In coding for a privately-run Shadowrun MUD, I finally finished my greatest work about a year ago. A simple perception code that checks against intelligence (using the Shadowrun system) whenever you look at someone. It uses the "conceal" numbers from the books, and remembers what you can and cannot see (on a given individual) for an in-game day.
E.g. when a not-too-sharp person types 'look troll', they get:
The trolls description is here.
The troll is using:
<worn on body>A pleated, armored jacket
<worn on legs>A pair of leather pants
<worn on feet>A pair of army boots
This works even if the troll has hidden items under his jacket (the conceal code again). Someone with better luck on their perception roll might see:
The trolls description is here.
The troll is using:
<worn on body>A pleated, armored jacket
<hidden>An Ares Predator II
<hidden>A hold-out pistol
<worn on legs>A pair of leather pants
<hidden>A NarcojectTM pistol
<worn on feet>A pair of army boots
<hidden>Many NarcojectTM darts
Thought it was pretty nifty... only took me about 2 weeks to work the bugs out, heh.
