 ==Description==
 Using #wipe is an [[occupation]] that removes the offending gunk from your face in one quarter of the time it would take to disappear normally. The tradeoff is that you are busy during this time.
-Attempting to use this command when there is nothing to wipe off will result in the message "Your face and hands already clean".

Monks are more likely to be blinded, as they can't wear body armor and take longer to reach a decent AC.  If you are playing a monk, eating a [[floating eye]] for intrinsic telepathy will only temporarily affect your alignment, so you can get away with it as long you're not also pursuing a vegetarian conduct, [[pacifist]] conduct, or [[protection racket]].
