5.4.16 Profession Skill - Hunting (Outrider)
Hunting is a skill composed of four types of abilities:
Setting traps
Summoning animal guardians
Weapon abilities
Survival abilities
TRAPS
-----
- Each trap is constructed of commodities. When laying a trap, you must have
the required commodities (listed in the AB HELP files) in your inventory.
- Traps get laid in directions. The general syntax is LAY <trap> <direction>.
- Traps are set off _only_ by those on your enemies list. They will be set
off when someone either enters or leaves the room by the direction you
specified.
- Some traps will stop movement when sprung. For instance, if you are leaving
a room with a snare trap in it set to the direction you are leaving, you
will set off the snare before you leave the room, and it will prevent you
from moving.
ANIMAL GUARDIANS
----------------
- The animals you summon may be ordered about with the commands in
HELP MOBILES.
- If you leave Imperian and do not come back quickly, they will disappear back
into the forest.
- You may call your summoned animals to you with CALL ANIMALS.
- You can dismiss you animals with DISMISS <animal>.
WEAPON ABILITIES
----------------
- When you gain the skill of hunting, you are given the axe proficiency.
SURVIVAL ABILITIES
------------------
- These abilities assist you in surviving out on your own.
Hunting is used by the Outrider (HELP OUTRIDER) profession.
