Interaction With Demeanor
Sometimes, DEMEANOR and avoid flags can affect the same systems. In general, if you have an avoid turned on, you're going to avoid that interaction regardless of your demeanor setting. On the other hand, if you have an avoid turned off, your demeanor may prevent an interaction even though you aren't specifically trying to avoid it.
Special Notes
- AVOID !TEACH will hide your relative skill level while teaching a class to potential students who use the ASSESS TEACH command.
- AVOID !TEACH will make it impossible to learn VT (ventriloquism) from another player character.
