Templates
Templates are files that can modify something about an NPC. They are created in a .rac file located in the lib/gamedata/racedata/templates
directory. There are several templates already made that you can use so please check this list to see if something may already exist before making a new one.
Templates are assigned to mobs in the mob file with the TEMPLATE:
line.
Examples: Here's a couple mobs that have templates.
#18452
asp shadow snake~
&+La &Cws&CLhadow &cwa&cLsp&N~
&cLA &Cws&cLnake of &cwp&cLure &cws&cLhadow sits here weaving hypnotically.&N~
&cLA small, winding viper with tiny, &cwg&CLleaming &cwe&cLyes stares blankly.
&cLThe length of its body is bathed in &cws&CLhadow and difficult to
&cLperceive any details or marks. In fact, it is difficult to say
&cLthat this creature even has any patterns at all. Seemingly
&cLentirely composed of &cwd&cLarkness, no light reflects from any
&cLscales, giving you the impression of insubstantiality.&N

#18407
boy child son lost victim exhausted terrorized~
&+wa &cLterrorized&cw boy&N~
&cLAn &Cwexhausted boy&cL rests here uneasily.&N~
&cLA young boy has escaped from a hag's clutches. Jumping in fear,
&cLstartled by your approach, he tries to calm down, whispering
&cLreassuringly to himself. His knees are &crskinned&CL and&cy muddy
&cLwhere he has fallen from running in the thick impenetrable
&cLmist. Dirt is &cysmeared&CL across his face, and his hair hangs
&cLin tangling knots from being caged like an animal for so long.&N

raven dire~
&+La dire raven&N~
&cLA dire raven is perched here.&N~
&cLShiny feathers make up the midnight black wings of this
&cLmysterious bird. &CrCrimson eyes&cL stare at you with unnerving
&cLintensity. In an instant the bird is aloft, with a flutter
&cLof movement startling you right out of your skin!&N

Rank templates are used to beef up mobs of unusual significance.
- Ranks should be used sparingly. Mobs that receive ranks should be clearly significant from the player perspective before they engage in combat with it.
- This goes double for the Legend rank: can this creature kill Tiamat? If not, you probably shouldn't use this rank.
Rank Templates (In order of power) |
---|
Lieutenant |
Captain |
Champion |
Boss |
Legend |
Ranks can affect the following stats:
-
Ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, etc.)
-
Hitroll
-
Damroll
-
Hit points
-
HP regeneration rate
-
Armor class
-
Switch frequency
-
Number of attacks
-
In addition to having boosted stats, ranked mobs are also worth more experience to reflect the increased difficulty in killing them.
