Mental states

Your mental state is your current frame of mind, and how clearly and realistically you view your surroundings. Mental states can be affected by prolonged combat, or poison. If you are affected by one of the above for a period of time, your mental state will begin to deteriorate, and you will not view your surroundings as they truly are. You may begin to hallucinate, or become too lethargic to function, and your general abilities will be affected. In extreme cases you may collapse from exhaustion or enter a delirious coma.

To restore your mental state, you may need to rest (resting and sleeping will speed your recovery), cure whatever poison afflicts you, etc. Your mental state is shown by the text line in 'score' which describes your state of mind (You feel great, etc.) Changing your deity affects your mental state.
