The APPRAISE command allows you to get information about various things/people you come across. The accuracy of the information received depend directly upon your Appraisal skill as well as the skill necessary to use the item (in the case of weapons and armor).
Etiquette
It is important to keep in mind that some characters consider unasked-for appraisal of themselves to be uncouth and improper, and they might decide to confront you about such an activity.
Syntax
- APPRAISE <item>
- APPRAISE <PC/creature>
- APPRAISE <direction to SWIM in>
- APPRAISE <CLIMBing object>
- APPRAISE <person> <item> - To appraise an item that was just SHOWn.
