Due to the recent work to recode combat, many if not all of the commands below are not currently working.
Dice Commands
DAOC Command System Dicebag
Written by Covenent@M*U*S*H, (very) loosely based on Monster@Forgetown's Dicebag v2.3.
Syntax:
+roll[/<roll sequence>] [<target>][=<explanation1>[, ... , <explanationN>]]
+roll/alias/<roll sequence> [<alias>][=<explanation1>[, ... , <explanationN>]]
+roll/unalias <alias>
+roll/listalias [<pattern>]
The +roll command provides you with a powerful, flexible, general-purpose dicebag. With no arguments, +roll rolls a standard 20-sided die (D20) and displays the results to everyone in the room. Given an <explanation>, it will show the explanation alongside the roll, so everyone knows why you did it. With a <roll sequence>, +roll can do a variety of things. Roll sequences are composed by joining the symbols below together with / (see the examples). In many cases you can avoid the / and it will still work, but it is guaranteed to work with the /. Every symbol that produces a roll (so not plain <number>, parentheses, etc.) can be associated with an explanation in the <explanation> list, separated by commas. The symbols are:
fail - Simulates automatic failure with a 20-sided die
- Example: +roll/fail=Failing for dramatic reasons.
succ - Simulates automatic success with a 20-sided die.
- Example: +roll/succ=Succeeding for dramatic reasons.
d<number> - Rolls a <number>-sided die and reports the result.
- Example: +roll/d10=Rolling a 10-sided die
- Example: +roll/d20/d10=Rolling a 20-sided die, then a 10-sided die.
<stat> - Rolls against your <stat> and reports whether you succeeded or failed.
If a <target> was given to the +roll, it rolls your <stat> against the target's <stat>, <stat> is one of the abbreviations listed in +explain stats.
- Example: +roll/int=Rolling against my intelligence.
- Example: +roll/str Discordia=Rolling my strength against Discordia's.
<number> - A <number> without a letter in front of it means that the next symbol or subsequence is going to be repeated <number> times.
- Example: +roll/2/d20=Rolling 2 d20s.
- Example: +roll/5/pres/d10 Discordia=Rolling my presence against Discordia's 5 times, then rolling a d10.
( and ) - start and end a roll subsequence. Used for grouping, e.g. for multiple rolls. You can have parentheses inside each other for extra-complex expressions.
- Example: +roll/2/(/d20/str/)=Rolling a d20,Rolling my strength.
(It will be repeated twice).
The final type of symbol is an <alias>. To use an <alias>, it must have been previously defined by you using +roll/alias using the syntax above. When you write an alias as a symbol, it automatically gets replaced with whatever you defined the alias to be earlier. Also, unless you give it a nonblank <explanation>, any <explanation>s you associated with it will appear in the correct places. Here is a simple example:
First you type:
> +roll/alias/d20 dodge=Dodging
You see: +roll: Alias 'dodge' set.
Then if you type:
> +roll/dodge
You see: <Your character> picks up the dicebag and rolls against its agility <Dodging>. <Your character>'s roll <succeeds/fails>!
To list all available aliases (or list only those matching a particular wildcard <pattern>), type +roll/listalias [<pattern>]. For example, if you just had the dodge alias defined, you might type:
> +roll/listalias
And see: DODGE:
+roll/agi <target>=Dodging
To unset a previously set alias, use +roll/unalias <alias>. For example, if you decided you didn't want the old dodge alias anymore, you might type:
> +roll/unalias dodge
And see:
+roll: Alias 'dodge' removed.

@mail <msg #> shows you specific message indicated by #
@mail/read <msg-list> displays messages which match the msg # or msg-list from your current folder
@mail <msg-list, but not a single msg #> @mail/list <msg-list> @mail/folder This commands lists all folders which contain mail, telling how many messages are in each, and what the current folder is
@mail/folder <folder#|foldername> This command sets your current folder to <folder#>
@mail/folder <folder#> = <foldername> This command gives <folder#> a name
@mail/unfolder <folder#|foldername> This command removes a folder's name
@mail/file <msg-list>=<folder#> This command moves all messages in msg-list from the current folder to a new folder, <folder#>
@mail/fwd <msg-list> = <player-list> @mail/clear [<msg-list> | all] @mail/unclear [<msg-list> | all] These commands mark mail in the current folder as cleared or uncleared. Mail marked for clearing is deleted when you disconnect, or if you use @mail/purge. If no msg-list is specified, all mail in your current folder is cleared. If "all" is given instead of a msg-list, all mail in *all* folders is cleared/uncleared
@mail/purge Actually deletes all messages marked for clearing with @mail/clear. This is done automatically when you log out
@mail/tag [<msg-list> | all>] @mail/untag [<msg-list> | all>] These commands tag or untag mail in the current folder. Tagged mail can be later acted on en masse by using "tagged" as the msg-list for other commands (which does *not* untag them afterward). If no msg-list is specified, all messages in the current folder are tagged/untagged. If "all" is given as the msg-list, all mail in *all* folders is tagged/untagged. (Ex: To clear all mail from Paul and Chani, @mail/tag *paul, @mail/tag *chani, @mail/clear tagged, @mail/untag all).
