Re: Portal Storm / Vortices - Translocations:9

Some quick thoughts for highish level Tloc skills an area affect teleport other - would be good for clearing paths to staris if they have got swarmed, or to some other object. Would also scatter enemies so that they could be picked off one by one. Create rift - single square effect with a duration (...

That probably gives it the best shot it is going to get. I like the idea, but I don't give it much of a chance. ⋅ As was suggested earlier, heating food has a (Small!) chance of drawing natural monsters to the area. It should only effect those already close by- maybe within ten tiles? They...

Yes. You can also get "consumed in a roaring column of flame." if you get more than 1 piety at once.

is it similar for the Abyss message (pops into the Abyss=0, some effect as he pops into the abyss=1)?

Re: Anyone else **really** suck (but keep coming back for mo

There are 70 users with more than 100 online games and a top score of under 5000, and although some of those are special purpose accounts (e.g. blinkrobin) that gives some reasonable benchmarks for this question.

In short - you are not alone.

Re: Player Stats, Skills, and Weapon Effectiveness

It may be helpful to consider the statistic

Players killed by monster/monsters killed by player

from a design point. This gives a measure of the relative threat of the monster. You have the stats from the morgue files, I don't know how hard parsing it all would be though.

When playing webtiles, I found that i am unable to wait with numpad 5 which on normal tiles allows me just to stand still for a turn. the response that i get is that there is X monster here (which is what I would expect from the non numpad 5 which waits multiple turns). is there another key to wait?...
