This section just contains some of the tooltips of the Crossfire+ client. |

|
| 5 |
=head2 X<stat_health> |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
B<Health points>. Measures of how much damage you can take before |
| 8 |
dying. Hit points are determined from your level and are influenced by the |
| 9 |
value of your Con. Hp value may range between 1 to beyond 500 and higher |
| 10 |
values indicate a greater ability to withstand punishment. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
=head2 X<stat_mana> |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
B<Spell points>. Measures of how much "fuel" you have for casting spells |
| 15 |
and incantations. Mana is calculated from your level and your Pow. Mana |
| 16 |
values can range between 1 to beyond 500 (glowing crystals can increase |
| 17 |
the current spell points beyond your normal maximum). Higher values |
| 18 |
indicate greater amounts of mana. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
=head2 X<stat_grace> |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
B<Grace points> - how favored you are by your god. In game terms, how |
| 23 |
much divine magic you can cast. Your level, Wis and Pow effect what the |
| 24 |
value of grace is. Prayong on an altar of your god can increase this value |
| 25 |
beyond your normal maximum. Grace can take on large positive and negative |
| 26 |
values. Positive values indicate favor by the gods. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
=head2 X<stat_food> |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
B<Food>. Ranges between 0 (starving) and 999 (satiated). At a value of |
| 31 |
0 the character begins to die. Some magic can speed up or slow down the |
| 32 |
character digestion. Healing wounds will speed up digestion too. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
=head2 X<stat_exp> |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
B<Experience points and overall level> - experience is increased as a |
| 37 |
reward for appropriate action (such as killing monsters) and may decrease |
| 38 |
as a result of a magical attack or dying. Level is directly derived |
| 39 |
from the experience value. As the level of the character increases, the |
| 40 |
character becomes able to succeed at more difficult tasks. A character's |
| 41 |
level starts at a value of 0 and may range up beyond 100. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
=head2 X<stat_ranged> |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
B<Ranged attack> - how you attack when you press shift-cursor (spell, |

how many grace points you can have. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
=head2 X<stat_Pow> |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
B<Power>, your magical potential. Influences the strength of spell |
| 76 |
effects, and also how much your spell and grace points increase when |

=head2 X<stat_Cha> |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |

=head2 X<stat_Wc> |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
B<Weapon Class>, effectiveness of melee/missile attacks. Lower is more |
| 87 |
potent. Current weapon, level and Str are some things which effect the |
| 88 |
value of Wc. The value of Wc may range between 25 and -72. |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
=head2 X<stat_Ac> |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
B<Armour Class>, how protected you are from being hit by any attack. Lower |
| 93 |
values are better. Ac is based on your race and is modified by the Dex and |
| 94 |
current armour worn. For characters that cannot wear armour, Ac improves |
| 95 |
as their level increases. |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
=head2 X<stat_Dam> |
| 98 |

|
| 105 |
B<Armour>, how much damage (from physical attacks) will be subtracted from |
| 106 |
successful hits made upon you. This value ranges between 0 to 99%. Current |
| 107 |
armour worn primarily determines Arm value. This is the same as the |
| 108 |
physical resistance. |
| 109 |
|
| 110 |
=head2 X<stat_Spd> |
| 111 |
|
| 112 |
B<Speed>, how fast you can move. The value of speed may range between |
| 113 |
nearly 0 ("very slow") to higher than 5 ("lightning fast"). Base speed |
| 114 |
is determined from the Dex and modified downward proportionally by the |
| 115 |
amount of weight carried which exceeds the Max Carry limit. The armour |
| 116 |
worn also sets the upper limit on speed. |
| 117 |
|
| 118 |
=head2 X<stat_WSp> |
| 119 |
|
| 120 |
B<Weapon Speed>, how many attacks you may make per unit of time |
| 121 |
(0.120s). Higher values indicate faster attack speed. Current weapon and |
| 122 |
Dex effect the value of weapon speed. |
| 123 |

=head2 X<npc_message_entry> |
| 125 |
|
| 126 |
Enter a message here that you want to tell the NPC and press B<return>. |

Sometimes you have to tell an NPC something you cannot find out during a |
| 129 |
normal conversation (such as a password). In those cases you have to use |
| 130 |
this text entry. You can also enter responses manually instead of using |
| 131 |
the response buttons below. |
| 132 |
|
| 133 |
=head2 X<completer_help>The Command Completer |
| 134 |

This is your central interface to send text commands to the server. To |
| 136 |
enter a verbatim command to send to the server, just type the command, |
| 137 |
followed by a space, and press return. |
| 138 |
|
| 139 |
Typing the initial letters of words (or just any letters) displays guesses |
| 140 |
for commands you might want to use. |
| 141 |
|
| 142 |
You can use the cursor-up and cursor-down keys to select between those |
| 143 |
guesses. |
| 144 |
|
| 145 |
B<Right-Click> opens a menu where you can select further options, sich |
| 146 |
as redefining key bindings. |

=head2 X<chargen_stats>Character Creation: Stats |
| 158 |
|
| 159 |
B<Stats> are a very important aspect of your character. You can use the |
| 160 |
tooltips to learn what each Stat governs. |
| 161 |
|
| 162 |
The stats generated by the server are always sorted from Str (highest) to |
| 163 |
Cha (lowest). They will be modified later by both the race and the class |
| 164 |
you choose. |
| 165 |
|
| 166 |
You can create another set of stats, swap two stat values with each other |
| 167 |
or accept the stats as shown below and continue. |
| 168 |
|
| 169 |
=head2 X<chargen_race>Character Creation: Race |
| 170 |
|
| 171 |
Look at the B<Messages> window to see a description of this race and |
| 172 |
the center of the screen to see how this race looks like (I<below |
| 173 |
this dialog window: you may need to move the dialog away and click into |
| 174 |
the display area to make it visible>). |
| 175 |
|
| 176 |
You can look at another race, or accept this race (you will cycle back |
| 177 |
to this race eventually, so you can take your time making this important |
| 178 |
choice. |
