It's tough to imagine a scenario where i wouldn't wear bear spirit, outside of the absurd artifact scenario.

It's interesting, but overall seems rather lackluster. Plus the lever thing seems to encourage dragging enemies to it in case of the traps or bombs. Also, does the cage trap end after some time, or are you just depending on the player to have some method of escape? I think if the stair/door warning ...

This is true. Stat form does have extra bonuses for UC though, doesn't it? In my very brief experience with stat form, it makes playing an OP not horrible. It does come with rHubris-- though, which is what killed me. I was tabbing down death yaks, with 3 unarmed skill! The frost giant wasn't amused ...

And better availability! Plus they crosstrain a somewhat useful skill, rather than an almost totally useless skill. I could a long blade user using a short blade to stab occasionally, I cannot imagine a great mace user occasionally using a war axe.

Well, the lightning explosion is defensive, but they actively shoot lighting at you too. And they're faster than most characters. So the 'puzzle' is usually, can you kill it from far enough away, quickly enough, that it doesn't blast you down with lightning. Once it closes the distance, if you don't...

Eh, OpFi is more survivable than it sounds, but still, OPs are so squishy. If I was going to go the melee start route, I'd probably just go BE. The reason I keep switching is playing D1 - Lair gets really boring with the same class. Especially book starts... zazazaza is an awful lot like zzzzzzzzz, ...

Well, while berserked your HP pool will be larger, the poison will take from your inflated HP, then when berserk runs out, it'll deflate back down, so in the process, the damage you took while berserk will be deflated. I don't know how many HPs this will save you, but early in the game a few HPs may...

In this last game, they were not threatening, if I saw a pack I'd walk away, inevitably one would eventually end up next to me, I'd put a sticky flame on it, then continue walking away. Even an OP can take a hit or two from a blink frog, but of course you have to make sure you're not surrounded. On ...

Oh, shows how often I use potions of lig then... The only time i really use them is against early bee packs, and the last time I did that I couldn't cure the poison. The HP boost can also help you weather being fatally poisoned, which I discovered through desperate quaff ID when poisoned. I suppose ...

You can't drink potions or teleport. That's a biggie. But, if you can lure the hydras somewhere safe, it's probably not a bad use of lig potions.

Still, don't forget the #1 method of killing hydras with a troll: Large rocks.

Fakedit: Ninjad....

Well, the FE didn't have to be in melee range, the problem was that I didn't see the elephant until I already was in melee range. The mistake was bothering with sticky flame at all, rather than just blinking away and making it walk through a bunch of flames, like I dealt with all the hydras and regu...

In a lair 8 vault, I stepped around a corner and was face to face with a dire elephant. I sticky flamed him and took a hit for about 40% of my hps. I walked away until the sticky flame wore off, then cast another. Whack, down to about 20% hps. So I took a step away. The dire elephant was clearly tir...

6-8 evo is plenty for a staff, and since it enhances your magic as well as does a lot of melee damage, it's a great weapon. I wouldn't bother learning Mephitic Cloud. Orc after Lair should be fine - I'm not sure why you need a book shop though. For unseen horrors you can use Conjure Flame to restri...

Being able to decide exactly where a fight will take place is a huge advantage. Having to fight every single enemy on the level in that place makes it less advantageous, but you could sometimes set it up so you had a staircase nearby. I think being able to self-mark might be too powerful, being able...

I don't think there's much in the way of long blades, but I'll do a ctrl+F and see what turns up. It might not be a horrible idea to pick up a long blade, and train that, even if I only use that training to boost my short blade skill in the short term, until a better long blade shows up. The staff o...

OK, OpFE of Veh, in lair, doing pretty well(So far...) I would probably have preferred sif, but I found an early Veh altar, so I figured why not... I'd rather have the ability to generate more MP at will, but the longer range, wiz, and MP on kills isn't bad. The spells offered have been somewhat lac...

I would remove: -4 gods Gozag Yred Beogh Ely -6 backgrounds Fighter Wizard(I'm the best there will ever be anyway) Assassin Skald Warper Venom Mage duvessa (Dowan doesn't need his punk sister, he can develop his own fighting skills!) -6 species, Halflings Deep Dwarf Humans Draconian Centaur Tengu Fe...

A very annoying thing about being american is that we spell some words just flat out wrong. For example: labeled, or labeler. Obviously they should be spelled labelled or labeller, like the british do it, but no, in 'murica, we ain't got time for 2 l's. The english language is already wacky enough, ...

You should update to 16.1, 16.0 has a bug where player melee attacks do double damage. I won my only felid in 16.0, and I am wondering if I have to do it again in 16.1, otherwise my offline greatplayer title will be even more meaningless.

There used to be a class called priest. The main defining feature of this background, along with every other background that isn't healer, was to kill everything around him, using the powers of Zin (or Beorg for orcs). Sure, there was a little religion spreading, you'd spread zin's word and blind st...

Yeah... shock serpent are a cruel trick. They're faster than you, shoot lightning, and then if you hit them, they hit you with more lightning! Sometimes snake has way too many of these things, and some flimsy characters have a really tough time with them.

Hey! Nargalle may be a stupid orc, but it's not nice to tweak her knobs without permission! Thanks for the change though. It's quite annoying when Nargalle decides to be invincible forever. EDIT: here, 'tweak her knobs' was intended as a double entendre(or double dendrite, as the spell checker sugge...

Chaos is a great brand for a stabber, being able to paralyze an OOF or ALich is great, who cares if they turn invisible, and if they even can go berserk, it'd be a good thing. I don't see the draw for anyone else though.

I know... I feel like the rug is going to get pulled out from under me. Damn april fools day I don't agree shadow traps were a bad idea, I just think it's one of those things that sounded better on paper. I hate shadow traps in the game, because getting the equivalent of god wrath at any time while ...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I'll have to try them out. So far I've splatted probably 3 or 4 of each of the recommended op backgrounds(Except warper, sounds like a bad choice to me). I even got a wanderer halfway through lair. Then blink frogs occurred... OP just kills you for any mistakes, ...

Hi Guys, I am trying to get the all important title of offline greatplayer, and with the help of the double damage *feature* in 16.0, I was able to win a felid. I have since updated to 16.1, and I'm trying to win with the last race, an octopode. What is the easiest way to win one of these squishy sq...

Thank you Sandman! I really like to see how much I hurt those pesky adventurers with my randomly selected spells. I've even been practicing a new spell, it's really cool

My sister says all the weapons are the same, except some of them are bad. I told her she's a dumb fighter, and she just asked "What's a fighter?". What a dummy.
Don't tell her I called her a dummy though, sometimes she gets really mad!

Hi Guys, I like playing the newest updates of this game, it's always getting better (Except for those shadow traps :evil: ) I saw the 16.1 update, which made me very happy, I won my first felid game on 16.0 and now I feel like a dirty cheater. My question is, where can I find up to date trunk versio...
