No; devices absorbed by Magic-Eaters still function as devices, not as spells, so a +devicepower item would affect their power but a wizardry ring will not.

Are throwing weapons better than Slings for class with bad ranged capability?
I am doing a Hammermaster, and I decided to just use the pebbles instead of a sling. It is not bad, I get a decent range, and hit often enough, doing up to 6 damage, is not something to be discarded on early game, specially considering how little they weigh, but could I be doing better?Comment

The one case where I might deliberately plan to throw ammo is if I'm doing the Thieves' Hideout quest really early on some character with low HP and low offensive options otherwise, and every bit of extra damage counts; say, a squishy mage type with poor melee damage and low mana or no offensive spells yet. But mage types don't have the best throwing accuracy, so it isn't a great solution, just a better-than-nothing one.The Complainer worries about the lack of activity here these days.Comment

Couple of possessor questions:
- When posessing a novice rogue why do I get the spellcasting warning when wearing glove? The body has no spells?
- For most (all?) other classes wanted corpses weigh 4 lbs. But as a possessor they seem to weigh calculated weight (50+ lbs). I get this is probably to stop possessors carrying around corposes to switch to. But doesn't seem "fair", and really a hassle if you end up with two or more wanted corpses on same dive.Comment

Normal player rogues suffer glove encumbrance (i.e. their mana pool is reduced if they wear gloves without at least one of +Dex, +Md or Fa); and novice rogues have "rogue" as their possessor pseudo-class, so they inherit that mechanic. Note that while novice rogues don't have spells, they do have a mana pool, which they can potentially use with mutation powers or a mana-branded weapon.

I think I remember reading (either the help or a Sideways post) that Igors only need to submit the ears for a bounty. Is that right?
But no other race/class can dismember corpses.Comment

Hmm, Arrow crafters use Skeletons to make arrows, a corpse should/could contain a skeleton as well.Comment

Hi, I have noticed something which doesn't seem quite right (not sure if its actually a bug).
I currently have 1x see Invisible, so invisible monsters kind of flit in and out.
But I have noticed that using SHIFT-5 to centre the screen seems to re-evaluate whether I can see them or not. So combining L and SHIFT-5 (so no actual action) you can keep forcing redraws and eventually see the sneaky so&sos that you know are there.Last edited by budswell; January 4, 2021, 04:25.Comment

Playing an Igor. Just got
"Hands of Nar the Dwarf (+2)"
What is the bonus for? Other body parts usually say which stat its for.
Is it the same as when you find gloves (+1) (I don't know what that +1 is for either - had assumed martial arts)Comment

That sounds like a to-dam bonus, it would say (+2,+0) if it were to-hit.The Complainer worries about the lack of activity here these days.Comment
