I have now started: Dan's OFFICIAL Angband Question Thread!

DISCLAIMER: I may sneak game development suggestions or requests in here or there, get over it. Unless you don't want to. Totally your call. Also, I tend to typetalk in a fashion similar to how I mouthtalk. Which tends to be highly erratic and facetious. Also comical if you have a dry sense of humor. I think I am hilarious, however, you are entitled to your thoughts and opinions.

also I find lots of minor bugs and typos. expect those as well

NOW FELLOW ANGBANDIANS, RIDDLE ME THIS:

[OOD Town drunk]

Having started the latest competition (#138) about 5-10 times now, I have started to notice something odd that I apparently didn't understand as well as I thought I did. (You can try this for yourself)

At level 2, my HP goes from 16 to 20.
At level 3, my HP goes from 20 to 33.

Are your hit dice prerolled at birth?? This seems strange to me. This leads me to all sorts of other questions involving the RNG.

But, for now, my Q is: ARE YOUR HIT DICE PREROLLED AT BIRTH?

[Antoine]

YES

Antoine.

[OOD Town drunk]

YES

Antoine.

Hmm. Ok, so, here is my new assumption: All of your character's level-up hit-dice are rolled at birth. These rolls being the base value for each level up, before taking into the equation CON Bonuses?

I suppose the more I think about it, the less crazy it seems. Seeing as how when you gain CON, you gain HP retroactively based on your level.

I believe I now fully grasp this concept. Unless somebody knows well enough to explain differently then I have guessed here. Knowledge is my homeboy

(Given my current choice in version, there will likely be quite a few 3.5dev questions)

Flask of Whiskey

It raises your spirits.

Nourishes for around 125 turns.


***Is this just flavor?? Or do I need my spirits raised in 3.5?

[Antoine]

That is for the rest of us - we need it to deal with your formatting!

Simply the results of unemployment. tooooo much time on my hands

What I was really asking was if there was any added benefit outside the measly 125 turns of nourishment.

Benefit? Maybe...

NOW FELLOW ANGBANDIANS, RIDDLE ME THIS:

Can't read, looks like advertisment of pron. Written while drunk?

Haha close, I was flying on red bull this afternoon and had just discovered the colors and such.

[Pete Mack]

@Timo--I think he had too many Flasks of Whisky.

[Timo Pietilä]

Hmm, seeing new colors doesn't sound like beverage you can buy from local markets. Maybe I should buy some Red Bull myself .

Should the priest be evil? I understand the idea of an evil priest, but I've noticed before that most of the holy-magic type enemies aren't evil. Such as the acolytes.

[OOD Town drunk]

Can anybody explain any details about stealth to me? It is quite opaque in-game. You are provided with nothing more than a vague description of your level of stealth, as you have for fighting and shooting, but with those you have information regarding your chances to hit and your damage output. I suppose what I would like to know most, is what a +3 (or + whatever) to your stealth represents more accurately. Does anybody know what your stealth points range from? I assume the lowest you can have is 0, what would be the maximum Legendary level of stealth? If there even is a maximum. If not than what number would a baseline Legendary be?

[LostTemplar]

every +3 to stealth make you twice as stealthy.
