Greetings once again!

This post describes the racial skills. There will soon be a help file as
well (HELP RACIAL SKILLS), which will contain the information from this
post.

Each race has a selection of racial skills available to them - currently
three per race. HELP <race> lists the available skills together with a
brief description. The obsolete sections of the race help files will be
removed soon.

The following racial skills are available:

Alertness - Be notified whenever someone moves into any nearby room.
Usage: ALERTNESS ON/OFF. This skill has a lower mana drain than the
equivalent Perception one.

Basking - Allows you to regain endurance by basking in the sun. Usage:
BASK.

Blood clotting - Increases your natural clotting to stop bleeding
faster. This is a passive ability.

Carrion eater - Allows you to eat anything, not only food.

Dash - Allows you to sprint quickly in a chosen direction. Usage: DASH
<direction>.

Digging - You are able to DIG and BURY items without a shovel. You can
also dig faster than other races.

Eavesdrop - Allows you to eavesdrop on conversations in nearby rooms,
even through closed doors. Usage: EAVESDROP <direction>.

Reserves bonus - Provides a bonus to your reserves of health, mana,
endurance and willpower.

Fear gaze - Gaze at another player to afflict them with fear. Usage:
GAZE <target>.

Natural swimmer - You can swim without the fear of drowning, and faster
than the other races. This is a faster version of Fluidswim from
Survival.

Fury - Become furious to increase your strength by 1 point for 15
seconds. After fury wears off, you will be slightly weaker for a short
time. Usage: FURY.

Harvesting bonus - Allows you to harvest 10% more plants.

Intravision - Infravision lets you see in the dark.

one extra move per second.

only by others of the same race. Usage: RATTLE <message>.

<direction>, BURROW ABOVE.

Scavenging - Scavenge for food in cities and on the roads. Syntax:

similar Bonding ability.

chance of failure.

level of regeneration.
