If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Summon shadow creatures and OOD timer!

I just learned something rather interesting. Summon shadow creatures takes into account the OOD timer for your level. So, for example, if your mummy that spends 5000 turns overall when carefully shouting and waiting at corners on a very large D:1 and encounters an OOD boggart... that OOD boggart will be summoning two-headed ogres and packs of ugly things (complete with very ugly things) and the like.

Ow!

Tested wizmode, the same holds true with player summoned shadow creatures.

Alas, I doubt there is a practical use for this feature.

Re: Summon shadow creatures and OOD timer!

I analyzed source code for Shadow Creatures yesterday and now I am not sure what's better - high HD creatures are timed out really fast (in 1 turn?)

// Choose a new duration based on HD.
int x = max(mons->hit_dice - 3, 1);
int d = div_rand_round(17,x);
if (scroll)
d++;
if (d < 1)
d = 1;
if (d > 4)
d = 4;
mon_enchant me = mon_enchant(ENCH_ABJ, d);

If I recall, an abjuration duration of 1 (what I'm assuming that number is) is more like 7 turns or so ,same as Summon Hydra.
