Player Tools Guide

[SkillFocuspwn]

[SIZE="3"]Player Tools:[/SIZE]
Accessible through the crafting menu (right click on your character, click on the icon directly left on the wheel, and on the second wheel click on the anvil directly upwards), there are 10 player tool slots, each of which can be given a player tool. These act as feats and can be put onto the quickslot bar or accessed directly through right clicking on the slot you wish to put it in, or on yourself. Then choose the direct left circle option on the radial menu, and the class tool (in the bottom left on the second option circle) where they can be found (the wand-looking icons). Simply hover the mouse over them to see which player tool slot it relates to.

[INDENT]Control Companion:
This can be used to direct summoned creatures, animal companions, familiars or henchmen, allowing finer control. First, use the player tool on the companion. Then, use the same player tool to click on either a location or an object. If you click on a location, the companion will move to where you clicked. Anything locked will be picked (if the companion has open lock) or bashed. Unlocked doors will be opened, while unlocked chests will always be bashed. If you click on any creature, the companion will attack it.

Search Inventory:
Attempts to search a PC within close enough range, giving a list of all items in their inventory. Use the player tool on the PC. If they are standing, they will be given a confirmation that they agree to be searched, which they can refuse. If they have been subdued, they can be searched without needing confirmation.

Yank Pack:
This can be used to place the make the pack of a subdued or bleeding PC appear on the floor next to them, so you can loot a defeated enemy or help your ally with their own healing. Simply use the player tool on a downed PC when close to them.

Drop Pack:
Basically the personal equivalent of Yank Pack, allowing you to drop your own inventory for whatever reason (this can be used whether you're bleeding/subdued or not). Use the player tool and click on yourself to drop your pack.

Collect Pack:
Allows you to quickly pick up all items in your own pack, whether it was dropped through death or either of the above tools (though those of other players will need to be taken manually). Use the tool and click on the pack and all the items will be collected automatically.

Knock:
Can be used to knock on a door, which sends a message *Knock* to everyone in talk distance to both sides of the door (even over transitions). Use the tool and click on the door you wish to knock.

Aim Catapult:
This tool can be used to fire a catapult at the point which the tool is used on, though there are limitations to how far or close a catapult can be fired. The tool does not need to be used on the catapult; instead, simply stand near it and use the player tool on the point you'd like to fire at. Note it doesn't follow moving enemies, staying aimed at the point of ground they were on when the tool was used on them.

Portable Alchemy Kit:
This is the basic starting piece for any alchemist. More about alchemy itself can be found elsewhere on the forums, but to use the tool itself, simply click on any spot of free ground near you. Make sure you're suitably distant from NPCs, preferably in an area that contains none or well away from them if not.
(More general info incoming!)

Portably Herbalism Kit:
This is the basic starting piece for a herbalist. More about herbalism itself can be found elsewhere on the forums, but to use the tool itself, simply click on any spot of free ground near you. Make sure you're suitably distant from NPCs, preferably in an area that contains none or well away from them if not.
(More general info incoming!)

Diagnose Withering:
This tool can be used to diagnose yourself or others to see vaguely how far along with the Withering they are, indicated by one of seven stages. More information on the Withering itself can be found elsewhere, but to use the tool, just click on the PC you wish to diagnose.

Portable Cooking Kit:
This is the basic starting piece for a chef. More about cooking can be found elsewhere on the forums, but to use the tool itself, simply click on any spot of free ground near you. Although not as extreme as Alchemy and Herbalism, it is still best to ensure you're not too close to any NPCs.
(More general info incoming!)

Potion Homogenizer:
This tool can be used to make potions with identical effects and caster levels stack. If you have two potions with identical names and effects that don't stack, or two potions with different names but identical effects, simply use the tool on both potions. If this doesn't work, first check to see the effect of the potion, especially the number in the brackets next to the name of the spell effect. If this number is different, the potions won't stack even after homogenizing. If the number is the same, try using the homogenizer again after you've drunk one of each potion.

Sunder Magic:
Used in alchemy, more information on it can be found elsewhere on the forums. To do it, simply use the player tool on the item you wish to sunder.

Climb tool:
Much like the climbing claw, it allows you to climb up rock faces without a claw, at a higher difficulty rather then with a claw. The way one uses said tool is by going up to a cliff side and clicking its top with the tool.

Harvest Meat:
The same as the surgical knife or the meat knife, it allows you to gather meat at a higher difficulty rather then with a knife. To use this tool, select it and then click the corpse of an animal that has not yet faded to a loot bag.

Harvest Poison Glands:
A new tool that allows one to gather poisons from creatures such as and not limited to spiders and snakes. To use this tool, select it and then click the corpse of an animal that has not yet faded to a loot bag.

PVP tool:
As the name implies it is a tool to hostile or not hostile a player target. To use this tool, select the tool then click the player. This will either hostile them if they are not hostiled, or unhostile them if they are.[/INDENT]

[INDENT]Examine Mark: A rogue is able to glean details about others that most people don't notice. Select a creature to examine it. The depth of the details provided will depend on a number of factors, including how many rogue levels you possess and the number of ranks of spot or heal skill that you have.[/INDENT]
