static char *game_fighter = "Strength is the main attribute of the Fighter.  \
He can wield any weapon and the two-handed sword is his weapon of choice.  He \
can also wear any type of armor.  Plate armor being the best choice and \
leather armor the worst.  The Fighter is  able to sense both traps and gold \
at higher experience levels.  His natural     quest item is the Axe of Aklad.  \
Due to his superior form, the Fighter usually  receives more hit-points per \
new experience level than the other characters.    The Fighter is neither good \
or evil; he is a neutral character.  The default    attribute values of the \
Fighter are: Int=7, Str=16, Wis=7, Dxt=16, Con=17, and  Chr=11.  Default gold \
amount is 2000 pieces and default hit-points are 24.";

static char *game_thief = "Dexterity is the main attribute of the Thief.  His \
stealth allows him to move   quietly, thus disturbing less monsters.  He can \
sense traps and gold and can    take (steal) things from the monsters.  The \
Thief can not wield the two-handed  sword so the bastard sword is his weapon \
of choice.  He can only wear studded   leather armor.  The Thief's natural \
quest item is the Daggers of Musty Doit.    With higher dexterity the Thief \
is able to \"backstab\" monsters, thereby killing them with a single blow.  \
His character type fluctuates between that of good,   neutral, and evil.  The \
default attribute values of the Thief are:  Int=7,      Str=14, Wis=7, Dxt=18, \
Con=17, and Chr=11.  Default gold amount is 2000 pieces  and default \
hit-points are 23.";

static char *game_assassin = "Dexterity is the main attribute of the \
Assassin.  Like the Thief, he moves with an extra degree of stealth.  He can \
sense gold and steal things from monsters.  The ability to sense traps comes \
at higher experience levels.  The Assassin can not wield the two-handed sword \
and he can only wear studded leather armor.  The natural quest item of the \
Assassin is the Eye of Vecna.  He is also skilled in  the use of poison.  \
Higher dexterity enables him to \"assassinate\" monsters with a single blow.  \
The Assassin is aligned with the powers of evil.  The default   attribute \
values of the Assassin are: Int=7, Str=14, Wis=7, Dxt=18, Con=17, and \
Chr=11.  Default gold amount is 2000 pieces and default hit-points are 23.";

static char *game_ranger = "Charisma is the main attribute of the Ranger who \
also has a secondary attribute of Intelligence.  Like the Magician, this \
gives him the ability to cast spells  which increases as he attains higher \
experience levels.  Like the Fighter, he   can wield any weapon and wear any \
armor.  The Ranger's natural quest item is    the Mandolin of Brian.  He is \
aligned with the powers of good.  Therefore, he   can be made to suffer and \
even become cursed by the very powers that allow him  to cast spells if he \
happens to cause the demise of a likewise good creature.   The default \
attribute values of the Ranger are: Int=11, Str=11, Wis=7, Dxt=16,  Con=16, \
and Chr=13.  Default gold amount is 2000 pieces and default hit-points  \
are 22.";

static char *game_paladin = "Charisma is the main attribute of the Paladin \
who has a secondary attribute of  Wisdom.  Like the Cleric, this gives him \
the ability to offer prayers, receive  what his heart desires, and an ability \
to turn the undead.  This ability will   increase as he gains higher \
experience levels.  Like the Fighter, he can wield  any weapon and wear any \
armor.  The Ankh of Heil is the Paladin's natural quest item.  Like the \
Ranger, the Paladin is aligned with the powers of good.  This   can cause \
him to suffer and become cursed if he brings ruin to a likewise good  \
creature.  The default attribute values of the Paladin are:  Int=7, \
Str=11,     Wis=11, Dxt=16, Con=16, and Chr=13.  Default gold amount is \
2000 pieces and     default hit-points are 22.";

static char *game_druid = "Wisdom is the main attribute of the Druid.  This \
gives him the ability to chant secret words and mantras, which is much \
greater than that of the Monk.  The     Druid can not wield the two-handed or \
bastard swords but he can wear any armor. His natural quest item is the Quill \
of Nagrom.  Like the Magician and Cleric,   the Druid is aligned neutral.  He \
therefore, must rely upon his Wisdom and his  chanting ability in order to \
remain alive.  Likewise, he does not receive as    many new hit-points per \
new experience level.  The default attribute values of  the Druid are: Int=7, \
Str=10, Wis=14, Dxt=16, Con=15, and Chr=12.  Default gold amount is 2000 \
pieces and default hit-points are 21.";

static char *game_monk = "Constitution is the main attribute of the Monk who \
has a secondary aspect of    Wisdom.  Like the Druid, this gives him the \
ability to chant mantras which will increase as he gains higher experience.  \
The Monk can not wield the two-handed  sword and he can not wear any armor.  \
The Cloak of Emori is the Monk's natural  quest item.  The Monk can also \
sense traps, though much less than the Thief or  Assassin.  He is the most \
healthy character.  Like the Ranger and Paladin, he   is aligned with the \
powers of good.  Therefore, he is made to suffer and can    become cursed if \
he kills a likewise good creature.  The default attribute      values of the \
Monk are: Int=7, Str=11, Wis=11, Dxt=16, Con=18, and Chr=11.      Default \
gold amount is 2000 pieces and default hit-points are 22.";

static char *game_magician = "Intelligence is the main attribute of the \
Magician.  The Magician's ability to  cast spells is much greater than that \
of the Ranger.  He can not wield the two- handed or bastard swords, but he \
can wear any kind of armor.  His natural quest item is the Amulet of \
Stonebones.  The Magician is aligned neutral.  He must    rely upon his \
Intelligence and spell casting abilities to remain alive.  There- fore, he \
does not receive as many new hit-points per new experience level.  The \
default attribute values of the Magician are: Int=14, Str=10, Wis=7, \
Dxt=16,    Con=15, and Chr=12.  Default gold amount is 2000 pieces and \
default hit-points  are 21.";

static char *game_cleric = "Wisdom is the main attribute of the Cleric.  The \
Cleric's ability to give or    offer prayers, receive their due, and affect \
the undead are much greater than   that of the Paladin.  Like the Magician, \
the Cleric can not wield the two-      handed or bastard swords, but he can \
wear any armor.  His natural quest item is the Horn of Geryon.  The Cleric \
is aligned neutral  and he must rely upon his   Wisdom and prayer ability to \
remain alive.  He therefore, does not receive as   many new hit-points per \
new experience level.  The default attribute values of  the Cleric are: Int=7, \
Str=10, Wis=14, Dxt=16, Con=15, and Chr=12.  The default gold amount is 2000 \
pieces and default hit-points are 21.";


static char *game_food ="There are three types of food, regular food rations, \
various fruits, and slime- molds.  Eating regular food will add 750 points to \
your current food level      [see the CTRL(E) command].  Eating fruit adds \
300 points.  Certain fruits also  cure you, add an attribute point, add a \
hit-point, increase your armor, give    you additional prayer, chant, or spell \
casting abilities, or add experience     points.  Eating slime-mold (monster \
food) can make you ill, but they will add   100 points to your current food \
level.  If your food level points drop below    100 you will become weak.  You \
will faint and might die if they drop to 0 or    below.  At the other extreme, \
if your food level points reach 2000 (and above)  you will become satiated.  \
Risk eating more and you could choke to death.";
