Mood

Every character has a mood. This indicates a player's happiness level. Mood is affected negatively by too much work and positively by more enjoyable activities. When a character has a very high mood, periodic good events can occur which create either temporary or permanent benefits. These events can range from a few pounds under your pillow to a temporary boost to a stat to a permanent boost to a stat.

Mood Levels

The following levels have been observed in the game:

• "Oooh yeah, man! Life is sooo smoooooooth."
• "Hey buddy, you are on fire!"
• "What a mellow mood, man."
• "You are very happy."
• "You are happy."
• "You are in a good mood."
• "You are annoyed."
• "You are extremely unhappy."
• "You are depressed."
• "You are sorrowful."
• "You are very wretched."

Raising Your Mood

Tavern

Spending time with your townmates in the tavern is a good place to improve your mood. Buying beer for others is more rewarding then buying for one's self. Also rounds of beer are more satisfying then a single pint.

Church

Listening to mass in town raises one's mood, it is free and has no ill effects (such as being drunk). Listening to mass does not count as an action and can be done in addition to whatever job a character takes.

Drawing the card "Lovers" from the Deck of Divinatory Tarot Cards will elevate your mood by 1 level.

Lowering Your Mood

Mining

Due to the hard labor involved, working in a mine will negatively effect a character's mood.

Drinking Alone

Drinking alone in a tavern is a sad and lonely experience. Beer consumed while alone will be less effective in raising a character's mood.

Tarot card "The Hanged Man"

Drawing this card from the pack will reduce your mood to "You are very wretched".
