Utensils

From Discworld MUD Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Utensils are items which can be used as a defensive flying shield with the spell Grammer Scorbic's Household Guard. Most, but not all, floatable utensils can be identified with the command 'locate utensils'. Furthermore, not all items that can be referred to as utensils can be used by the spell.

[edit] Floating utensils

The following table contains all utensils known to work with the spell. While it is unclear if length, width and material influence the performance of floating utensils, they are added for completeness.

Please add any missing item that can be used with Grammer Scorbic's Household Guard to float and block attacks.

Defensive bonus information

The half blocking column shows the lowest tested magic.spells.defensive bonus at which the utensil has about equal chance of blocking or letting the blow hit. There should be the most defensive tms for this utensil around this bonus.

The effective blocking column shows the lowest tested magic.spells.defensive bonus at which the utensil almost always blocks attacks. At this bonus it shouldn't tm defensive anymore.

Bonuses were added in italic from Rhonda's research[1] but the blocking rate those bonuses indicated was not specified.

Please update the bonuses when possible.

[edit] Container utensils

Utensils that can contain liquids (potentially solid containers too if any are found) can have all the weights between their empty weight and filled weight. Just add or remove some water or objects until you get the desired weight.

This could help those trying to get magic.spells.defensive and magic.methods.physical.binding tms from Grammer Scorbic's Household Guard by allowing one to slowly increase the weight of the utensil, thus adjusting how often your utensil is too late to block.

Unfortunately, it seems that currently only the empty item's weight counts for the utensil blocking. It does seem to require and tm magic.methods.physical.binding for the filled weight though.

See the table above for the other characteristics of the items.

Item Empty weight (lb) Filled weight (lb) Max contained weight (lb) Liquid container?
old rusty saucepan &&&+90 10 &&+150 16 6/9 &&&+60 6 6/9 Yes
small cauldron &&&+40 4 4/9 &&&+69 7 6/9 &&&+29 3 2/9 Yes
(Analla's) small cauldron &&&&+7 7/9 &&&+30 3 3/9 &&&+23 2 5/9 Yes
small battered kettle &&&&+5 5/9 &&&+25 2 7/9 &&&+20 2 2/9 Yes
