Competition 87

Nick · May 8, 2010, 08:02

Competition 87 is now available from the competition page; it is a dungeon-only FAangband 1.1 Beorning Warrior.

Note that competition 86 only has a few hours to run.

Shouldn't dis-connected stairs be turned on?

Nick · May 10, 2010, 05:48

There is no disconnected stairs option in FA. Until later in the dungeon

Just worth mentioning too - this character has decent (but not quite complete, I think) monster memory, and also a fair ego-item memory. ID-by-use in FA requires an ego type to have been (spell) ID'd by the character or an ancestor before it can be recognised by use.

Re: Sensing: {Dubios} is always negative plusses nothing else right?

edit: Also there seems to be a problem with the ladder. The first three share place 0

Yes. For strong pseudo-ID (including warriors) dubious means minuses, good means pluses, perilous means ego with some drawback, excellent means ego with no drawback, special means artifact.

Fixed now.

Hmm a ring gives me prevent teleport and random teleport but doesn't prevent the random teleport?

edit: Oh more questions: I read that *charisma* is used to increase stats to higher than 18. What happens if I drink one before that?

Before you reach 18 for a stat the *stat* potion will work as a normal stat potion, sometimes it gives +2 though (at least the *charisma*), but I'm not sure how frequent that is.

It just acts like an ordinary !Charisma.

Another thing that's worth mentioning is that at the bottom of most of the dungeons (Amon Rudh, Nargothrond, Nan Dungortheb, Tol-In-Gaurhoth) is a guardian (you will get a message when you arrive on that level). Fighting the guradian is optional, but if you go 'down' from that level, there will be no way back up (apart from leaving your recall point there, or walking down the stairs again).
