What's your surprisingly lethal monster?
Sometimes I die to something which just leaves me staring at the screen in disbelief.
Twice I have lost promising (level 20+) @s to the humble energy vortex - did you know that it has a lightning...

It's separate, not the same curve. It reduces energy cost rather than increasing the rate of energy gain - exactly like multiple bow shots per round or fast casting.
This was my point, really -...

I feel like it is not really that much. In my last game I did level 46-50 in several rapid passes of 4900’ and 4850’. That’s a few million xp and I think it was six or seven potions of experience. A...

Found on the dungeon floor.
The item code tells you how the item was actually generated and ignores what happened since. So if it says “dropped by” a monster it didn’t contribute to your level...

I'm trying to get the hang of playing Gnome Mage. It feels like I have the early game smooth now - I manage to dive pretty rapidly to 2000', picking up bits and pieces of eq and a few stat potions,...

Idea - naming dungeon spell books
I always quite liked the old books which were named after famous wizards (Kelek's, Raal's, etc) but they are way off-theme, coming from D&D or who knows where. I wonder if a fun way to bring that...

Completely logical but also baffling for the player. We are used to unknown ego times always having {??} if they do not have a name yet... being nameless and yet without {??} is a strange state!

4.2.1 Paladin class review
My thoughts on the 4.2.1 Paladin.
I really didn't enjoy the start of the game. Not the very start, since the first 5-7 levels are like any other melee char, but the region from level 7-20. You...

YASD 4.2.1 Dwarf Priest

YAWP V 4.2.1 Dwarf Paladin
My second win in 4.2.1. I'll puy my thoughts on the new paladin and spells in the Vanilla forum later. The game started very slowly, after a few easy level-ups having decent HPs and two blows with a...
