Action Descriptors

This is a list of the Action Description seen by others. These descriptors follow a person name, and are not system messages. For example; Evyndd (digging).

This list has been compiled by many major souls, and before being posted in the TAG library I (Evyndd) dug it out of some old forums, revised it, and posted it to the YMGP forum, after which it has undergone yet more revision.

Anything in (parenthesis) means that it's unknown whether whatever is in () is true or not. Anything in brackets [] is simply a note.
