Tables are semi-private rooms, usually located in inns and CHE structures. For the purpose of policy, tables are not considered as private as locked rooms, and certain standards of behavior are expected to be upheld.
The main feature of a table is that it will limit who can access the room via an INVITE system. A character cannot enter the table room until invited by one of the characters already in the table room (entire groups can also be invited).
All table rooms have a physical table in the room description and a number of verbs will interact with it. Most of these are applicable only while sitting down.
