I snatch up all the *Destruction* scrolls I can find. They have a 0% fail rate, and are much more common than staves of *Destruction*, so I like having them as a panic button. Otherwise yeah I ignore...

I *love* nuking with wands as a Rogue. Really makes me feel like a warrior-mage hybrid, while also feeling like a crafty fighter who will use any tool available to them, which is what I think when I...

The Thancs are great for throwing as well. My Blackguard especially can get a lot of mileage out of throwing a Thanc or two at the start of battle.

So, some weapons have the "blessed" property. Paladins and clerics get additonal combat bonuses when they use a blessed weapon.

As far as your larger point, I can understand it feeling bad if you...

To be clear, I mostly agree with you. But I did want to address your response here.

One thing I like about Sil that maybe Angband could draw inspiration from is how different the weapon types feel. A short sword feels very different from a spear, which feels very different from a...

Honestly, Im really glad they decided to pick an era thats basically a giant gaping hole in Middle Earth lore. It gived them room to do their own thing. I would fly into a frothing rage if they say,...

I played it some, in particular the Middle Earth campaign. In addition to the virtues, which I couldn't stand, I also didn't like how you couldn't turn off identification (I barely find Rune-based...

I don't really like the idea of feelings (after all, sometimes what you REALLY need is a stack of CCW, and level feelings can't really help with that). However, I'd be down with a very vague item...

I feel like this could be reasonable if we tweaked Morgoth's AI so that he didn't always know immediately where the player was and made a beeline for them. Maybe he spawned awake and searching, and...

Heck yeah I do. Even changed the low HP warning to trigger at 50%.

Hence why I think if we want "friendlies" they should just be enemies that take longer to wake up. Basically, they are more willing to tolerate your presence before trying to brutally murder you.

Also, monsters tend to move towards you a lot when they are at a distance, so they have a lot of wasted turns.
