I have now started: Dan's OFFICIAL Angband Question Thread!

DISCLAIMER: I may sneak game development suggestions or requests in here or there, get over it. Unless you don't want to. Totally your call. Also, I tend to typetalk in a fashion similar to how I mouthtalk. Which tends to be highly erratic and facetious. Also comical if you have a dry sense of humor. I think I am hilarious, however, you are entitled to your thoughts and opinions.

also I find lots of minor bugs and typos. expect those as well

NOW FELLOW ANGBANDIANS, RIDDLE ME THIS:

Having started the latest competition (#138) about 5-10 times now, I have started to notice something odd that I apparently didn't understand as well as I thought I did. (You can try this for yourself)

At level 2, my HP goes from 16 to 20.
At level 3, my HP goes from 20 to 33.

Are your hit dice prerolled at birth?? This seems strange to me. This leads me to all sorts of other questions involving the RNG.

But, for now, my Q is: ARE YOUR HIT DICE PREROLLED AT BIRTH?

[Antoine]

YES

I suppose the more I think about it, the less crazy it seems. Seeing as how when you gain CON, you gain HP retroactively based on your level.

I believe I now fully grasp this concept. Unless somebody knows well enough to explain differently then I have guessed here. Knowledge is my homeboy

(Given my current choice in version, there will likely be quite a few 3.5dev questions)

Flask of Whiskey

It raises your spirits.

Nourishes for around 125 turns.


***Is this just flavor?? Or do I need my spirits raised in 3.5?

Simply the results of unemployment. tooooo much time on my hands

What I was really asking was if there was any added benefit outside the measly 125 turns of nourishment.
