[wobbly]

Isn't there a save against it, since a few versions back?

I think there's still a save against the dispel player move, even in the 6.1.x+ release

Link please, I've lost track of the updates somewhat.

EDIT: mspells1.c still looks unresistable except for three rare cases.

        {
            if (!direct) return (FALSE);

Explanation please because I never played Quickband.

Nothing really to do with the variant of the same name. Just makes the game quicker by giving you stuff.

@cold_heart - I found what I was thinking off & it's specific to mimics holding their form.

Has anyone else had an issue with improving weapon skills on a dragon? I'm not sure if it was an intentional change but I can't seem to get above +1 & I'm at clvl 18 & melee-ing around half the time.

It would be nice if it was called something different ("quick mode")?

I think the reference to Quickband as such may cause some ongoing confusion.

I'm just here to say that I'm glad that stuff like this is still possible. Winning is one to way find enjoyment, but I'll take dying in style winning every time.

There is an omission in the desciption of Morgana
It doesn't mention that she possesses the lethal ability to follow teleports

Does anti-magic help against blood curses

Anti-magic is very useful against blood curses

The ability to follow teleports isn't some separate property. Any monster that's able to cast "teleport self" can follow you, unless (in a rare show of mercy for PCB) it resists teleportation -- every monster in the game can be escaped with either teleport or teleport-other (or both).

Antimagic effectively sets your saving throw to a huge number, and blood curses check saving throw. So yes it helps.

There's a funny pricing bug in 6.1.0:

Honestly it should probably be made an explicit property, or explicitly stated in recall.

I thought it was, though, at least for the latter.

Maybe something got missed when chris redid monster recall?

[9] Lots of oook requests addressed. You can do a git shortlog v6.1.0...v6.0.5 to see the details, but the following is worth mentioning: Press '@' at an object prompt to temporarily stop using inscriptions to override label choices.
...

Thanks for hard work! Had this request also been given any attention so far?

What I really lack right now is to ability to send my army to certain location with a command like "go to.." - because in 99% of the cases my army is behind me and if I encounter some enemy, it will put all its rage on me first, and in most cases when my army realize, that I am at danger I am dead already. Would be great if necromancers could send their army at specified location, and it sounds kind of logical to have this function since you are in control your army.

Some sort of bug in spell skills. My yellow mage has reached master in 2nd realm spells that had already maxed at ![EX]
