     This is the last crack I plan on ever doing. I am going to become a
programmer and quit piracy forever.

               player with the highest Dexterity when examining potentially

* Special Note: Talking with the people found in the game is one of the most
important features of Ultima IV to master. It is virtually impossible to solve
thy quests without talking to virtually all people in each towne. Each person
with whom thou dost Talk is capable of full conversation. They can be asked
about their "Name," "Job," and "Health." You may "Look" again at their visual
description. From this information thou shouldst be able to discern what else
they might know, hinted at directly by use of the precise words in the
conversation. E.g., if thou were to ask Dupre about his "Job" and he were to
respond "I am hunting Gremlins," thou might think to ask him about "Hunting" or
"Gremlins" - about either of which he might offer some insight.

     Each of these people might ask of thee a question as well; be sure to
answer the question honestly, for dishonesty will be remembered and not reflect
well upon thee for the rest of the game. Often thou shalt not know what to ask
a townsperson until thou hast been told by another: E.g., Iolo the Bard might
tell thee to ask Shamino the Ranger about swords. Even if thou hadst met
Shamino earlier thou wouldst have to seek him out again if thou dost wish that
knowledge.

     Some of the people that thou shalt meet may be willing to become thy
travelling companions. If thou dost wish for a character to become a player in
thy party, thou must ask them to "Join" thee. 'Tis most wise to strengthen thy
party as rapidly as possible, up to the seven companions thou shalt need to
complete the game. When thou art through with a conversation, then speak the
word "Bye" as an accepted means of politely ending thy conversation.

     Be sure to keep a journal of thy travels! Many of the clues to solving the
quests of Ultima IV are contained in the various and diverse conversations thou
might have with the various townfolk. It would be next to impossible to solve
this game without some means of referring back to prior conversations held
during play.

     Be sure to thoroughly explore the cities and townes! Many of the quests
within Ultima IV are contained entirely within individual cities. 'Tis wisest
to spend a great deal of time seeking out the answers that lie hidden in each
one of the various townes of Britannia, before moving on to another.

     Magical ability is directly related to the Profession and Intelligence of
thyself and thy travelling companions. Magical strength is twice the
intelligence of the spellcaster, with potential modified by profession. The
enchantment potential of the various professions is:

Mage - full                     Ranger - One half
Druid - Three fourths           Tinker - One fourth
Bard - One half                 Fighter - None
Paladin - One half              Shepherd - None
