Yeoman

From Wikihack

The Yeoman is a role specific to the game SLASH'EM. Yeomen are based primarily around the Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London; in the game, they are primary melee combatants with particular skill in riding and polearm use. Yeomen must be generated male and lawful. According to the guidebook:

              Yeomen are sturdy fighters. They are famed for their ability
         to stand doing nothing for hours. It is said that this is because
         they  are  none  too bright. Yeomen can both take a lot of damage
         and inflict it on others.

[edit] Starting Inventory

• a +2 short sword
• a +1 partisan
• +1 leather armor
• +0 high boots
• +0 leather gloves
• 10-20 apples
• 10-20 carrots
• 3 uncursed potions of water
• a fishing pole

A Yeoman's starting pet is always a pony with a saddle.

[edit] Abilities

Yeomen can identify all non-magical weapons and armor from the beginning. Yeomen begin the game with the calm steed technique, which increases the level of tameness of the creature they are riding. This is a particularly useful skill for players who wish to ride exotic beasts like the ki-rin.

However, Yeomen also start the game intrinsically slow, making 4 moves for every 5 units of time.

• At experience level 7 Yeomen gain intrinsic speed.
• At experience level 15 Yeomen gain the intrinsic ability to swim.
