Updated reference to 1135 upon release of empath profession service (Bloodsmith)

New page

'''Player services''' are profession-specific abilities that players can use to give themselves or other players permanent benefits, either directly or through permanent improvements to items. Not all professions currently have player services.

Characters must meet specific level and training prerequisites to gain access to their services and sometimes to unlock more advanced levels of those services.

== Resource Points ==

The use of player services is limited by resource points. These are named differently for each service, but are functionally identical. Once a character meets the prerequisites for their service, they will begin to accumulate resource points whenever they absorb experience via an experience pulse (or via offline absorption), at a 1:1 rate. This includes bonuses to experience absorption such as the [[Gift of Lumnis]]. Resource point accumulation is limited to 50,000 points per week, up to a maximum of 200,000 points. For the purpose of resource point accumulation, a new week begins whenever a character's Gift of Lumnis begins, including when {{boldmono|[[Gift of Lumnis#Lumnis Schedule|LUMNIS SCHEDULE]]}} is used.

Weekly and total resource point accumulation can be viewed using the {{boldmono|[[RESOURCE]]}} verb. There is also an in-game message when a character has accumulated their weekly maximum.

Resource points can be converted into suffused energy using [[Suffusion]], which can be used to increase the odds of success when providing a service.

Each service provision costs a certain number of resource points depending on the particular service and the tier of service being provided.

== Service Success Roll ==

Successfully providing a service requires a successful service roll. An open roll on a d100 is made, adding your character's service bonus and subtracting a difficulty modifier determined by the tier of service and the characteristics of the target. An endroll of 100 or greater will mean a successful service. A failure on this roll will cause a loss of 10% of the resource points and suffusion the service would have cost. If sufficient resource points remain, the service can be immediately re-attempted.

The player service roll is more limited than other open rolls -- it has only a 1% chance of exploding at either end rather than the more conventional 5%, and can only explode once. In the event of a negative open roll, there is a 1% chance of a "fumble," which always automatically fails.

Because the service roll is an open roll, it is possible to fumble and fail to apply the service even with a high bonus, or to succeed in application even with an low bonus. The [[Gift of Eonak]] can be used to mitigate the possibility of a poor roll by allowing you to make two rolls and use the highest, reducing the chance of a low open roll to much less than 1%.

The service bonus formula is different for each individual service, and is available on the wiki pages for those services. Your bonus is not visible in game, but a difficulty estimate for a particular service can be viewed before the attempt. For services involving spells, the estimate is accessed using {{boldmono|CAST}} <target>, while the syntax varies for other services. The roll itself is also not visible in game, but can be estimated from the in-game messaging.

Wounds above level 1 scars and spirit being below maximum will apply penalties to all service attempts. This should be kept in mind especially when using {{boldmono|BOOST ENHANCIVE STATS}} to improve your service bonus, as it may cause your spirit to drop below maximum.
