Started life a s a Lizardman Templar, just got turned into an Angel, on the first level with altars, no less. Went for high Str to get the most out of Fencing, which did Wormy in nicely, and netted me that really really great falchion. Sure, he dropped me to 0 gold (thieves vs. Templars = very nasty indeed...), but for that, totally worth it. Not only can I get by with just a regular torch now (a real lifesaver considering the Templar's cash-flow issues), but it regularly blinds my foes with a regular melee attack! No need to waste expensive powders on most baddies.

Tengu are very very nasty if you don't have good escapes (phase door wasn't enough, and a Templar at this stage can't really afford _tele) and there are big armies around. Should have started chugging un-IDed consumables (staff, mushrooms) but I didn't think of it until I was already dead.

Tengu are probably nastier than in other variants because monsters come now almost always in groups.

What a perfect weapon for a Templar!

Re: identify problems. With most characters it's a good idea to start planning how to get MEM+WIS to 30 in order to get *Lore* proficiencies and to identify your whole pack. Circle of Knowledge is almost always a part of the equation with its +7 bonus. Ego weapons or torches that raise mental stats and blessings from deities are often enough to bring you there (temporarily).

I didn't notice at first that you didn't get two blows with the Falchion. Warriors have slightly a slightly better blows/weapon weight table, they probably would. Perhaps templars should often carry two weapons -- one for Fencing, the other against non-humanoids/persons or when you want to save Lore points for identify.

I've no idea how good templar is compared to warrior.

What does "of the Day" do?

Mikko: Don't the differing blows/weight tables make balancing weapons really hard?

Scatha, I feel that the six stats as they are now make it possible to have very different "builds", increasing replay value. Having only six stats would make equipment/worship decisions too easy, and that's the most important strategic decision in the game.

For some reason I don't find anything weird in how STR and DEX function. It's close to v4 combat, just much simpler. (The combat system is legacy from Ey, not my original idea.)

At least in my mind the mental stats are clearly defined, too. Wisdom is practical intelligence and perception, Memory is bookish and arcane knowledge and being able remember maps, Presence is your "mystical aura". That's quite close to how the stats are defined in modern D&D.

I can imagine running a tabletop RPG with these six stats. I would intuitively know what stat to roll in a given situation.

If CON is too important, it's effect can easily be toned town.

Would renaming a stat or two help you?

'of the Day' has a light brand (especially efficient against many orcs and other light hating monsters), +1 light radius, and it often blinds monsters.

There are two different blows/weight tables. Warriors and Shamans use the better one. The weapons that require 14 STR to use are usually the best ones for warriors, and I've paid special attention to them. I feel weapons are now pretty well balanced but it has taken me several versions.

Oops, I meant "having only 3 stats" in the first paragraph.

Oh, and I seem to have answered to two different questions in comments for different characters.

There are six dungeon styles, and nearby rooms are often of the same style. That's the reason for multiple altars. Seeing a cave painting is also a sign that altars might be nearby.

That reminds me that Scatha was asking about the frequency of altars, too. That inspired me to think of a possible mechanic that allows you to find altars or circles when you want to:

For your character, throwing powders may actually be a very useful tactic. Distract a tough enemy with a powder of Confusion, Blinding Flash and Ghost-Dark, then kill him in melee with powerful criticals.
