Combat
| Command | Explanation | Example |
| kill [monster] | attack something | kill orc |
| consider [monster] | consider monster's strength | consider thuggish seafarer |
| wield [object] | use an object as a weapon | wield broadsword |
| wield hands | stop using a weapon | wield hands |
| monitor | toggles your in-combat hit
point monitor on and off | monitor |
BEWARE: if your hitpoints get too low, run away ;) If you die you become a
ghost - you will then have to go to the high priest in the temple to get
resurrected. You have only 7 lives to begin with, so take care !
You can use the special 'wimpy' feature to set when you will run away
from trouble. For example 'set wimpy 25' will make you run away when you are
down to 25% of your total hit points. Note that the higher your wimpy the less
experience points you will gain in combat.
See the combat help page for
further help on the New Moon combat system.
