The Gym
Before you step into the ring, prepare yourself by adjusting your abilities and skills at ringside. This is where brains and brawn meet to create the ultimate fighting machine. You perform these commands right in the chat room.ABILITIES
Your basic abilities are defined by the 4 attributes strength, agility, endurance, and will power. The higher the better.
| Attribute | Description |
| STRENGTH | A measure of your 'brawn' or physical muscle. A high strength lets you do more damage with your hands. |
| AGILITY | Dexterity and coordination. Your ability to dance and weave to avoid being hit. |
| ENDURANCE | The amount of physical damage you can take. The higher your endurance the more punishment you can withstand. Each time you're hit it is reduced by the damage inflicted. When your endurance reaches 0 you are out. |
| WILLPOWER | The desire to go on when you body has given up. If you are knocked down, it is your ability to get up. On each count you will draw upon this inner strength to pull yourself up. However each time you are knocked down it will take even more willpower to return. |
SKILL
Your skill as a boxer is represented by your "boxing skill". When you try to do something that depends on that skill (punch, feint, etc) your chance of succeeding is based on your skill level. For example, if your boxing skill was 75 then you'd hit someone 75%% of the time you JAB. Note however that this figure gives the probability of succeeding with a task of average difficulty. Your skill is modified for difficult tasks (hard punches) or unfavorable situations (if you're stunned). So if you were trying to throw a more difficult punch like HOOK HEAD your "effective skill" may really be much less than your normal boxing skill.
ADJUSTING ABILITIES AND SKILLS
Use the INC and DEC command to adjust your abilities and skills. Use the STAT command to see how many skills points you have available to spend. When you move up in a division, you gain more skills points to spend.
| Command | Description |
| INC <attribute> <amount> | Use the INCrease command to raise your attributes using the skill points you have available to spend. |
| DEC <attribute> <amount> | The DECrease command will lower an attribute and add those skill points to the amount you have available. Its used to take points from one attribute to be added to another. |
<attribute> is one of your abilities (ST,
AG, WP, BS
and ED).
<amount> is how much you wish to increase or decrease it by. (Up to the
number of skill points you have available to spend).
For example:
INC ST 10 Increases
your strength by 10 points
INC ED 7 Increases your endurance by 7 points
DEC ST 10 decreases your strength by 10 points
To get more skill points you can
1) DECrease another attribute or
2) Gain bonus skill points when your score qualifies you to move to the next
division up.
