I stumbled on your blogs while trying to f...Hello!<br /><br />I stumbled on your blogs while trying to find a juicy CRPG to play, and with a recommendation from a friend, decided on this one.<br /><br />I've reached roughly the point described in this blog entry (a little before; I haven't seen the Danger sign) and I am getting obliterated by regular encounters. First a group of unrunnable slimes that I could barely damage, and after spending almost all my money resurrecting my team (save for the Priestess, who reminded me of oh-so-many times Kadorto failed), the very next encounter with a band of Orcs wiped me out.<br /><br />The experience to get to the next level is in the thousands, and I get about 20 per encounter with the things I can actually beat. I can barely afford food grinding that way with the meager treasures from the Catacombs.<br /><br />What am I supposed to do here? Frustratingly, there's no indication of how much damage your weapons add, and even if there were, my Fighter doesn't seem to be high enough level for even the next basic tier above Short Sword. My Priestess and Mage often seem to do more damage in melee regardless, though their weapons break around 15% of the time.<br /><br />The Priest magic system might be the most frustrating of all. In that second encounter Golthur saw fit to damage my Priestess into Critical for daring to try a healing spell while Weak. SIRDHE seems to have a roughly 20-25% chance of success, even with Copper.<br /><br />Any advice here? Should I try to reverse engineer the character creation and roll a Fighter with more than 11 STR? Anything obvious that I'm missing? I know about weapons breaking, and I've got some meager armor upgrades so my defenses are 13/10/5/5. Character levels are 3/3/1/3 heading out of the town, which assuredly is not enough but I don't know how to fix it.Tristalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-41073122111868175272021-02-28T10:27:59.147-05:002021-02-28T10:27:59.147-05:00I was going to make a post about the same thing. &...I was going to make a post about the same thing.

But it's all a bit obscure, like so much else in DHoU.<br />It could also be a comparison of levels thing, although I hope not, since that just leads to the tired old "clever things never works when you most need it, so just go for brute force instead".<br /><br />And unlike many other games (like for example Dungeon Master who also hid all numbers), DHoU has never been "dissected" by anyone, so much of the specific data on items, spells and monsters is still unknown to anyone but the designers.PetrusOctavianusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-35694126065043978432012-10-26T16:56:04.387-04:002012-10-26T16:56:04.387-04:00@JosephCurwen,
