This is an explanation of why the things in '+liststats not-allowed' are there. The list below is not necessarily complete, and '+liststats not-allowed' is not by any means an exhaustive list of disallowed things.

  • Note: Some of these are not in '+liststats not-allowed' due to being code issues. The list here is more exhaustive than on the mush itself.
