Jaranon Great Sword Quest

Durred: Tssasskkas scales is main ticket, not catseye gem

* Get the catseye gem from the toolbox that is in [[Rockfist]]'s inventory.
* Follow the directions to [[Tssasskkas]], kill it and come back to the lich's tower with [[Tssasskkas Scales]] and a [[Jumara Scale Armor]] (found on the [[Eyeless Terror]]s beneath Tssasskkas.
* Give the Tssasskkas scales to the Lich (pp is ''spirit Tzzan''). Beware, there are two mobs in the room - the spirit Tzzan and the skeleton of the said lich. You give these items to the '''skeleton''', whereas the spirit is involved in the [[Fizzing White Potion Quest]].

You give tssasskkas scales to The lich.
The lich takes your a catseye gem.
The lich takes your jumara scale armor.
The spirit says "Thank you," and then begins intoning ancient words of power.
The catseye gem and the jumara scale armor disappear into the mirror.
Jaranon smiles happily, then takes scales from the breastplate and wraps them
around the hilt, whispering spells as he works. Another spell binds the gem
to the hilt. The completed sword emerges from the mirror hilt first.
The lich gives you a [[Jaranon Great Sword|Jaranon great sword]]!

== Diplomatic Corps ==

Giants may participate in the Diplomatic Corps every 10 levels at lowmort. All Giants should report to [[Nhug|Nhug]] when they are ready to begin.

== Comments ==

Giants get an enormous amount of HP, more than any other race, remort or creatable. This makes them absurdly big regardless of class. However, their dexterity (and thus dodging) is poor and they lack natural armor, so in combat they tend to lose the HP at a faster pace. Due to this flaw they make exceptional berserkers (berserkers are highly resistant to damage).

Giants also have a racial damage modifier and considerable strength, so they make excellent warriors and other brute classes.

Their powerswing ability makes them very proficient with two-handed weapons, allowing them to deal more damage than races without it - thus paladins are also a possible career (paladins use two-handed swords).

Giant stealth is bad, archery as well, and casting ability is poor.

== Elemental Giants ==

The [[:Category: Elemental Giant Races | Elemental Giants]] are subgroups of the Giant race that have somehow
been imbued with Elemental magic. This Elemental nature that permeates
their being gives these Giants access to a variety of unique abilities.
It also allows Elemental Giants to cast more spells before resting than
ordinary Giants.

Despite their distinct nature, Elemental Giants share many similarities
with their more common cousins. All Giants are massive creatures that
are incredibly strong and extremely hardy. They all have a fondness of
eating corpses and they all excel at using two-handed weapons.

Like ordinary Giants, Elemental Giants are, generally speaking, atrocious
spell-casters. However, their Elemental nature allows them to fare better
than normal with certain specific types of magic. This magical affinity
means that Elemental Giants will have better success when casting certain
types of spells, and they will expend less magical energy while doing so.

There is an important distinction between Elemental Giants and true
Elementals. True Elementals are entirely composed of their corresponding
element, be it Fire, Air, Earth, or Water. Elemental Giants remain beings
of flesh and blood.

Giants are eligible to become Elemental Giants at Lord Level 25.
The following races are available along with their corresponding element:

[[Fire Giants]] - Fire

[[Cloud Giants]] - Air

[[Stone Giants]] - Earth

[[Frost Giants]] - Water

Elemental Giants seem to have a -5% spell cost on their elemental spells (e.g. Cloud Giants have -5% spell cost for air, water, or electric magic) however they cannot tingle these spells to no-fail even at 100%. That being, fail rate is quite reasonable at 100%.

Racial Spell Cost Modifier

2022-01-27T20:11:19Z

Durred: added Ign and Hel arcane spell cost

'''Every race''' has a racial spell cost modifer associated with it. There are three kinds of spells, arcane (mage/wzd/sor type), divine (cleric type) and psionic.

A negative modifier means the spell cost is lower.

== Effective Mana ==
Note that the following shows the spell cost modifier. We can define the ''effective mana'' as the mana a human would need to cast the same amount as a particular race. If x is the racial spellcost modifier (in percentage), then the effective mana is 100 / (100 + x).

For example, a -25% spell cost modifier for sprite translates into 33% more effective mana.

Effective mana is the more directly useful notion, since finally, that's what determines how much you can cast.

== Worship ==
The effect of worship on spellcost is multiplicative:

racial-modifier * (1 + worship-modifier) = cost-modifier

Bhyss (-10%) Sprite (75% normal cost):
0.75 * (1 + -0.1) = 0.675, which is 67.5% of regular cost - a 32.5% reduction.
Werredan (+10%) Minotaur (125%):
1.25 * (1 + 0.1) = 1.375, a 37.5% increase in cost, driving for example Foci from 400 to 550.

== The values ==
The entries have been computed usually by checking spell cost for [[Foci]] for arcane (400 mana for hum atheist), [[Fortitudes]] for psionic (400) and [[Awen]] for divine (500) and then accounting for worship reduction using the [[Worship]] table.

Durred: /* Fighting */

<pre>
There have been many rumors over the years regarding a group
of divine adherents who have come to be known as Viziers. Some
people whisper about suspected links to a fallen god from the
Second Giant-Ent war while others joyfully tell tales of the
miraculous healing they have received from the order.

Their utter reluctance to use any form of weapons or shields
while staunchly supporting their comrades has earned them
a grudging form of respect despite their ... unusual methods.

The following is a torn off page from a Vizier recruitment
brochure found in Midgaard:
