Editing Abbreviations and Terms - Alphabetical (section)

* '''Pat''' - Patrolling monster, more commonly called a "walker".
* '''Paint''' - Bloodpaint, the [[assassin]] squad buff that affects assassins, barbarians, and blademasters, giving them some HP for each physical combat attack (e.g. "paint me").
* '''PAtk''' - Physical Attack, usually a listing of a person's and/or weapon's physical damage range, may also mean that damage type (as opposed to a magic attack) or the gear add-on that adds to your physical attack.

* '''Plvl''' - Power level(ing), using tricks that allow you to rapidly gain levels on lower level characters, such as squadding with high level characters while they kill lots of high level mobs.

* '''Plz''' - Please.
* '''PM''' - Private Message, to whisper a message directly to a single player.  This is done by sending a chat message like "/name text", where "name" is the player's name, and "text" is what you are saying to that player.  Clicking on a name in the chat window adds the "/name " part for you.  The text shows up pink for people in your friend list and blue for anyone else.
