I've come back to Angband after some time, love v4 so far and all the streamlined changes. Been trying to kill M as Mage with all races before the class/magic update, done 5 races so far, have to say it's *much* easier to win the game in a consistent way.
That said, my recent run with Gnome Mage ended quite abruptly. Was at ~1500', walked into a trap as I always do, then went from 112 hp to -201 hp from an ancient mechanism. Is it supposed to deal so much damage? Been playing since the v2 days, and I've never died so spectacularly in one hit to a trap before. I consider myself a relatively fast (real time) / careless / reckless player, I macro all my spells, spam keys constantly and run all over the dungeon, I'd find it annoying if I have to slow down and parse the traps in my path, tiptoeing around them if they can kill me in one shot.
