Usage:  TARGET {player|creature|hazard}
        TARGET RANDOM
        TARGET NEXT

Targeting magical hazards will attempt to target the creature that created them.  Players cannot be targeted in this fashion.

You do not have a target.

Usage

TARGET {player|creature|hazard}

• TARGET {player} targets the named player.
• TARGET {creature} will target the most recent creature of that noun to enter the room. This displays as the first of that noun after "You also see:" in the room description. Any non-directed actions (such as INCANT or ATTACK) will now be directed towards whichever creature was selected. TARGET OTHER {creature} and TARGET {ordinal number} {creature} (example: TARGET SECOND SPIDER) will work if there is more than one of the same noun in a room.
• TARGET {hazard} targets a specific hazard for attack.

TARGET RANDOM

TARGET RANDOM targets a random creature in the room.

TARGET NEXT

TARGET NEXT will select the next target in the list in room order.

This command can be used while in roundtime.

TARGET CLEAR

TARGET CLEAR clears the target.
