Yeah, but in combat, hp per turn is what matters most. Also, CCW removes poison, which CLW doesn't. The really useless priest spell is their version of neutralize poison. The only reason ever to cast...

Confuse and hold monsters are better in 4.1.x than they were in older versions, but I still didn't use them much. Mass sleep used to be melee range only (and thus entirely useless--or am I confusing...

That's correct, yes. Creeping coins are sized to what coin stacks would be in a selling-enabled game. Making the game detect whether selling is on when generating creeping coins monsters would...

Hold life helps with direct experience draining attacks. IIRC, hold life doesn't protect against experience loss from nether or time attacks. If experience drain is really a problem for you,...

I've downloaded the new nightly (81dfed316) and it does indeed run under MacOS 10.13.6, so I agree that the issue is fixed.

Perhaps. I'm encountering the same problem, also on MacOS 10.13.6. Attached is the log from running the current nightly (686384f55); I get similar results on the release version. To be clear, both...

IIRC, ring of damage only works for melee damage, whereas accuracy applies to both melee and shooting. A ranger is the one class that might conceivably prefer accuracy over damage, or perhaps stat...

If ANGBAND.FNT is really just a bitmap without metadata, perhaps it's possible to trick a graphics program into loading it? That wouldn't give you a font, but it would give you something more...

Recall or deep descent wouldn't actually trigger this problem because they trigger a status effect immediately, and the effect removes the player from the level after several turns. The identity is...

Yes, it's well understood that weapon "weights" in Angband (and D&D, etc.) do not reflect the actual weight of the weapon, but rather how burdensome a weapon is to carry. Even if they all have the...

As a general rule of thumb, you don't want to dig multiple squares in a straight line. The most common reason to dig multiple squares is to build an ASC, which requires a zig-zag pattern. The second...
