Kneel command

Kneel
Moves your character into a kneeling position. The command can also direct the gesture toward a person or creature, and some locations and objects provide special kneeling behavior.
KNEEL (from standing) You see: You kneel down upon the ground. Others see: <Name> kneels down. KNEEL (from sitting) You see: You kneel. Others see: <Name> kneels. KNEEL (from prone) You see: You rise to a kneeling position. Others see: <Name> rises to a kneeling position. KNEEL (already kneeling) You see: Subservient type, eh? (You are already kneeling.) Others see: Nothing. KNEEL <person> (from standing) You see: You kneel down upon the ground before <Person>. Target sees: <Name> kneels down before you. Others see: <Name> kneels down before <Person>. KNEEL <person> (from sitting) You see: You kneel before <Person>. Target sees: <Name> kneels before you. Others see: <Name> kneels before <Person>. KNEEL <person> (from prone) You see: You rise to a kneeling position before <Person>. Target sees: <Name> rises to a kneeling position before you. Others see: <Name> rises to a kneeling position before <Person>. KNEEL <creature> (from standing) You see: You kneel down upon the ground before <creature>. Others see: <Name> kneels down before <creature>. KNEEL <creature> (from sitting) You see: You kneel before <creature>. Others see: <Name> kneels before <creature>. KNEEL <creature> (from prone) You see: You rise to a kneeling position before <creature>. Others see: <Name> rises to a kneeling position before <creature>.

Syntax

• KNEEL

Move from standing, sitting or prone into a kneeling position.

• KNEEL <PERSON>

Kneel before another character. Targeting yourself produces the same messaging as the untargeted form.

• KNEEL <CREATURE>

Kneel before a creature.

• KNEEL <OBJECT>

Interact with an object that supports KNEEL. Chairs, benches, couches and similar objects may allow a character to kneel on them; other objects may provide their own messaging or behave like the untargeted form.

Usage

The resulting message depends on whether the character begins standing, sitting or prone. A character who is already kneeling remains in that position and receives the already-kneeling message.

Some areas must be navigated in a kneeling position by tall characters. A location can also prevent the action when there is not enough room or replace the standard messages with location-specific behavior.

Other characters receive no standard posture message when the actor is hidden, invisible or otherwise imperceptible. In those cases, a targeted person also receives no standard direct message.
