Hail doesn't work properly on NPC Kaldar/Gnomes :(

---

Osmandikar strides in.

> wave osman
You wave to Osmandikar.

> look osman
You see Osmandikar, a Kaldar.
Osmandikar has dark eyes. He has long, red hair worn in dreadlocks, tanned skin and the look of a man who was once heavy but is now slim.
He is middle-aged for a Kaldar.

He is wearing a simple silver chain, a dingy white linen shirt with an open neckline, some drab brown breeches and some open-toed sandals.

> hail osman
You go through the motions of the traditional Kaldaran greeting but it just doesn't seem quite right.

>>Yeah. It wouldn't.

Really? I could have sworn I hailed that blue-haired Kaldar merchant at HE.

>>By merchant do you mean GMNPC or NPC? They're not the same thing (mechanically) at all.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about GMNPCs, because I recognized the name Osmandikar as a GMNPC. The merchant I was referring to was also a GMNPC.

But if he's an NPC, then yes, I see the problem.

>>Both solutions sound easy enough for the rare times where I'll remember a GMNPC is Kaldar/Gnome and want to hail them. :(

A bit late to the party here, but you can hail GMNPCs. I suppose GM-PC would be more accurate, as to my understanding they are mechanically the same thing as PCs, only with super happy fun GM editing powers (i.e. they show up in the 'Also here' category in the room description instead of in the room text like an NPC merchant.)

Once the GM evacuates said GMNPC, however, they again become a standard NPC (assuming they stick around in the room), and hail does not work anymore.

>>A bit late to the party here, but you can hail GMNPCs.

I meant to say NPC in my sarcastic/snarky response.
