An area-supported guild change as I invision it would use an MP command to set certain fighter-exclusive skills to a value of 0, then change the PC's guild to rangers. I had a look through the MP commands just now and didn't see a command that could do that, so either I missed it, or it doesn't yet ...

Would this option be open only to new, unguilded warriors, or could there some area-supported way to strip fighters of their fighter-unique skills and fighter class and transfer them into the evil rangers guild?

The illustration associated with the feat showed a lightning bolt spell causing bleeding wounds, but other than that there wasn't really any specification of what spells would work with this feat. From the description of the feat, it sounds like any spell that does damage would be eligible for the b...

In another MUD, after you kill a MOB you can search it and then use a command to 'skin' it. The skin action takes an appropriate trophy from the dead mob. I like this idea because currently, if Joe Sunite is fending off a bandit and defeats him, code might force him to automatically cut off the ban...
