Everyone ruined everything by actually changing the variant name to Rocketband. Please hand-edit your chardumps to say Angband 4.0.4 instead before uploading them.

The savefile link is broken. I'd like to play this competition, since the game won't take but a few minutes!

Aw, I'm sorry. I was just trying to be a good variant maintainer!

Good luck to everyone in the competition! I'll be watching with interest.

There is no savefile. Play whatever you want.

Who else has rockets? Does Sauron and Morgy have their own?

[wobbly]

All casters. May be worth investing in see invis for poltergeists.

[Pete Mack]

Try it and find out! Heheheh

[Gorbad]

So.... I found an actual hand weapon (Forasgil).

The rules don't say that I should or should not use it, and I will fall at the hands of a Novice Priest or Kobold Archer anyway, but I'll put it up for consideration anyway.

Should I keep wielding it?

Interesting. I thought that by removing all the base weapon items, artifacts would not be able to be generated. Guess I was wrong! Doesn't seem worth a rebuild over though. Besides, you'll probably want the weapon slot as a stat stick if anyone manages to make it to the depths.

Any early weapon would be a huge help to deal with those things that get too close for rockets!

[Pete Mack]

Discovering it is a bolt weapon not a ball weapon was an unpleasant surprise! You absolutely need to have Phase Door to back off in hallways.

If you could shoot over the heads of your enemies, then melee enemies wouldn't be very dangerous, now would they?

I've been busy, and only now started in with this. But I'm obviously missing something (?). I do *I* get rockets for the launcher? There don't seem to be any available anywhere ..
