r1487 - Stats values randomly exchanged.

[marteo]

Hello,

Here are two dumps of the same character. The second one is strictly posterior to the first one, with a 10000 turns interval between the two.

What kind of monster, scroll, potion did exchange the stats this way ?

Thanks

Edit : I'm absolutely certain that it is not a potion or a scroll... I'm always extremely carefully in this domain. A monster... or a bug must have done this.

Something hit you with a nexus breath weapon--probably a nexus hound.

Nexus has a bunch of random effects, including teleportation and stat swapping. There is no way to undo stat swapping--the only way to "fix" your character is to find a lot of strength/intelligence potions.

"It breathes nexus."

This is why nexus resist has always been far too deep (problem dates back to the introduction of nexus hounds).

Okay, thank you.
I had encountered a few nexus hounds between the dumps.
I'll reconsider the importance of nexus resistance.

The usual solutions for nexus are boots of stability, Collanon (a cloak), and Isildur. There are others, but these are all fairly common.
