This character felt rather weak for quite a while -- even after finding Amrod, I didn't have enough arrows to use it effectively, and I was using a normal long sword until very recently. In addition, I had no SI or FA! However, meleeing an entire ogre pit (getting paralyzed briefly once by an ogre mage) yielded an amulet of the magi, and then the level after just gave Hurin, so things are suddenly looking rather good.

I didn't find anything particularly useful in the last eight levels -- in particular, note the lack of the last two spellbooks -- but the final battle still wasn't particularly hard. Because I lacked nether resistance, I had to phase door and heal a fair amount, but archery still killed the Witch-King fairly easily.

Well, nice work.

Do you think the Witch King needs to be a bit beefier? More hp, more speed, deadlier attacks?

Or do you think the problem is that archery is very strong, and that I should, say, reduce the damage multiplier for brand/slay ammo?

A.

I wouldn't give the Witch-King more speed or deadlier attacks -- I think that any more of either would make it difficult to avoid instant deaths. More HP would probably be good, though.

I also think that toning down archery is a good idea -- it seems even stronger than usual in comparison with other forms of attack. I think that this is a combination of getting more shots and being able to create large quantities of missiles to get brand/slay ammo. Reducing the damage multipliers for brands/slays might be enough.

Another comment: as you might have noticed, I feel that stealth, perception, and luck are relatively useless compared with the other stats. For stealth, this is because one should be clearing every level anyway; sneaking around to gather items isn't practical in ironman play. Perception is really more of a convenience than anything else, it seems -- faster pseudo id and level feelings are nice, but not particularly useful, and the archery bonus is relatively insignificant. I don't know exactly what luck affects, but it seems unlikely to me that it is worth pumping -- my high-elf winner had very low luck for most of the game and seemed to find better stuff than this ostensibly much luckier character (I was wearing a +5 amulet of fortune when going downstairs for almost all game). I'd suggest improving these stats to make them more attractive options...

On 20.7.2008 07:47 Antoine wrote:
Thanks. Yeah, I think those brand/slay mods need a look, and the Witch King needs more HP (as much as 50% more)?

I had always expected it would be hard to tackle him with archery due to his summons, but you seem to have been OK.

Luck helps you get arts. I think I may reduce the probabilities of artifacts appearing for low-Luck characters, even more than already. That will make it more important. It also can save you from instadeaths.

Stealth I don't think I can do much about, either ya value it or ya don't.

Perception not sure. It does a lot of things at the moment but none of them is critical. Probably the best is limited ESP once you hit 18/80. Any thoughts on how I could change it?

A.

Yes, 50% more HP for the Witch-King sounds reasonable.

Summons are not a big problem when one has beam teleport other. Have you considered making teleport other into a bolt instead?

Does luck affect item generation in ways other than getting more artifacts? I think it should, and as things stand the difference in probabilities isn't very noticeable, although I haven't gone to look at the actual numbers...

One thing that might make stealth more worthwhile is if new monsters on a level actually are generated asleep sometimes.

I think it is reasonable for perception to do lots of little things; it just doesn't seem like enough at the moment. Perhaps the effect on archery could be increased (especially the penalties for low perception)? Also, it might make sense for perception to help resist blindness/confusion.
