A protected persona cannot attack or be attacked by another player. This makes it ideal for exploring and socialising. However, there is a penalty in that protected personae cannot reach wizard/witch level (unless MUD has been specifically set up to allow it, which is rarely the case). Instead, when they obtain 102,400 points, they lose their protected status and two thirds of their points (because it's much easier to score points as a protected persona). To become a protected persona, issue the command VOW in the Tearoom. To cease being one, UNVOW from the Tearoom (NB: you will still lose two thirds of your points!).

The tables which follow list all the levels in the game, and the points required to achieve those levels.
