Synopsis
scan
scan [<direction name>] [<filter>] [<# of rooms>]
Description
Scan can be used by anyone, regardless of whether or not they have the "scan" proficiency. However, if you do not have the proficiency, you can not make use of scanning in a specific direction, and you cannot scan more than one room beyond your current position.
The "scan" proficiency enables the user to detect creatures and where they are in the immediate area being scanned. This proficiency can also detect:
- closed or hidden doors
- ship debris
- ship cargo salvage (steamer trunks)
- portals (worldgates and other magical portals)
- Specifying a number of rooms to scan (1-7) will allow you to limit your
- scan, or increase it as much as you are able - the maximum number of
- rooms that can be scan will be limited by your training in the "scan"
- proficiency.
