Crossposting from the Bard Folders. :)

Thanks to the wonderful coding by Rigby and the talented writing of Cadaya, we present to you the BLUFF verb for your use. This is a verb that has some unique possibilities for Bards...

>bluff
Hah! As a Bard, you can BLUFF like so...

BLUFF <player|item|critter>
BLUFF <self>
BLUFF DISTRACT to gain a better chance at hiding.
BLUFF AMAZE to put on a charismatic show.
BLUFF DEAD to play dead. * Be warned, this could get you killed! *

Have fun with it guys, and feel free to report any bugs you find using either the BUG verb or the appropriate Bard Bugs folder. :) Some of it will be taxing to use, or require a certain amount of skill, so make sure that you play around with it a bit to see how it works before depending on it in a hectic situation.

Speaking of hectic situations, beware of using BLUFF DEAD where it can get you killed. If you are NOT successful in convincing others of your performance you may find yourself laying down, at melee, and in RT. Your best bet is to get with a group of friends and play with it first to see how it works.

This is what Hoome, Maelona, and I have been having so much fun testing lately. :)

PS I still say that BLUFF SELF makes you look like Gollum. <raspberries various GMs>
