We have now implemented a server-side system that will automatically sip
health, mana, and/or bromides for you in an effort to maintain your
vitals above a set, customisable threshold. The system works as follows:

A new skill has been created in Discipline, very low down, that gives
access to the CURING command (there is also an achievement to completely
repay the cost of lessons spent to learn it and some!). This verb is
processed outside of the normal command schema and will totally avoid
(and ignore) aeon, choke, stun, or other debilitating effect that might
affect your character. Once you type CURING, your system will
automatically be initialised and you will try to maintain your vitals
above 75%. You can change these thresholds using the CURING AUTOSIP
command. If you do not wish to make use of the system, type CURING
DISABLE to initialise your system and then disable it completely.

Any commands sent by the curing system will be processed as if sent by
the end-user, and therefore /will/ be affected by aeon, choke, stun,
etcetera. If you are under a delayed-command affliction, any command
sent by the user will override those sent by the curing system, and no
further automatic commands will be sent until your command is resolved.
Autosipping will be paused if you are blacked out.

If the curing system sends a command and detects that the command could
not be completed, it may disable part of itself. For example, if the
systems tries to get you to sip health, and you have no health vials
available, it may disable the sipping of health. This is to prevent the
system spamming you endlessly. You can re-enable the sipping of health
with CURING AUTOSIP HEALTH ON when you restock.

The more astute of you may notice that the curing system's commands are
laid out in a manner that suggest further expansion. I will confirm that
this is intentional, although there are currently no plans to develop
the system further: FirstAid alone will fill this role for the time
being. The autosipper may or may not be developed to include
sparkleberries, healing scrolls, and other general or tradeskill
abilities.

As always, if you notice any problems, please BUG them.

Enjoy!
