long ago we got this nice skill 'plant lore'. i, personally, miss similar
skills!
please, add the following:
monster bipod lore: without this skill, all monsters (excluding animals) would
look something like 'a variably sized mass on two legs'
animal lore: similar to the earlier, all animals would look like 'furry bush'
if a player has neither, everything would look like 'blob'!
a civilized background needs (no one else should have access!):
numerical lore: this skills allows person to see numbers, otherwise output
from commands like 'score' and 'show spells' would say something like
'little', 'A LOT!' etc.
alphabet lore: this is the mother of all skills! without this skill, all
output from mud is randomized!
i mean, wtf! these like so much need to be done for player enjoyment!!! WE
NEEDS MORE (I'M COLOR CHALLENGED, I DONT KNOW WHAT BROWN IS) OVOIDS AND
REPEAT-CONES!
