Re: PC physical descriptions

A basic way of doing this is to first create a 100 word (or less) discription of said character or object to use with any 'Look' command. And for any further in-detailed views, use an 'Examine' command

This is also true if a detail view is warrented of a specifit part of characters clothing, physical appearance (including scars and tattoos) or any details lightly viewed using the initial 'Look' command, that'll only focus upon those individual traits. Of course, a player maybe offended if another views them with the 'Examine' command.

I agree that discriptions don't need to be really long. About 100 words, using the typing method of counting (every five spaces counts as one 'word', including spaces and puncturation marks) generally does the trick.
