Resistances, MUDschool quests, and something for Lords

Mudschool now has its very own quest and quest reward for newbies to entice them to find more quests. In addition, five quest boards for low morts have been added, in the Meadow, Stonehall, Midgaard, Wildwood, and Zin. These boards mention some quests newbies can look for.

-----------------

As mentioned previously (board 7, #174), resistances have now entered the game for Heroes. (Lord will not be worked on for a few months.)

This means:
1. gear with resistances and gear with susceptibilities
2. weapons with damage modifers
3. mobs with resistances, susceptibilities, and damage types - inherently
gained, rather than by an object they wear

Changes affect ALL copies of gear, so you don't have to re-enchant items, although this means you will also see some vulnerabilities. For now, mob resistances have appeared in areas which also had a piece of gear to modify. A total of 47 area files were modified, though a handful of them have only modified gear, not any modified mobs.

An item in Battleground and an item in Great Divide have been modded beyond just resistances. Both were previously statless items.

As resistances are relatively new, I welcome any comments or questions. If you find anything strange, please le me know so I can look at it and see if it needs to be corrected. Email Zahri@outland.org or use board 2.

Help files include: help resistances, damtypes, and damage modifiers.

For Lords, from Ctibor:

Bandu has been renting out rooms again after running out of gold many times in recent past.
His new lodger may appreciate assistance from the wealthy and curious.
