(Not to worry, no spoilers follow) With memory instrumentation and hex editing across 4 complete parties of 28 changing characters, I've identified 11 races and 32 classes, 8 special abilities, 74 unique weapons, 58 types of armor, 40 kinds of headgear, 32 glove types, 23 different footgear, 88 potion types, and 58 item types. Beyond unique characters, each class and gender has its own image which also changes with age. Not even considering mapping, it seems as if a lifetime of experimentation would be needed to work through all of the unique effects. In addition, the translation can add its own special charm.Rangerous the Secondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-36487913695821080262016-11-19T20:31:46.545-05:002016-11-19T20:31:46.545-05:00...or "Quit when you're ahead" with ......or "Quit when you're ahead" with "Q"?Rangerous the Secondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-26037202894818875862016-11-19T18:59:38.682-05:002016-11-19T18:59:38.682-05:00Other things you could do with J:

Second, he must surpass the opponent`s AC with his WC.

That would mean I've mapped all the cities and I know where all the guilds and services are. I don't know if I can take another one as big as Cassida and Valvice."<br /><br />Good news - bad news situation here. Good news is that there isn't another city as big as these two. Bad news is that like you said in one of the earliest posts, the game has four cities and five villages and you've only visited 3-3 so far.<br /><br />"When I finally checked, it turns out that the dwarves were stealing hundreds of thousands. I lost a ton of money when I thought I was making it."<br /><br />Yep, they steal a percentage of money, which is automatically pooled to one character if you visit any shop. That's why banks exist. I opened a general account which is accessible from every bank in the world and dumped most of the money into it when I came across a bank.<br /><br />"here's some puzzle going on in this dungeon that is ultimately going to involve a paint can and a black box, but I'll cover that in the future."<br /><br />Huh? A black box is a combat item. The other item needed here is something else. Just think about what tool you need for painting other than the paint itself.<br /><br />""AC" is pretty clear, and I think that "active magic" is actually magic resistance (?). "WC," "DC," and "SC" would seem to be modifiers to weapon class, dexterity class, and skill class, respectively. In general, I think you want high positive values in all of these fields."<br /><br />Many items provide bonuses to the secondary stats (anti-magic, anti-stone, etc.) Active magic is the sum of these. WC is physical damage done, DC is attack avoidance and SC is attack accuracy.<br /><br />"Looking at the statistics sheets doesn't make it clear when a weapon affects a stack of enemies or when it does special damage. "<br /><br />The game calls weapons that affect an entire stack "melee weapons," visible on the examine screen. But special damage is indeed needs to be experimented with.<br /><br />"I assume the same is true of some armor pieces. Is it possible that my witch's "Icegloves" don't do some cold damage or protect against cold damage? Are Winwood's "Flameboots" just an odd name? Does his "Luckmail" not do something related to chance?"<br /><br />Alas, nothing special like that, they're just a bunch of random names. All they do is provide boosts to secondary stats, but the only way to find out is to compare before/after stats.<br /><br />"My assassin is equipped with Gord's Axe, which has a range up to 40 yards, but that doesn't compete with my warlock's Crimstaff, which can hit enemies up to 45 yards and returns if thrown."<br /><br />That's damage modifier, not throw range. Some weapons can also directly hit enemies at 2-4 yards (the Crim Whip reaches to 12 but the damage is pitiful)<br /><br />"Some party members get ornery if you try to double-check the first character's assessment of what a fountain does:"<br /><br />If they do that, you'll know the first assessment was correct. Low stat (maybe wisdom?) characters can get it seriously wrong, though Winwood usually manages.Zardashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856007425128087340noreply@blogger.com
