I was hopeing to aquire a new command baised off of examine. Show.

This would alow people to 'show' another character an item without having it exhcange hands.

Well, you can always just RP showing them the item and codewise give them to it. Then, if they run off with it or something, im sure it could be seen as code abuse since icly they werent actually holding it, but codewise thats the only way to let them really see it?

Well when you take something out of your pack... they see what you took out... also you could see it when you hold it in your hand...

What Im talking about mostly is this:

ou get a bone handled shining steel rapier from a rothe hide thigh sheath.

show rapier Garl

You see nothing special.
It belongs to the thrusting blades category of weapons
It is in perfect condition.
It can be picked up, held, held in both hands, worn on the belt.
It cannot be worn with any other armour.
It is medium in size.
It is made of steel and weighs about 1 pound.

Now, he knows it is a thrusting weapon, and size. Some weapons are other then what you would think. Single-edged blades like sabres are sometimes thrusting blades. Etc.. etc. So this would alow people to know what weapons types and such are, without having to hand them to other people to be examined.

If it can be done through roleplay, does that mean we don't have to code it at all? We do not need any commands in the game besides smote!
I think this is very doable, and events where you want to show something happens frequently.
Coders might spend a few minutes to implement this if they have the spare time.
