Latest revision as of 00:56, 10 October 2024
The ancient dracnari skill of Beastmastery allows the training and transformation of certain creatures, sometimes referred to as beasts, which can range from a simple horse to a great winged wyvern. By using certain alchemical reagents, beasts can be transformed to grow wings or taught to cast simple spells. Although you may have and train as many beasts as you like (and can afford the stable fees), you can only ever have one beast out at any one time. |

Riding
Syntax |
MOUNT <beast>
DISMOUNT |
For Training:
|
By training your beast for riding, you can mount and dismount the beast.
Swimming
Syntax |
FORD <direction> |
For Training:
|
By training your beast to swim, you can ford across rivers and other watery areas upon your steed. As long as you remain on your steed, you will not be in danger of drowning.
Balancing
For Training:
|
While your beast is trained to balance, it will be difficult to move, thus making you difficult to move (and thus hard to knock you off while mounted).
Battle
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER ATTACK <target> |
For Training:
|
You can train any beast to attack, and its damage is dependent on its level. Note that beasts will only attack upon command.
Additional Notes: |
Beasts can also attack denizens. |
Galloping
Syntax |
GALLOP <direction> |
For Training:
|
Gallop quickly in a direction upon a mounted steed.
Additional Notes: |
Gallop is similar to sprinting. |
Whistling
Syntax |
BEAST WHISTLE |
If you have a beast out of a stable, you can whistle and call it to you.
Additional Notes: |
Only works from within the same plane. |
Armour
For Training:
|
By hardening the hide of your beast, it will absorb damage.
Trader
Syntax |
BEAST TRADE TO <player> |
Trade your beast to another, transferring its loyalty. Make sure you get a good price!
Additional Notes: |
You can also list your beast for sale at your city or commune stables. STABLE SELL <beast> <price> to set your beast for sale, or STABLE SELL <beast> STOP to remove it from sale. |
Diving
Syntax |
DIVE
RISE |
For Training:
|
You can train your beast to dive into the depths of the ocean.
StableMaster
Syntax |
BEAST DISMISS FEED
BEAST SUMMON <beast> |
You can dismiss your beast, sending it back to its stable. Your bond is so strong that the beast need not be in your presence in order to dismiss. You may also summon a beast from its stable, though this may take a little time before the beast can find you.
If you dismiss a beast with the 'feed' option, it will feed out of its feedbag while it is in the stable.
Additional Notes: |
When you can't whistle your beast, you can always dismiss it (even if it's not nearby) and then summon it again, though this takes a while. |
Regeneration
For Training:
|
By speeding up different parts of a beast's metabolism, you can also speed up the regeneration of their health, mana, or ego.
Trotting
For Training:
|
This is an automatic ability for a beast trained to trot. You will be able to spur your beast into a trot, so that when you are mounted you can move further before worrying about undue haste.
Aggressive
For Training:
|
You can increase the damage of battle beasts by increasing its aggressive nature.
Jumping
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER JUMP <direction> |
For Training:
|
Use your beast to jump over obstructions.
MinorBreath
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER BREATHE <type> <target> |
Beast Mana: 500
For Training:
|
You can transform your beast to breathe different types of breath weapons, each with a different damage type.
Changelog:
- Beastmastery MinorBreath now crits against mobiles, and has a slight damage increase. (#675 on 02-16-2017)
- Beastmastery MinorBreath used on denizens should now properly break shields if the beast has aggressive. (#665 on 02-11-2017)
Influencing
For Training:
|
This is a passive ability. So long as a beast has been trained to help you influence, you will automatically gain a bonus while using the influence type so long as your beast is at your side.
Additional Notes: |
1/8 buff to that kind of influencing. |
AdvancedRiding
Syntax |
VAULT <beast>
GET <item> |
Your skills in riding mounted beasts have improved to the extent where you are capable of the following skills:
Vaulting
Instead of mounting a beast trained in riding, you can vault onto it, cutting your balance time by two-thirds.
Getting
Your ease of being upon your steed is so great that you can easily scoop up items that lay on the ground while still mounted.
Flying
Syntax |
SPUR <beast> SKYWARDS, LAND |
For Training:
|
Whether your beast naturally has wings or specially grown with reagents, your beast can fly you into the wild blue yonder.
BeastEmpath
Syntax |
BEAST EMPATH [HEALTH|MANA|EGO] |
Your bond with your loyal beasts are so great that you can channel your own health, mana, or ego into your beasts. Note that this uses a beast action, as though you ordered them.
Burrowing
Syntax |
BURROW |
For Training:
|
Your beast can burrow below the ground, if possible. BURROW BELOW will allow you to break through the surface or dig deeper down. You can dig upwards with BURROW ABOVE. To move horizontally, use BURROW <dir>.
Charging
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER CHARGE <dir> |
For Training:
|
Lead your beast in a wild, rampant charge in a given direction, breaking down any walls in your way and travelling until you can go no further.
Gust
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER GUST
BEAST ORDER GUST <player> <direction> |
For Training:
|
If your beast has wings, you can train it to flap its wings to create a gust that can either blow a fog or cloud out of the room, or blow a player in a particular direction.
MajorBreath
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER BREATHE <type> |
Beast Mana: 1000
For Training:
|
You can transform your beast to breathe a special type of breath weapon which will flood a room with a cloud that effects all enemies.
Healing
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER HEAL [HEALTH|MANA|EGO] |
Beast Ego: 500 For Training:
|
Every beast has channels of energy within, and you can train the beast to tap into its reserves and channel those energies into you.
Climbing
Syntax |
ORDER <beast> CLIMB [UP|DOWN] |
For Training:
|
Train your beast to climb trees.
Blocking
Syntax |
BLOCK <direction> |
For Training:
|
Train your beast to use its mass to block exits.
Changelog:
- Beastmastery Blocking is now based on the relative number of body trains to mind and spirit trains instead of the player's size. (#115 on 03-14-2012)
Scaling
Syntax |
SCALE UP |
For Training:
|
You can train your beast to scale up the mountain heights.
Chameleon
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER CHAMELEON [ON/OFF] |
Beast Mana: 500
For Training:
|
By training your beast to blend in with the surroundings like a chameleon, you may order the beast to disappear from cursory sight at will.
Kicking
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER KICK <player> <direction> |
For Training:
|
Allows you to buck someone into an adjacent room, assuming they are not mounted, prone, or have defenses that prevent you from moving them.
Trampling
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER TRAMPLE |
For Training:
|
Whip your beast into a fury and trample the ground. Any personal enemies who are prone in your location will be in danger of having their limbs crushed under your steed's deadly rampage. The number of limbs crushed is based partly on chance and partly on your steed's level. The amount of damage is based upon the level of your steed and number of limbs crushed. Further, the larger group of enemies that are trampled the fewer potential limbs will be crushed per individual (i.e., trampling 4-6 people will only potentially break 3 limbs per person, and over that the maximum that could be broken per person is 2 limbs.)
Note that this ability requires and uses your own personal balance.
Curing
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER CURE [BODY|MIND|SPIRIT] |
Beast Mana: 1000
For Training:
|
Every beast has channels of energy within, and you can train the beast to tap into its reserves and channel those energies into you to cure you of certain ailments.
Additional Notes: |
These cure approximately the same afflictions as the corresponding FOCUS skills in Discipline. |
Bodyguard
For Training:
|
If you have this skill, your beast will automatically attempt to protect you from attacks. This is only effective against denizens (i.e., not players).
Poison
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER DRINK <poison>
BEAST ORDER SPIT <target> BEAST ORDER PURGE |
For Training:
|
By having your beast grow special venom sacs, your beast can drink poisons and then spit them out. You must first allow your beast to sip from a vial of poison to fill its venom sac. For every 5 applications in a vial, your beast will be able to spit once. Your beast's venom sac cannot hold more than 10 uses nor can it hold more than one type of poison.
Spellcasting
Syntax |
BEAST ORDER CAST [REFLECTION|HYPNOTICGAZE] |
Beast Mana: 1500
For Training:
|
Some beasts are intelligent enough that you can train them to cast spells.
Beastmaster
Syntax |
BEASTMASTER LEARN <skill>
BEASTMASTER IMBUE |
Power: 10 (any) to learn, 3 (any) to imbue |
You can master one beastmaster skill and be able to temporarily imbue it in one of your beasts. The skill will last one hour and you may imbue three times per month. Typing BEASTMASTER on its own will show you whether you can train a beast this month, or how long a beast has left before it will forget the Beastmaster skill.
