Changes!

Yes, I have seal speed and skittles!

Some info xxx'd out to protect the clan's privacy.

**Infernal no longer gets pseudo-shadow, it is now xxxxxxxx
**Aura of god now functions in a similar fashion to xxxxxxxx
**Aura of god and xxxx may not be cast over each other (with the exception of clan spells).
**Additional xxxxx affects corrected for:Infernal, Den, Ninth - These unintentionally stripped some affects when adding further ones.
**Clan warnings: The logic producing spurious warnings when someone tried to teleport in to a hall have been recoded and are now correct. They never actually did make it into the hall.
**Saving throws added for Silence, Paralyze, Petrify. These will now also not work on anyone/thing immune to magic.
**Minor cosmetic tweaks to the affects display.

**Wizslap message added for Dulthail ("Dulthail wizslaps you. Yes, we know your grandmother hit harder, but try make him feel it was effective.")

Changes!

Senor Seal has been uber busy, please take the time to give him an extra fish and a toss him a ball when you see him!

Bugfixes and alterations:

**Exodus vision removed (well secluded, he sees all)
**Wizslap customisations for Meathe and Ackmon.
**Ahriman's clan spell text added
**noteleport room flag now stops portal devices from entering that room
**Thoth has been replaced with Morakai
**Clan alignments are now correct. Evil clans are tagged as very ebil, neutral clans are neutral, good clans are good.

New command: clanmembers

This command will, by default list all the members in your clan, sorted alphabetically, indicating the leaders in red. If you are not in a clan and are under level 102, you don't get the command.

Immortals also have the option of obtaining any clan's membership list by typing: clanmembers

Immortals over level 107 have the additional option of using clanmembers rebuild

This will go through every pfile and reconstruct the lists of clan members. It will take a few seconds and lag the mud, and chew about 10% of server resources. It only needs to be done if the clan member count or the members of a clan in the clan lists are incomplete. Please use sparingly - you really shouldn't have to use it at all.

CLAN LIST and Clan pk rankings

This command has been fixed. It will display the correct leaders (only once
each) and the correct member counts.

Pk rankings now include statistics for loners as well as NPK clans. Between war, hall raids and switch pk, NPKs may now indulge in the occasional combat. These will be reset to 0 for the first reboot, as there is no way of fairly putting in numbers. They are saved, and will be loaded on all future reboots These statistics will be kept up to date by the code.

DECLAN now updates the clan-members correctly, as does DELETE, ANNIHILATE,
RENAME, MEMBER ACCEPT. Rename will now retain clan leader status, as it was
lost before.

QUEST WEAPONS

These are implemented for building.
The quest weapon flags are in WTYPE, and they are:

Charm - Chance of charming target, will stop combat
Curse - Chance of curse
Dehydration - Makes target thirsty, -2 dex (shows as curse on affs)
Gravity - Adds fly to wielder
Hunger - Makes target hungry, -2 dex (shows as curse on affs)
* Paralyze - Chance of immobilizing opponent
* Petrify - Chance of turning opponent to stone
Shadow - Adds shadow to wielder
* Silence - Slight chance of silence spell
Sleep - Chance to make opponent sleep
Drain - Leeches mana in the same way a vampiric leeches hits
Phase - Chance of phasing out of an attack
* Etch - Acidic damage
Disrupt - Chance of driving down intelligence
Weak - Chance of weakening opponent
Banish - Chance of teleporting opponent
Cutpurse - Chance of stealing between 1-5% of the opponent's platinum
Dispel - Chance of cancelling spells, chance based on item level
Vulnerable - Chance of adding 50 to saves of opponent

Items marked with a * require further spells or coding to be added and cannot be tested in play.

The ones that show as curse (hunger, dehydration, etc) do not exclude other curses. So you may be affected by multiple curse types simultaneously, a dehydration/-2dex curse, a hunger/-2dex curse, etc. You will never be able to be affected by multiple dehydration curses concomitantly.

Dominion Purge

The Dominion clan has been emptied, currently only Fury and Choco remain in Dominion. The clan has no leader and therefore, no one to set the stones and get the clanspell activated.

Those of you who in the past have expressed interest in Dominion and its RP theme, this is a great time to join up. The clan is in need of a qualified leader who can RP and manage the clan blog.

Please note Immortals on the mud if you are interested in the life of a true Mercenary as a Dominion Sentinel.

Thank you, drive thru.
