[Announce] PosChengband 3.5.0 Released

[Arjen]

If you mimic/posses a naga and use weapons, the innate attacks are moved to the second page. I made a quick mimic to try it out, I've a sword and extra attacks with insane crappy stats.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I found the extra weapons page but what I meant was, is that I don't actually get my special attacks any more. I can see the stats but when I combat monsters, I only use the wielded weapon.

I just get 2x hits and that's it. No crush, no spit (with a naga).

Or is that as intended?

Are mimics meant to get in-built restore life? If I'm drained by a black while mimicing I get the xp back when I return to true form.

@Flauterfiddle

Hmm, that's new. They did get those attacks in older versions, no idea if it was intended as a nerf.

@wobbly

They always have had that... It's a great 'power'.

Yes, this was an intended nerf

Thanks for the replies -- figures, I guess.

Still love the Possessor class, the fact you can play uniques is just hilarious fun.

[Arjen]

If you want to play with a lot of different types, play mimic. You can mimic everything you see, but forget the form most of the time a few turns after you loose sight of it (or kill it).

clarification: You can still use a possessed form's inherent attacks, just not while wielding a weapon

^ In the pre-3.0 days Giants used to be able to shatter AND use weapons at the same time...until chris saw me taking advantage of that once wholly overpowered dual-melee-ability.

Huh. I've been playing 3.5.0 since May, and it just now has a release announcement?


Edit: Derp. I've been playing 3.4.5 since May. Disregard me, I shall download immediately.
