Description
This is a very useful informational command that tells you about the room or area that you are currently in. You can also look at other characters, look at objects, look inside objects, and look in a specific direction to see what's in the adjoining area. You can also reference NPCs and items using quotes around the full short description instead of just name keywords. For example, if the item is called "a wizard's cloak", you can reference it by typing: look "a wizard's cloak". For an NPC named "a dashing acrobat", you could reference him by typing: look "a dashing acrobat". If you see an asterisk (*) or a single letter in brackets [S] before a PC or NPC's brief description when using LOOK in a room, it means they have a special affect on them:
-
A dark red asterisk or [L] indicates they are surrounded by a lava
cloak, and are resilient, taking reduced damage. -
A magenta asterisk or [R] indicates they are surrounded by a repulsion
field, and will be difficult to kill with thrown or ranged damage. -
A cyan asterisk or [P] indicates they will paralyze in combat.
-
A cyan asterisk or [T] indicates they are translucent, affected by a
'pass door' spell. -
A green asterisk or [I] indicates they are invisible to others who
cannot detect invisibility (which you obviously can, or you would not see them). -
A white asterisk or [S] indicates they are surrounded by a glowing
white aura, a side effect of the 'sanctuary' spell. -
A red asterisk or [F] indicates they are surrounded by a shield of
flames, caused by the 'fireshield' spell. -
A blue asterisk or [L] indicates they are surrounded by an electrical
shield, most likely from the 'lightning shroud' spell. When there are multiple items or NPCs of the same name in the same location, whether in your inventory or in your room, you may reference them individually by putting the number of the item or NPC and a period before the name. (Look <#>.name) For example: look 5.balrog
