FAangband 1.3

[clouded]

Sent you some saves to the address on the FA splash screen (infact I think I sent you two mails by mistake). Seems to me like they are not monster drops, because I see them in parts of the level I haven't been to yet.

I've just discovered this variant: it is utterly brilliant, deep and awesome. Thanks so much for all the nice features and most important in my eyes, the total coherence with Tolkien's writings.
I think I've finally found my last game, the one where I'll put down all my roleplaying youth.

Cheers to you!!

Enjoy it while waiting for Beleriand:

I'm pretty excited about Nick's announcements and can't wait to see the outcome.

I've just found a stack of 17 healing potions and a stack of 48 speed potions, I'm almost certain these are the amounts that I entered the level with.

This is an old bug, sometimes stacks also appear after destruction spell being used in the destructed area.

OK, that's interesting - either it wasn't reported, or (more likely) I've forgotten all about it.

I've had a bit of a look, and am still clueless.

Hi, i tried searching and didn't find anything, so i hope i'm not just repeating someone else. When i start a new game on the latest version and choose Ironman mode the game freezes up when i try and enter into greater danger (down staircase) to leave town. I tried it with 2 different characters, with asc and with old style graphics.

Ironman seems to work fine if i turn on the "No Wilderness" mode as well, i am playing on Windows 7 xp if it makes a difference. Thanks.

Thanks, (incredibly stupid) bug found and fixed in development. I'll aim to get a new version out soon with the fix.

Cool, thank you iv'e been thinking Druids are pretty well setup for Ironman games with there first spellbook.

[UglySquirrell]

I'm probably looking in the wrong spot, but is the druids martial arts damage affected by strength. Saw the bit about deadliness on gear just giving you a better chance at a higher damage attack, but can't seem to find anything about strength.

[LostTemplar]

Strength gives + to deadliness, deadliness increases average damage.

Thanks LostTemplar, one last question for y'all, can you wield a shield well using martial arts? or does that mess with it.

Oh, i ran into a bit of a bug, after my last death i went through the end bit, saw the tombstone, did a file dump and uploaded on the ladder. When i went to start a new guy with the same file it loaded at the last spot i had saved at still alive! I of course commited suicide but thought i'd let you know. Playing Ironman, no wilderness if it matters.

Yeah, shields are fine.

OK, thanks - I'll look into that one.

I'm playing a high elf rogue and when he cast Create Doors it creates a door right on the tile that he is standing on...I think this is bug.

Yeah, I guess so. I'll have a look at that.

[Fendell Orcbane]

Also the Rod Mantle of Shadow doesn't need any recharge time. Which is the only reason that my rogue is carrying it...so that might not be a bug?
