PoschengBand Virtues

Does the virtue system influence anything except the magic realms fail rates?

[CyclopsSlayer]

Just fail rate +/- afaik.

I hate systems that seek to Force modes of play. Virtues punish players for all the things it makes sense to do, destroy a piece of loot, strike first, hit a sleeping mob...

I generally play with virtues off, as if nothing else they increase my personal aggravation.

There are a bunch of other effects, most of which I don't know/remember.
Off the top of my head:
Some virtues affect particular monsters' chance to spawn as neutral or friendly to the player.
Chance virtue improves the results of some random spells like Shuffle and Wonder, and I think Enchantment virtue increases the chance of successfully enchanting items.

Honour (I think it's honour) is worth paying attention to if you like cheap goodies from the BM. You want it as low as possible. The easiest way is to buy a heap of cheap consumables from said BM. Or just attack sleeping monsters if you have the stealth for it.
