2.5 Looking and Gaining Information
ROOM
-----
In order to see a description of the room you are in along with what is in the
room, whether player, mobile, or item, simply type LOOK or just L.
If you want to see what is in an adjacent room, type GLANCE <direction that the room is in>.
ITEMS or MOBILES
----------------
If you see an item or mobile in a room that you wish to look at, you may EXAMINE and PROBE it. (see also HELP OBJECTS)
CHARACTERS
----------
You can look at the items that someone else has worn or wielded through the following syntax:
LOOK <person> [full]
This shows the person's description without their clothing, if you add FULL to it, it will display their clothing as well.
LOOK <person> <item> or LOOK AT <person> <item>
For example: LOOK DANAGLAS ROBES
If someone has more than one of the same thing (like 10 rings):
LOOK <person> <item> <number> or LOOK AT <person> <item> <number>
For example: LOOK DANAGLAS RING 2, LOOK AT DANAGLAS RING 3
This should only work for things that you can see when you look at the person (i.e. you won't be able to see their underwear unless they are walking around with it plainly visible, nor will you be able to see things in inventories).
