~~~~~01|Symbiant
~~~~~02|Classes|Symbiant
#####R=== Symbiants ===
#####GDescription
Symbiants live in harmony with all of the monsters that do not move:
the Mushrooms, Molds, Floating Eyes, and such. They can hypnotise these
creatures and then form a symbiotic relationship. Using other symbiotic
powers, they can even use the magical abilities of their pets.
Once hypnotised, the monster is placed onto the body, or "worn" in order to
initiate the symbiotic relationship.

#####GStarting Equipment
A Symbiant begins the game with:
a Dagger
a Scroll of Summon Never-Moving Pet
#####GSymbiosis
Symbiants rely on the partnerships they form, hypnotising creatures
and then "wearing" them: "I get by with a little help from my friends".
Depending on the monster, this does nothing except protect the player
slightly (the worn monster takes some of the damage the player would
otherwise) or grant some very powerful attacks and summons.
Their "spells" are used by the 'm' command; as their Symbiosis skill
increases, they automatically gain more powers.

~~~~~03|Symbiant|Naming your symbiote
#####GNaming your symbiote
For those sentimental Symbiants who like to name your symbiotes, you
can use the Inscribe command '{'. Inscribe your hypnotized symbiote
with "#named Fido" (or whatever name you choose, but don't forget the
leading '#'), and it will be listed in your equipment as "a Red Mold
named Fido", and the game will refer to your symbiote by name ("Fido
is healed", for instance, rather than "Your Red mold is healed").
