Well, that was a really really strong character with >1200 HP and ~2000 damage/round vs. dragons; and I think I also swapped in some items for that fight for extra speed and the like. (He didn't have |V either, though.) The problem with fighting the GWoP in melee is that you take a lot of damage just from its auras, so even if it never breathes at all you need to kill it fast.
Even so, though, the GWoP fight is nowhere near as unfair as the metal babble fight that comes after it... (I suppose you could try to needle the GWoP, too; at least you wouldn't take so much damage from its auras that way.)The Complainer worries about the lack of activity here these days.Comment

Originally posted by MochtMy character sheet reads "Your weapon requires two hands to wield properly"
This is an error, the weapon is being wielded by both hands, the problem is that dex and/or strength is too low
if you are riding, then one hand is needed to control your mount, even if the dump shows a weapon held in both handsComment

Originally posted by MochtMy character's armour was damaged by an acid attack despite having 3 levels of acid resistance, is this intended
Q: I have found lots of cool items, but the monsters I meet keep destroying them! Am I doing something wrong?
A: Elemental resists help protect your inventory. With one level of resistance, the chances of an item being destroyed by that element are significantly reduced; with two levels of resistance, the item will only be destroyed if you're really unlucky; with three levels of resistance the item will be safe. Watch out for fire, acid, cold and electricity in the early game, and also chaos in the late game. Sound and shards can destroy potions.
If you don't have the appropriate resist and don't want to risk losing the item, avoid monsters that might destroy it; or, if they only destroy items in melee, avoid melee and kill them with ranged attacks.
Note that the armor you wear will always be susceptible to damage from acid attacks - regardless of your acid resistance level - unless you have immunity to acid.The Complainer worries about the lack of activity here these days.Comment

I've never quite liked this mechanic partly because using a shield mounted is a thing, party because if you're strong enough to use a lance unmounted you're not necessarily strong enough to use a lance mounted and if you're riding a dragon I'd expect steering by command to work better then a set of reigns.Comment

How are those rods helpful, I thought they were useless
Beam of light doubles as a minor damage rod. Also, a surprising number of enemies are light-vulnerable.
It also helps with the occasional drolem or quddlywug.
Lastly, this particular character's preferred final setup had no telepathy, for some reason not even via a rod. (Maybe it was early skepticism towards the new telepathy, maybe inexperience, as this was only my second or third win, maybe I dropped the staff to pick up loot after felling J.) So having squares be lighted was vital, and since I was shooting disintegration a lot, beams of light to fill in the beams of disintegration were important.So you ride yourselves over the fields and you make all your animal deals and your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.Comment
