begin to get closer. The range a creature begins at depends on the environment. If outside, the target will begin at Missile range, in which only bows, crossbows, slings, or thrown weapons can be used.
<pre>
The ship rat closes to pole weapon range on you!
</pre>

If combat is inside, such as a building or a cave, targets begin at pole range. At this range, in addition to ranged weapons, long pole range weapons such as halberds or longer spears can also be employed.

Unless the {{com|retreat}} command is used to halt advancing, any melee attack at this point will trigger a charge to melee range.

<pre>
The ship rat closes to melee range on you!
</pre>

The final range is melee range, in which any weapon can be used.

===Range Management and Disengaging===
There are four commands used to affect range. As previously mentioned, {{com|advance}} attempts to close the distance between yourself and a target.

The {{com|retreat}} command will either stop advancing or attempt to move back one combat range. Success depends a great deal on hindrance and encumbrance as well as the agility and reflex stats. Each time an attempt is made to retreat within a short period of time, an additional attack penalty is added. This is to prevent endless attacks on a person who is attempting to close to melee. Eventually the penalties will become so severe that landing a hit is impossible.

{{com|hangback}} is an automated command that will attempt to counter any advance with a retreat, preventing change in distance.

Lastly, {{com|flee}} attempts to completely disengage from combat, and if a direction is specified, leave that direction. Be warned, it is not an instantaneous command, and during the period between activating and actually fleeing, defenses are reduced. Flee is automatic, unless a stun is received during the attempt.

You can use the {{com|assess}} command at any time to see the combat ranges of any creatures present, as well as which one you are facing. '''In order to leave a room it is necessary to have no creatures at melee or pole range.'''
<pre>
You assess your combat situation...

You (solidly balanced) are facing a ship rat (1) at melee range.
A ship rat (1: very badly balanced) is flanking you at melee range.
A ship rat (2: solidly balanced) is facing you at melee range.
A ship rat (3: off balance) is flanking you at melee range.
</pre>

===Attack!===
Once you have your creature, such as a rat, at a range suitable for your weapon you can simply use the {{com|ATTACK}} command to try to attack it. {{com|Attack}} is a simplistic combat command that uses a balance-neutral combat combo based on the weapon being used. Once you are feeling more comfortable in combat, it is recommended you learn more about the different types of combat attacks called [[Combat#Maneuver Chart|maneuvers]].

===Offensive Skills===
*[[Weapon Skillset|Weapon skills]] (examples being small edged, longbow, two-handed blunt, etc.) represent skill at attacking opponents with any chosen weapon category.
*[[Brawling skill|Brawling]] represents skill attacking an opponent with the intent to damage while unarmed. <s>Brawling is a very versatile weapon class, and is even useful to empaths, as brawling can be learned without damaging an opponent via the commands {{tt|CIRCLE}}, {{tt|BOB}}, and {{tt|WEAVE}}.</s> [{{tt|CIRCLE}}, {{tt|BOB}}, and {{tt|WEAVE}} now train Tactics instead.]
*[[Offhand Weapon skill]] represents the ability to accurately hit and do damage with a weapon in the left hand, or via dual wielding. This only applies to melee and thrown weapons.
*{{skill|Tactics}} covers the use of non-damaging unarmed attacks and brawling-like defensive maneuvers. Can be learned with {{tt|CIRCLE}}, {{tt|BOB}}, {{tt|WEAVE}}, and {{tt|ANALYZE}} (critter name).
*[[Targeted Magic skill|Targeted Magic]] represents the ability to better aim direct damage spells.
*[[Debilitation skill]] covers the magic that impedes, but does not directly damage.

===Defensive Skills===
*{{skill|Evasion}} represents your ability to twist out of the way of blows. Usually mandatory for anyone interested in combat, as it is weakens your foe's attack power more per rank than the other two defense.
*{{skill|Shield Usage}} represents your ability to block oncoming attacks with your shield. Highly recommended for everyone, and almost mandatory for those wishing to engage in scenarios like PvP, invasions, etc.
*{{skill|Parry Ability}} represents your ability to block oncoming attacks by deflecting them with your weapon. As per GM [[Ssra]], parry is (supposedly) the most powerful defense at melee, so anyone planning to wade through a sea of foes should consider training this skill.
*Armor skills ({{skill|Light Armor}}, {{skill|Chain Armor}}, {{skill|Brigandine Armor}}, {{skill|Plate Armor}}) represent your ability to maneuver and hide in the respective armor category. Eventually your skill in an armor will also contribute to the protection your armor provides you.
*{{skill|Perception}} represents your ability to spot hidden targets, particularly those trying to attack you from hiding. Mandatory for anyone interested in PvP or fighting foes that like to hide. Recommended for anyone, though, as it is a great defense against theft.
*{{skill|Defending}} represents your ability to handle many foes at once, as well as any defensive measures that are not covered by evasion, parry, or shield.

===Stealth Skills===

*{{skill|Stealth}} represents your ability to perform stealth actions, and to evade detection.
*{{skill|Backstab}} (Thief only) represents ability to attack a target with a light or medium weapon from hiding. The basic backstab can be initiated via the {{tt|BACKSTAB}} command and ignores shield and parry. Ambushes also utilize this skill.

==Combat Messaging==
You'll notice information in brackets below each attack you or an opponent makes. This information is a summary of how the attack affected your character. We'll go over each message in detail.

===Vitality===
Vitality is a verbal representation of your hit points. Each attack that damages you reduces the number of hit points you have by a certain percentage.

===Spirit===
When you are brought back to life (either via departing or [[Resurrection]]) it takes a little while to regain your full spirit health. Spirit health affects the time before you depart. Some [[Cleric]] spells cause the caster to lose ([[Aesrela Everild]]) or gain spirit ([[Vigil]]). There are also plans for Spell vs. Spirit [[Contested Spells|contested spells]].

===Fatigue===
You lose some fatigue with each attack you make. If you are using a weapon that is suited for your character's stats the loss will be regained before you even notice it, but you can lose noticeable amounts of fatigue from either using a weapon too heavy for your character or swinging a light one too often.

Fatigue cost is determined base on weapon weight, maneuver used, and the user's strength and stamina.

|}

There are several levels of balance and position. The base is <solidly balanced> with <no advantage>. You can either gain or lose balance depending on the types of attack you choose; some are balance positive, some are balance negative, and some are balance neutral. Stuns cause balance loss, which in turn reduces your effective defense. A stun will automatically drop your balance to very badly, with more severe stuns dropping your balance further down the scale as the stun continues.

'''Position''' is the relation between your opponent's balance and your own.

The higher the balance and the position, the larger bonus there is to both offense and defense.

==Maneuver Chart==
KEY:
:'''+''': good for this
:'''=''': won't help, won't hurt
:'''-''': bad for this

'''NOTE:''' {{com|attack}} will perform a randomized maneuver that is appropriate to the given situation.

===Weapon===
The below listed combat maneuvers work with any held weapon, but some are better for certain types of damage. Once you know what type of damage your weapon of choice causes, it's a good idea to have an understanding of what attacks best suit your weapon's damage type.

*For puncture type damage, use maneuvers like {{com|jab}}, {{com|thrust}}, and {{com|lunge}}.
*For slice type damage, use maneuvers like {{com|feint}}, {{com|slice}}, and {{com|chop}}.
*For impact type damage, use maneuvers like {{com|jab}}/{{com|feint}}, {{com|swing}}, {{com|slam}}, and {{com|bash}}.

==Damage==
The following is a theoretical process for how attacks calculated.

===To hit===
* Based on skill and a random number, an Offensive Force/Factor (OF) is generated.
* This number is bonused by the user's {{stat|Agility}} as modified by the weapon's balance.
* The number is compared to the effective score of the defender's combined Evasion, Parry, and Shield. From this a chance of hitting is determined. At exactly equal OF and defense, the chance to hit is 66%.
* There is always a chance to both hit or miss, regardless of the numbers.

===Damage===
* If a hit is achieved, then damage is calculated. It begins with the base physical damage from the weapon, modified by the type of attack used.
* Each type of attack will use a different percentage of the weapons piercing, slicing and impact damage.
* Damage is added based on the user's strength, modified by the weapon's suitability.
* The damage is then reduced by the target's armor modified by the skill of the user in that armor.
* Damage is modified by the degree to which the amount that to hit exceeded the minimal number, increasing it up to double the base damage.
* Lastly, the specific body part damage is capped based on the target's remaining vitality left.

====Damage Values====

==Notes==
Weapon balance determines parry suitability.

Protection grows with ranks, absorption doesn't.

==Description==
Crafted by some unknown mage, the clay soldier is a life-sized representation of an actual warrior, cast in some sort of hardened clay. Its face is beautiful and perfect but also completely expressionless and unmoving, and the construct moves in a rather artificial manner not unlike a puppet pulled by strings. Despite its unnatural movements, it seems more than capable of handling itself in a fight.

==In Depth==
It is wearing some {{cloot|a|clay plate armor}}. 
It is holding a {{cloot|w|longsword}}.

===Special Attack===
Soldiers will occasionally throw a clay orb on the ground causing it to shatter and send shard flying.
''A grey clay soldier takes a clay orb from its belt and throws it hard to the ground, shattering it into a thousand pieces that go flying!'' 
''A {{ilink|w|grey clay fragment}} flies directly at you! It lodges firmly in your left eye!'' 
''[You're solidly balanced with opponent in good position.]'' 

When you remove a limb, it will shatter sending shards of clay flying. 
''The arm falls to the ground and shatters into a thousand pieces!'' 
''A grey clay fragment flies directly at you! However, you easily dodge out of the way.'' 
''[You're bruised, solidly balanced with no advantage.]''

Note: touch shard to remove the shard without a long, nasty roundtime. You must tend the fragments. 

Soldiers cannot be manipulated. 

Soldiers are affected by Paralysis, Lethargy and Innocence 

===Special Defenses===

The soldier appears immune to all poisons, puncture and electricity.

__NOTOC__

==Description==
The swamp troll is a tall, ungainly humanoid-shaped conglomeration of branches, leaves, mud, and foulness... or at least that's all that's visible. Rumor has it there is flesh and bone beneath the plant matter, but if so, it's probably even uglier than the crud that covers it.

==In Depth==
It is wearing nothing! 
It is carrying a {{cloot|w|pike staff}}.

The trackless swamp is a special area that will cause you to lose all magical attunement to an ethereal parasite if you stay in one room for too long. (About 10 min.)(If you are affected by this, it takes about 15 to 30 minutes for it to wear off.)
===Special Attacks===
Swamp trolls can cast:
* [[casts spell::Arc Light]]
* [[casts spell::Ethereal Shield]]
* [[casts spell::Sure Footing]]

===3.1===
*Evasion at 159 won't move above dabbling (1/34) with 4 at melee
*Shield and Parry at 163 & 165 barely moves above dabbling with 3-4 at melee
*However, weapons are still moving strong about 165-170, albeit slightly slower than usual.

Boxes dropped "precisely at skill level" with 90 ranks of locksmithing.

The lesser sluagh is a foul-smelling, foul-tempered, foul-looking beast that makes a mother-in-law seem positively angelic. Seven feet tall, musclebound, and wearing some kind of ragged, odiferous hide over its own none too lovely grey skin, it stares with bloodshot eyes and an evil leer. It is a living creature rather than an undead one, though you can't imagine it being any uglier or meaner were it undead. 
Kind of makes you wonder about the [[Greater Sluagh |greater ones]], doesn't it?
==In Depth==
Only spawns at night. Will use both sling weaponry and melee weapons.
===Equipment/Loot===
It is wearing nothing! 
It is carrying some {{cloot|w|smooth rock}}s, a {{cloot|w|sling (1)|sling}}
