Is there a way of doing damage to a player from a mob without starting a fight. ?.

What i want is a mob to slap a player for there insolence (its a Drow thing

) without starting any kind of fight.

On a similar note can a mob cast an aggressive spell on a player for example curse without starting a fight ?

You could just RP it, you know.

EDIT: Oh phooey. Didn't check the forum part, sorry.

You can damage someone without starting a fight with

Code: Select all

mpmadd $n currhp -X

where X is the amount of hit points substracted (consider the D&D equivalent, then multiply it by apprimately 3).

As for casting a spell without starting a fight, I'm not sure. You could try using mpaffect instead of cast, but it might still start a fight (that's worth testing when the area is on the test port).

Couldn't you smote that he/she casted a spell... but just use the currhp -x
if it is too much trouble to go the other way around?

I am happy with the slap being a combination of Mpadd for the damage plus some echos.

The other thing is that i want a priestess Mob to curse (the spell that is) the player without starting a fight. (which would be a very bad idea for the player)

I do believe curse is a non combat spell... so your safe with it auto starting a fight
