Personal descriptions

I've made a small change that some of you have been asking for for a
long time - personal descriptions will now no longer have the obligatory
"and is" in the first sentence, following your race.

This should not affect your current description, but be aware your
description will be affected the next time you change it. The first
sentence of your desc will now simply be "She/He is a <racial desc>."
So, whatever you put in for the text in DESCRIBE SELF <text> will be the
second sentence following that line.

However, if you prefer having the first line of your desc to be "She/He
is a <racial desc> and...", you can still set it that way by using this
special syntax: DESCRIBE SELF + <your desc>. This will let the first
part of the desc you enter there become attached to the first sentence.

Examples:

DESCRIBE SELF He is burly and tattooed. Blah blah blah. --> He is a
tiger-like Rajamala. He is burly and tattooed. Blah blah blah."

DESCRIBE SELF + , burly and tattooed. Blah blah blah. --> He is a
tiger-like Rajamala, burly and tattooed. Blah blah blah.

DESCRIBE SELF + and is burly and tattooed. Blah blah blah. --> He is a
tiger-like Rajamala and is burly and tattooed. Blah blah blah.

If you notice any bugs in player descriptions (or dopplegangers', etc),
please let me know via MSG.
