Blackguards: 4.2.0 to 4.2.1

[Capn_Carpaccio]

Ah ha! Bloodlust and Werewolf stack their extra blows! I'm now getting 8 blows per round (when I'm a CL 35 bloodlusting werewolf with dagmore (2 extra blows from that too)).

Shhh, that's a secret! Dont tell the maintainers...

My BG has a problem, of always being fed 88% to 90%, especially after bloodlust, and its a problem because I can't CCW (or heal) without getting the full belly penalty. Yes, my weapon gives me slow digestion, but that's supposed to be a good thing, right? I've totally sworn off eating anything, but its getting to be a problem. i can't tell what's feeding me! (I suspect its part of the normal healing BG function)... I guess I need to collect some mushrooms of purging, and use them in between bouts of bloodlust. (update: I "solved" it by unwielding the weapon, and resting 1000 turns.. it seems like my "digestion" is perfectly balanced between energy usage and the slow digestion factor of the weapon, so I actually don't need to eat.. and this might not be a BG thing at all -- but I've never experienced this before, so maybe it is.)

I'm sort of laughing about it, but its actually kinda bad.

Yeah, this is a universal thing that needs fixing.

Guess I missed the bit where digging holes in walls takes you to 90% of hit points? Funny that I just noticed that.

[DavidMedley]

I don't understand, mrfy.

I don't understand, mrfy.

Level 36, have 655 hit points. Rested so at full. Tunnel with weapon into wall, hit points drop to 584, indicator goes yellow, so slightly damaged. Continue tunneling, and they stay about 584-585. That's about a 11% drop from maximum.

Thanks to lag on angband live I can see my drunkguard "leap into battle". I move 1 square to the E then 1 square NW.

I just cast "leap into shopping" bought some stuff and continued on to hit my target.

Reminds me of Jackie Chan movies...

[DavidMedley]

Haha, yeah, same. Had a momentary inspiration for a new character class

[Diego Gonzalez]

Drunken master! And as a werewolf too. We need some vampiric strike in the mix...

[Diego Gonzalez]

Bloodlust mechanics are interesting, and surprising... I like it.

Virtually unchanged from Nick's design. Very quirky and fun! I would like to expand on it a bit, even, and maybe make those bonus blows apply to the blows spells.

[Diego Gonzalez]

That would be really nice. Thanks!
