I've made it possible for herbs of restoration to start appearing natively at 250 ft, though less commonly, for 1.2.1.Comment

@psi:
You still have unwavering voice for 1.2.0, it is called woven themes, so hurry
To me dual wielding smithing hammers smelled like an exploit right away (you know, how you are holding the thing you are smithing when you have two hammers to work it?). Given that most ridiculously overpowered chars are all smithing chars, I am really happy with the change.Comment

I think it would be nice if there were a couple of early (by which I mean, from 50') potions that give +1 to two stats and -1 to two, +str/+dex/-con/-gra and the reverse. There are almost no potions that help you out early on, the best you can hope for is quickness and those are too valuable. The minor stat potions would also work for restoring a little bit of stat drain and more importantly they would give sustains (useful for use-IDing).
Additionally, slow poison could instead give you regen for 25 turns or such, it would act similarly for poison and would be useful otherwise aswell.Comment

Should trolls be able to knock you back without actually doing any damage - seems a bit odd.Comment

Of course with lower Will this number goes up, but even at Will 5 it's likely to be less than 10% of rounds spent adjacent that lead to drained Str. Sure, you'll get unlucky sometimes, but these are a lot less dangerous than dragons, and if your strength is already low you can take steps to avoid getting drained lower.Comment

Note that it works the same as the player abilities. You can knockback without getting through armour, but cruel blow or crippling shot won't force a test without damage.Comment

Meant to pick this up before. Since you always roll at least a 1, and win ties, a score of 14 (or 4 and the sustain) will be enough. With, say, Will 10, you have a 10% chance of losing the point, if they choose the touch attack (1/3 of their melee attacks) and hit. That's probably under 2% total per round spent next to them.

Not sure what a player is supposed to do against cats with exchange places. I just end up consuming all my pots of quickness and herbs of rage when I get sucked up in those whirpools of death that seems essentially unavoidable.
Strongly considering removing the ability from them in the edit file. Cats were already one of the most dangerous monsters in the game in 1.1. Then this ability was just added to them without modifying anything else in their stats.
1.2 is a significantly harder version of Sil.Last edited by BlueFish; March 6, 2014, 04:36.Comment

Their combat stats were weakened. I guess they are a bit easier now for some characters (but substantially harder for others).
There are several ways to approach dealing with cats. Note that they have low Will, so any horn/staff/song will be fairly effective.Comment

Interesting. How are other people finding them?Comment
