Hey all, I'm pretty new to roguelikes and have been trying a TON of them. So far, FrogComposBand feels right. I'm trying to find a good entry point. I played a bit on beginner and wanted a longer game so I started playing normal mode. I'm looking for some pointers on some beginner friendly setups to try some of the different play styles.
So far I have a lv 22 Amberite Ninja. It is VERY easy going so far. I love being able to work in the dark.
I've tried a few others.. a Dark Elf mage.. Chaos/Nature. A few types of warriors..
Can anyone recommend some beginner friendly race/class combos for the major playstyles? Magic, Ranged, Melee, and any other types that one way deem newbie friendly.
What does the score value on gear mean?
Is there a way I can see which armor/weapon types my race/class can use? As a ninja I mostly just try equipping random stuff and hope it doesn't say "Icky Wield"
If I'm a magic user, is there any downside to standing in a spot and practicing spells to become more proficient? Obviously I'd have to watch for hunger.. but are there diminishing returns if I just stand there and spam a detection spell, for example? Or offensive magic.. can I level it by hurling spells at nothing?
I'm a little unclear on how learning spells works.. my chaos/nature mage for example.. is there anything stopping me from buying a spellbook from another school of magic and learning?
Lastly, the help section in frogcomposband is like... REALLY good. Best of any RL i've seen.. but are there any decent online references for this wonderful variant?
Thanks all!
