Competition 104

The end is near! Astronomers have spied Star's swan song as she is shredded by a black hole.

I like the alchemy part, but the *ID* for recipe might be too strong. Keep *ID* for EQ only. Otherwise people use the *ID* for the potions and the spoilers for the EQ

Good point. I'll keep *ID* as it is for 1.0.1.

Later on: what if *Identified* artifacts had a +2 bonus to hit or to AC? Their listed bonuses would be reduced by the same amount.

My bypass trap skill is still 0, is that supposed to be the case?

That's normal. Only rogues, rangers and bards have useful skill levels in Bypass Trap.

I've been thinking about removing the skill. In Fay, these three classes already have the best trap detection ability, and bypass trap seems kind of pointless.

I maxed my stats almost exclusivly with the mixed blessing potion while at 0 int. Would probably have done the same without the spoilers available. The advantage of mixing those potions (Star got very lucky in the random department here) far outweights the exact knowledge of one artifact that you won't be able to replace for a while anyways.

Sounds like mixing chance has to be reduced at least for bad alchemists.

Congrats to ewan... you got slaughtered the least quickly! Fun comp nonetheless... looking forward to future Fay.

Competition 104 is now officially over - congratulations to ewan for the most uniques killed. Congratulations to Mikko Lehtinen too for reviving an old favourite variant in such an interesting way.
