[Announce] PosChengband 6.0.0 Released

[wobbly]

You also can't view ~ from the shop or home menu now either. Hit C for character sheet then h for home inventory.

Blue-Mages still don't have their spells showing up in the chardump. For example, this one courtesy of wobbly:

Not sure if 6.0.5 Force-Trainers are able to view spells in the chardump

[HugoVirtuoso]

The option to view your home inventory is no longer available under the '~' command. Why?

Probably because its capacity is now infinite (new)...otherwise, I don' know...

@GP--
Thanks. This helps a lot.

Leprechaun needs gold for other reasons than purchases.

What are you spending gold on that is making store prices matter that much?

[HugoVirtuoso]

If you can get to arena dungeon depth (50?) everything starts dropping 30k+ items & that's without the leprechaun's white aura. Alternatively the hydras in the swamps drop piles of gold or a couple of minutes in the mine dungeon (dangerous) with a wand of stone to mud.

These are expected to happen, imo. I'm sure a similar effect happens in the Mt Olympus dungeon

Also, don't lose turns when you are "too scared" to do something

Note that being "too scared" isn't a binary yes/no check to see whether your fear is too high. When you are afraid you get a failure chance on lots of things, including melee and devices: you roll your character's fear resist (and charisma) vs your current fear level (so more scared = higher fail chance), and you lose a turn and get "you are too scared!" only if this roll fails. Failing something one time due to fear doesn't mean you'll fail it every time. It's more like stunning, except the chance to fail various actions is not communicated as well.

Well competition #204 is a Craven Leprechaun.

[debo]

Craven reduces the three melee stats by 1, as well as CHA by 3--which is nasty for a character so dependent on gold.

[wobbly]

Do rings of wizardry not work for blue magic? It's certainly not displaying a damage bonus in the menu.

[wobbly]

Also, don't lose turns when you are "too scared" to do something, or there are 0 charges left on a device. Just don't do it and give the time to try something else.

You no longer lose turns for 0 charges (you probably need to update to 6.0.5). Fear resistance is pretty important in pos. Stack as much as you can & carry heroism if you're not at 2 or more pips (you want 3 in the late game). Not sure how the craven personality works, perhaps you need an extra pip?

I just looted:

The Lochaber Axe 'Hand of God' (8d9) (+26,+28) (+2) {Cn;Lu|F/*UL}

...on my berserker. It slays evil, demons, undead, and is flame branded. Score:484k

chem, what was the melee damage number on that? 2000?
