New Empath Ability: Perceive Health Self 08/27/2010 10:29 PM CDT
Good evening!

I have just released a new ability for Empaths of all skill levels, perceive health self. The command to use this ability is PERCEIVE HEALTH SELF. Note that the word is self, and not your character's name. You can see the documentation by inputting PERCEIVE HEALTH SELF HELP.

Perceive health self is a utility that is meant to allow Empaths to sense the entirety of their own wounds. It takes the data an Empath would get if they could use the diagnostic touch utility on themselves, and displays it for them. It will display the health information in the familiar window if you have one, in the main window highlighted, if not, just like TOUCH does currently.

This ability doesn't teach anything -- it's meant purely as a quality of life sort of thing. It's mainly geared toward lower level Empaths, but I hope it shall be somewhat useful to all of you.

Please post here if you notice any oddities. And of course, as always, the BUG command is great.

I'll be sure to roll this into TF in the next few days, if nothing catches on fire or explodes.

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.

I love you, textually.

You are now my favorite GM!

OK, maybe I am overreacting, but I can't tell you how happy I am to see this release.

I humbly suggest anybody who isn't an empath using the PERCEIVE HEALTH SELF HELP command should receive the message, "You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you."

Thanks.

That might be useful once in a while, thanks. Maybe now people will stop asking for it :P

It doesn't show up in the PERCEIVE <INVALID OPTION> help menu though.

Thanks,

While is was humbly suggested, I am going to awesomely second this, and dynamically pushing for it to be made so.

Made me laugh.
