why do passwall monsters forget they have passwall when fleeing?
unber hulks, for example, when fleeing they stop digging but rather follow the map.
on the same note, i like passwall but feel mobs should take time to passwall. it's a scary ability as it is already.
Polyphaemus doesnt have passwall, yet he can earthquake and lock himself in rubble. Chronos probably should pw too. And, CHRONOS doesn't breathe time?? Ok ok never mind, he's too strong already.
Tensener as mage? yes or no?
I almost always ditch Tensener's when playing as mage in favour of a inventory slot. There's only elemental brand (useless once you get shots of slaying) and greater recharge, and i'd rather use Rift than wands of annihilation. (does GR work better on stacks than it does on individual wands?)
Also, i'm greatly upset that Tensener's doesnt have Berserk, which is the one D&D spell that it was good for (and that mages could actually use).
I feel that Mages should have the enchant spells instead of rangers, too. THEY ARE LITERALLY MAGES - THE ONES WHO ENCHANT STUFF.
is ESP overrated?
sure at the beginning it's great, but when you can spam detect spells with almost no mana? also, leaves you the head slot to get more useful stuff, like stat boosts.
How much HP do mobs regen each turn? how does that work?
rods of speed should have a lower power rating OR recharge faster. they are too rare to be used against morgoth, !Spd still more important, and by the time you find one, you already have a stack (or spell, obviously).
tbh there are a ton of items that have badly placed depth, and by the time you find them, there's something better. Rings of light???
for example, in my entire gaming career in V, i've gained stat points from *Enlight exactly ONCE.
(didnt this used to be "self knowledge" back in the days?)
i'd love to know the stats of things like "staff of power vs staff of dispel evil" and "scoll of holy word vs scroll of bless" etc.. like, how much damage do they do, how much hit bonus, and so on.
these are (some) random thoughts i have had over the years but never thought they were important enough to create a thread for them individually.
