As many MUDs are, we're in a constant state of updating our help files. We've recently added MXP and I love having the ability to link help files with the SEND tag.

What I'm struggling with is maintaining an RP perspective with our help files, while also including important information. How much mechanic / math type info do you guys include?

Here's an example of one entry in a helpfile:

Firewitch's Seance: Mysticism has it that this stance in praise of the Goddess of Fire, Firewitch, allows the user to regenerate themselves.


Users want to know how much it regenerates per round of combat, if the skill % affects the regeneration, what the base cost is at low skill % and at high skill %, on and on and on. We're happy to include some mechanic type information in our help files, but at what point do you draw the line?

Here's one with a little bit more detailed information:

Parademia's Bile: A stance to honor Lord Parademia by increasing the damage done (+5 base, +20%) and bringing forth his acid bile against one's foes.



Just looking for input on what you guys do.
