Subject: /conning creatures


>

/Con colors are purely level dependent. Creatures 4+ levels below will con
green, 1-3 levels below will con blue, equals will con white/black, 1-3 above
are yellow, and 4+ are red. The text associated with the con will give the
relative difficulty with the fight although they are still a bit misleading
and to general for my taste.
