| {{{field|type}}}<br>Verbs will either be roleplaying, system, or special case. System verbs are verbs that work with the various systems (or mechanics) of Gemstone IV. Special case verbs are verbs that only work in very specific situations, may not have functionality outside of that situation, and are not tied directly into roleplaying or systems. Some verbs may be two or all three of the options depending on situation. An example of a special case verb is [[Verb:ABANDON]].

This is the "Verb" form. To create a page with this form, enter the page name below; if a page with that name already exists, you will be sent to a form to edit that page.

When creating the page name, the correct syntax is to utilize the Verb: namespace followed by the verb name in all caps, with no spaces before or after the colon, ex. Verb:MILK.
