[Communication help] description Syntax: desc Desc puts you into the description editor so that you may make your character's description. Within the editor, type .h for the editor help. .c will clear everything you have written so far. .s will show what you have thus far entered. .f will format the description to 80 chars/line, a big help to those with non-wrapping screens. And @ on a new line will get you back out of the editor. For roleplaying purposes, all characters must have at least a THREE LINE description by the time they reach NOVICE STATUS. Be sure to include your race and sex, but keep in mind that including your name in the description defeats the purpose of the anonymous character and greet system that Shattered Kingdoms uses. If your race and/or sex change, your description must be updated to fit. A good description will include physical attributes ONLY. No actions ("He always has a smile on his face."). No thoughts ("She hates all griffons for killing her family."). No invoked emotions in the viewer ("You stand in fear of his evil."). No equipment listing ("He wears the skins of red ticks from past battles.").

For Zmud, click on the little computer in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. For any other client, read its help files to determine how best to do this.
