So I'm working a comp64 ninja (dump, reproduced below) and I'm curious:
Can a ninja become "comfortable" with all the weapons in which he can gain proficiency in the hengband spoiler table, if he trains enough? Can I ever wield Theoden?
I'm dual wielding presently, and one of the weapons I'm uncomfortable with (a sabre). So my to_hit penalty is enormous. But I'm hitting things, and quite well - in the dragon cave. Is this normal? Will I eventually become a badass in both dual wielding and sabres?
Finally, I have a helm of darkness. It says it reduces my light radius by 1 - what does this mean exactly? I haven't noticed a cloud of darkness following me around...
Thanks and cheers, J.
