The COUNT verb has multiple uses. It can be used for roleplay, to allow a character to count on their fingers, or display numbers to another character. It can be used to count characters in a string, which may be useful to players at merchants to keep their alteration ideas in line with the ALTER verb, particularly for the 15/15/15 rule.
