Proc A special additional behaviour, such as an extra drop or an inflicted status effect, that has a chance of being triggered by some action. When used as a verb, it refers to the additional behaviour taking place. For example, poisoned weapons proc by poisoning their target, while the infernal pickaxe procs by smelting mined ore.
Etymology
Proc was originally short for "spec_proc" (spec_proc is short for "special procedure") which is a term used by the original programmer of Circle-MUD, Jeremy Elson. It may have been used by the original programmers of diku-MUD as well. Special procedures in Circle-MUD are functions that can be assigned to objects, players, and locations in the world such that each time an event occurs, the special procedure function will be invoked.[1]
Prod Someone that relies on a certain weapon or special attack when Pking/PvPing to defeat their opponent. For example, "AGS prod".
