92 | =head3 I lose health but can't see why! |
|
|
93 | |
|
|
94 | Here are the typical reasons why you lose health: |
|
|
95 | |
|
|
96 | =over 4 |
|
|
97 | |
|
|
98 | =item * You are being attacked. |
|
|
99 | |
|
|
100 | Sounds obvious, but sometiems you can't see the monster attacking |
|
|
101 | you. Check the C<Log> tab, as you usually get a message when this happens. |
|
|
102 | |
|
|
103 | =item * You are out of food. |
|
|
104 | |
|
|
105 | When your food reaches C<0> you will start to lose health. Eating (good) |
|
|
106 | food will replenish your food level. |
|
|
107 | |
|
|
108 | =item * You are poisoned. |
|
|
109 | |
|
|
110 | Poison will reduce your health. When your body heals fast enough it will |
|
|
111 | eventually get over the poison, otherwise you should seek professional |
|
|
112 | help such as the House of Healing in Scorn, or a player with the C<cure |
|
|
113 | poison> spell. It is rumored that neko san might sometimes cure poison. |
|
|
114 | |
|
|
115 | =item * You have a disease. |
|
|
116 | |
|
|
117 | Some diseases have such drastic effects on your organism that you can lose |
|
|
118 | health. Get help in the House of Healing in Scorn, or ask a player who can |
|
|
119 | cast C<cure disease> on your. |
|
|
120 | |
|
|
121 | =item * Your stats change. |
|
|
122 | |
|
|
123 | Switching items can affect your stats, which in turn can affect your |
|
|
124 | healthpoints. While this is not a regular effect (it only happens when you |
|
|
125 | change items), it can sometimes look as if you are losing health. |

|
|
133 | |
|
|
134 | First, you have to L<apply> the bow, then it will show up in the lower |
|
|
135 | right corner in the C<Range:> slot. If it is already shown as C<(applied)> |
|
|
136 | but not in the C<Range:> slot you have to unapply and reaply it. |
|
|
137 | |
|
|
138 | When you have a bow (or similar weapons like guns or crossbows) applied, |
|
|
139 | you just shoot as with spells or other range attacks - C<Shift>+direction |
|
|
140 | key. |
|
|
141 | |
|
|
142 | You need to have arrows (shells, bolts etc.) in your inventory or an |
|
|
143 | active container for this to work. |
|
|
144 | |
|
|
145 | You can influence how you shoot via the L<Bow Mode|bowmode> in the C<< |
