    You can confirm the squelching hypothesis by pressing K, which toggles unignoring. Any squelched objects on the floor should be visible with unignoring on.

    The behavior isn't limited to maze levels, you've probably just happened to generate more junk there. Either that, or there's something about maze levels that makes you notice it more often when it happens there.

      Player traps:

      Being told you can't set a trap consumes a turn.
      Earthquaked and destructed traps still count to your limit.
      Poison and ball effects hit the player. Actually fun and reasonable, maybe not consistent with mages and devices.

        "You have a dart of angband in your quiver. You have learnt the rune of telepathy."

        I doubt that is meant to happen.

        "Your longbow of Accuracy feels very accurate. You have 9 Rounded pebbles."

        Probably not meant to trigger for throwing.

            So this happened when you inscribed it for throwing?

              Inscribed it on the ground. Happened when I picked it up and it went into the quiver.

                So I'm going to operate on the assumption that the quiver is like the inventory rather than like the equipment for the player learning runes; I think the current situation is a hangover from the days when you had to wield items to put them in the quiver. I'll make this change in V as well.

                  I'm getting crashes occasionally when a monster triggers my explosion traps in Nan Dungortheb, but I'm not sure what specifically causes it.

                    I blame you.
                    I was browsing through some of the old threads and saw this mentioned in the thread for update 1.4. This was in reference to someone asking about a plan for an "open wilderness".

                    What's that all about? : D

                      Here is the latest thread about it, which also references older threads. Don't hold your breath

                        I keep running into trouble on the way to the first dungeon with getting constantly hit with a lot of confusion and blindness. Any tips?

                          Which dungeon, and where are you starting from?

                            Starting from Gladden Fields, on the way over to Amon Rudh. Maybe I'm overthinking things. Do I just need to stock up on potions that cure blindness? =p

                              Yeah, the thing with FA's monster AI is that it loves to blind and confuse you as much as it can. Stock up on cure serious wounds potions and maybe play as a dwarf (with rBlind) for an easier time. Carry a staff of teleportation and stay far away from black scorpions and nrulings, blindness is a brutal early game killer in FA.

                                FA1 Assassins

                                Wanted to play FA2 again and thought I'd see if problems new and old cropped up offline in the Windows version.

                                Ended up creating a Rogue, and while going through Rogue's innate specialties it occurred to me there seems to be some overlap with FA1 Assassins, so I wanted to ask: were the Assassin-specific specialties ever considered for being ported, and if not, could that maybe be done? It seems to me that Deadly Shot and Assassinate would be reasonably thematic for Ranger and/or Rogue, at least (either as an innate or a chosen, haven't put that much thought into it yet).

                                I took nearly two years to win with a single character in PosChengband.
