Hellband 0.8.8 Wish list

[konijn_]

Seeing is how my last 2 winners were basically invulnerable but dealing damage to the real nasties was like trying to carve mt rushmore with a flathead screwdriver. With all the sweet weapons in the game you should consider adding dual wielding. Maybe only to pure warriors or something.

and swap some of the pouch slots for a quiver ;p

Dual Wield ->
Yeah, maybe, would you agree that this only becomes necessary around character level 40 ? I would give this to warriors and all knights. I would however swap out missile weapon for secondary weapon, not the shield.

Quivers ->
Quivers eh ? Hmmm. I will check the Angband solution for a quiver and see.

Winners ->
Hey, could you upload a filedump of those winners on oook, I am curious as to how people are equipped when not using wizard mode.

What do pouch slots do, exactly? I haven't seen anything about them in the help of any variant I've played that has them. Faster reading/quaffing/aiming/etc, I assume?

Yes, much faster aiming, especially when fighting scary guys you should consider putting your rescue items in there. I also think fireballs cannot burn scrolls in the pouch, lightning cannot destroy wands/potions in the pouch.

If its not too hard, I might replace one of the pouches with a quiver.

If Hellband is based on anything older than vanilla 3.1.0 than it'll likely be easier to get the quiver from NPP (That's where I got it from for DaJAngband).

Hmm, as the mirror mirror post is not exactly wildly popular and 'all' the references point to DaJAngband, your comment is still very valid
