Hello!
I've been playing PosChengband for a few months and love it. I love that there is not a lot of information out there, which forces me to experiment rather than google things. I've been able to figure out the answers to most of my questions, but have a few that remain unsolved. I'm hoping others with more experience can help.
I'm also sure that by the time I start getting super helpful answers I'll have more questions!
Thanks for the help!
These are in no order at all:
- How does taming with capture balls work? Sometimes things pop out hostile and sometimes they're pets.
- How do iron spikes work? I can't figure out the damage they do but they seem to scale up as my ninjas grow.
- How is the armor weight a ninja can tolerate calculated? It grows with my ninja but I can't figure out how it's effected.
- What is infravision? How is it different from See Invisible?
- It seems that summons and pets killing things give the PC no exp. When is it a good thing to use them? Only as meat shields when you don't need the exp?
- For fixed uniques like Meng Huo and Azog, are there any penalties for climbing the stairs back up after entering the level?
- What are the penalties for failing quests?
- One of my main strategies typically involves getting a Morgul weapon. Are there any downsides other than the aggravate monster and curse?
- How is damage output on weapons calculated? I put on jewelry raising Dex or Str or with Slaying and can't really figure out how the actual dmg is calculated.
- Generally how do you prioritize buffs? Is speed most important? How do you pick between dmg vs speed vs resistances?
- When do I start needing to care about the rarer buffs like resist nexus, chaos, shards, sound, etc?
