affects <'skill name' or 'search string'>
affect clear <skill name>
Description
The AFFECT command will display a list of spells or conditions with which you are currently affected, as well as applicable durations.
A negative duration indicates that the particular spell or condition will last indefinitely.
From the affects list, you can also see your ability to resist certain types of magic and magical effects, such as paralysis and resistance to magical items if "affects all" is specified. You will also see other special modifiers such as regeneration modifiers, accuracy modifiers, etc.
Specifying a skill name will limit the results to skill affects matching that skill. Include multiple word skill names in quotes.
Specifying a search string will limit the results to skill affects matching that search, or special active affects matching the search. Include multiple word search strings in quotes.
Search strings can include the following wildcards:
- Matches everything (e.g., fred, or fred or fred)
- ? Matches a single character (e.g., fr?d)
In order to remove a beneficial affect from yourself, you can 'affect clear <skill name>'. This may be desirable if the affect has an undesirable upkeep cost, or lasts longer than necessary, or any other reason.
In order to see which affects you and your formation have applied to an opponent, you can 'check victimaffects'.
