SKILLS
 
Tsunami is a skills-based mud, and the level of a player's skills
always determines how well the player can perform certain actions.
 
The skills possessed by the player vary depending on the class or
subclasses.  Most skills are related to offensive and defensive
abilities, either physically or magically.  For example, there exist
weapon skills like axe, sword, etc. which describe the specialization
in a particular weapon; naturally, fighters have many more such weapon
skills than other classes.

A skill is "passive" when its mere presence bestows benefits to the
player, such as the proficiency in a certain weapon.  However, many
skills are "active" skills, which must be explicitly invoked using the
syntax "do <skillname> <options>."  Some general information on this
syntax is available by typing "help do".  Furthermore, each skill has
a detailed description of its usage and options.
 
A few examples of some common skills: combat, resistance, awareness,
toughness.
 
For help on a particular skill, just type "help skill <skillname>".
 
To get a list of the skills you currently have, type "skills".
