Combat System

This field determings how players area able to use their number of attacks (SPEED) during combat. For this disussion we will use the following terms:

• Standard Attack - a melee or ranged weapon attack
• Movement - a change in combat range or a FLEE
• Bonus Action - a free action that can ONLY be used for using abilities.
• Additional Action - This will default to an ability action, if queued, or an additional standard attack or movement.

DEFAULT 

All standard actions must be used for standard attacks OR movement. At SPEED 0, one bonus action is granted per combat round for general use. Each fraction of speed grants a percentage chance of an additional bonus action, standard attack or movement. For example, at SPEED 1.25, if a player can do a standard action + 1 bonus action + 1 additional action and have a 25% chance at a second additional action.

QUEUE 

All standard actions are dequeued from player commands entry. Any remaining unused actions are used for standard attacks or movement.

MANUAL 

All standard actions are dequeued from player commands entry. Any remaining unused actions are lost.

TURNBASED 

Players must spend all of their actions within a given amount of time.

Player Death

This ini configuration enables one of several death mechanics when a player dies. Multiple entries may be included and are separated by commas. The configurations are:

EXPERIENCE 

The player loses 100 experience per level when they die. This is the default setting.

PURGE 

The player is erased from the system. This is also known as Hardcore mode by players, or Permadeath.

UNLEVEL X 

The player loses X levels of experience. X must be a whole number.

ASTRAL 

The player becomes a ghost transported to the designated DEATH room specified in the Default Rooms section of the ini or control panel. They must travel to their body in the specified MORGUE room and then receive a resurrection from another player or mob before they may resume their adventures. The player will receive the Prop_AstralSpirit affect while a ghost, and archons may modify the player and remove this property to return them to life.

ASTRAL_RES 

As ASTRAL above, but player can type ENTER BODY when they reach their body to self-resurrect (or get a resurrection to mitigate some lost XP).

OUT X 

The player goes safely unconscious for X ticks. X must be a whole number.

RECALL 

The player simply recalls to their death room (no body is created, they just return home).

(X) 

The player loses a flat X experience points when they die. X must be a whole number. Parenthesis are optional.

(math expression) 

The player loses experience calculated based on the given math expression (replace the words "math expression" with an actual math expression, and parenthesis are optional/used to determine order of precedence). The valid operands are + - * / ( ) @x1 and @x2. @x1 is the player's level. @x2 is the killer's level.
