As a ranger (well, as any class, but rangers in particular), you should try to keep a nice fat stack of Phase Door scrolls on your person at all times. If a monster hits you and drains a stat,...

Much of the goal of the "new" system is to make monsters that drain stats much more frightening. As long as your stats don't get seriously badly drained (like -5 or more), you should still be able to...

Pyrel has the freedom to maintain multiple independent timers for each effect; it may well be worth trying to replicate that in Angband. It's pretty much a prerequisite for the temporary-stat-drain...

If you want a serious suggestion for what to do with stat drains, I'll put my suggestion out there again: make drains severe, stacking, and limited in duration. So when you get stung by a Giant Red...

You, uh, do remember the brief period in which the game had Scrolls of Repairing which did exactly that? They got removed in the next version because the community went "Wait, no, this is dumb."

You're being deliberately obtuse, and I can just tell that this is going to turn into yet another pedantic and horribly sloggish argument thread, so this is going to be my last post here.

This logic is faulty for the same reason that argument we had about no-selling being optional ("If you don't like selling things, just don't take them back to town") is faulty. People -- lots of...

The difference being that in the old system, many players always returned to town when they got drained, no matter how badly, because it would be playing suboptimally to proceed with...

The current system works fantastically, so long as you have a limited supply of restorables, but never fewer than you actually need. The reason this works well is that the player is encouraged to...

You're missing the silent majority of people who like the change. :)

More seriously, anytime the optimal playstyle is to townscum for stat restoration, we have a problem. That problem could...

I think the idea is that you learn which enemies can drain you, and then you do your best to avoid them. Landing in a room with a bunch of Time Hounds is lousy luck though. Ideally you'd have...

How often do you find yourself so badly drained that you're unable to be remotely effective with your normal gear? I think the goal is that this should happen less often than the rate at which you...

Well, it has that effect for me! Certainly I think that stat-draining monsters are perceived as more dangerous by most players now that restoration is not so readily-available. How you respond to...
