Ver 3.09 to?

[Tregonsee]

But even though 'identify by use' is not working will the immunity to fire work (it doesn't say anything) or will I need the *Identify* to turn on the fire immunity?

[Derakon]

If *Identify* scrolls exist, then ID-by-use isn't implemented in your version, I'm pretty sure. There was a gap between the removal of one and the introduction of the other (during which you just used normal Identify for everything).

[Tregonsee]

Now if only I could find an *Identify* scroll, or will a fireball aimed at me will show that
Narya has fire immunity? Remember this is 3.0.9b...

Ok, now I got Aule, which is what I used at the end of my other winner character. However, this is 3.0.9b, so I cannot easily see which one does greater damage. Should I keep both? Which one should be primary? Here is current dump:

Because of cold immunity Eonwe as primary, Aule does more damage against pretty much everything though.

Where is a good place to score a Wrath of God?

From Morgoths loot obviously

So here is new dump:

I am surpised I have not come across any artifact shields, boots, or cloaks, but that cloak of Aman is pretty good... I was able to upgrade my ring of speed slightly, and got the fourth priest book. Where is a good place to score a Wrath of God?

[Derakon]

I thought 25d25 was pretty impressive, depending on the die rolls...

Min 25, max 625, average 325. It's not bad, but it's nothing amazing either.

[Timo Pietilä]

No, it acts just like an arrow or other missile - there's no area of effect.

Damage also is not that impressive, you probably do better with good seeker arrow and decent bow.

I have found a potion of detonations (3.0.9b). Do I need to be a certain distance away
when I lob it at a monster? I was thinking on saving it for Gabriel (who I have tried 4 times to kill with no success) or the Terrasce or other big unique...

I meant that if my savings throw is 100% or over, will I always make my savings throw?

Yes. If you are allowed for saving throw. Most things don't allow one.

[Tregonsee]

I meant that if my savings throw is 100% or over, will I always make my savings throw? In some systems, there is always a chance for a miss, like angband combat, or if the monster was high enough level, etc.

[Timo Pietilä]

Having a 'Legendary' savings throw, is there any circumstance where I would lose a savings throw? (Even if highly unlikely)

Losing WIS of clvl affects that. Legendary is above 100% though, you gain it at somewhere at Heroic. It's quite vague in 3.0.9

1.2 * clvl + 9 from Dwarf + 32 from priest + 19 from maxed WIS = 116 for clvl 47 priest. You have quite a safety margin already.
