__________________________________________________________________________ |Jihad: the technical bits | |__________________________________________________________________________| | There are in reality 7 factions in the Jihad, but not all races, | | classes and subclasses are welcome. Please see below for a comprehensive| | list. | |__________________________________________________________________________| |Classes and subclasses: | |__________________________________________________________________________| |Faction Forbidden Classes Forbidden Subclasses | | | |Atheist: Fey None | | | |Everen: Undead, Fey, Monster, Thief, Ninja, Bandit, Thug | | Horror, Dragon Swashbuckler, Chaosmage, Necromancer | | | |Many Faces: Undead, fey Necromancer, Dracolich, Demon | | | |Great Old Ones: Fey Faeriedragon, Demon, Paladin | | | |Blood Lords: Fey Faeriedragon | | | |Karaveth: Fey Chaosmage, Faeriedragon | | | |Mother: Monster, Horror, Undead Chian-lung, Shen-lung, Dracolich, | | Firedrake, Remorhaz, Wyvern, | | Necromancer, Chaosmage, Juggernaught | |__________________________________________________________________________| |Races: | |__________________________________________________________________________| | Faction Forbidden Races | | | |Atheist: Fey | | | |Everen: Fey, Danpiru, Monsters, Horror, Dragon | | | |Many Faces: Fey, Undead | | | |Great Old Ones: Fey | | | |Blood Lords: Elf, Fey | | | |Karaveth: Elf, Fey | | | |Mother All but Fey, Elf, and Faeriedragon | |__________________________________________________________________________| |**************************************************************************| |*NOTE. ALL FEY ARE, BY DEFAULT, MOTHER OF ALL. ALL FACTION-BASED CLERICS| |ARE SELECTED UPON JOINING A FACTION. | |**************************************************************************| | | |ATTITUDES: | | | |The different factions get along with each other to varying degrees. Some | |are quite amiable, some have instant and violent hatreds. The degree of | |attitude can affect the effectiveness of certain skills. For example, | |a bless from Everen might receive a 25% bonus when used on a follower of | |Everen, but a -50% penalty when used on a follower of Karaveth. Further- | |more, attitude determines the effectiveness of player parties and the | |experience they gain; see 'help parties' for more information. | | | | Everen Karaveth Faces Old Ones Mother Blood Atheists | | _____________________________________________________________ | |Everen | L H T A T H T || |Karaveth | H A H A A A T || |Many Faces | T A L A T H T || |Old Ones | C C C C C C C || |The Mother | A A A H L H A || |Blood Lords| H H H H H T H || |Atheists | T T T T T T L || | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | | |L = Loves | |T = Tolerates | |C = Could Care Less | |A = Animosity | |H = Hates | |e.g.: Atheists tolerate everything, but love only other atheists. | | | | | |HOLYWAR: | |The command 'holywar' is used to keep track of the jihad and its various | |scores. Type 'holywar' for further instructions. | | | |JIHAD WAR TYPE: | |A team war has a chance to become a Jihad-based War if the war daemon | |determines that there is enough diversity to ensure a reasonably balanced | |war between enough teams. This can mean, however, that one team has 3 | |heros and 6 teams have one hero; good truces and gangs are the | |responsibility of the players, not the war daemon! | | | |JIHAD COMMUNICATION: | |The channel daemon holds channels for the 6 factions. Atheists get no | |channel--sorry, unbelievers! | | | |The channel daemon should automagically pipe your messages to the correct | |faction line by typing 'jihad message_here', like with every other | |channel. | | | |TEMPLES AND DEATH: | |Each faction has its own center of power, the great Cathedrals of their | |faiths. Each has its own unique guardian. Members of the faction can go | |to their temple when they die by typing 'temple' and then 'pray' for | |resurrection. Each temple also can offer a special bonus unique to each | |temple once per reboot. Directions to each temple can be found at | |'help temples'. | | | |RESURRECTION | |Each faction has a subclass of cleric to aid them in their holy cause. | |Not only can these chosen warriors fight, they can also call their allies | |back from death's embrace. The penalties for being given life this way | |rather than from the gods are less severe; however, they vary according | |to the relationships between factions. | |__________________________________________________________________________|
