Hmm, in my 'generate starting equipment once for every race/class combo' quest my high elves always got an iron ration, while my grey elves always got elven bread. It may be racial after all...

(Bow-wielding hurthling barbarians)


Always being prepared for battle is most barbaric, and fighting with makeshift weapons like thrown pebbles would be seriously un-barbarian.

Anyway, bows...

I might have overlooked it in the guidebook, but anyway:

Some classes have different amounts of starting gold: as is commonly known, merchants get _a lot_ of gold (5x normal?), monks none (unless...

My experience suggests this isn't tied to monsters, but rather to areas - hostile mobs in the Pyramid, Dwarven Crypt, Darkforge, elemental temples etc. won't trigger traps, ever - unless they panic....

Monks _can_ start the game with gold: they just have to take wealth talents. A monk who went all the way to Heir got something around 50 gold, one who took 'Wealthy' and 'Very Wealthy' started with...

That's because confusing a monster is one of the methods that make them unconditionally hostile. Others are shooting them with missiles, wands or spells and successful use of Ventriloquism (usually)....

In addition, arena opponents and Keethrax' animals won't be affected; i think hive creatures are also immune after you got the 'strange vibrations' message. Animals can still be pacified with music,...

Take a look at the tutorial on the other thread. Torches, preferably multiple ones, make the starting scenario much less dangerous.

Necromancers have an additional way of handling cats in the arena - yes, create a slave! The only other method of getting a companion in there should be a scroll of familiar...

Improved Fireball doesn't cost the 30pp base shown in the spell list, but generally quite a bit more: you have to expend extra pp for the distance the fireball travels before exploding, the further...

You all know that baptism of fire/Burning Hands makes the target aware of an invisible caster, right? And it stands to reason that Dispel/Destroy Undead does the same. But interestingly ...

Bless...

In one game, i deliberately tried this out - neither the open levers nor the open chaos gate are affected by wands of destruction. I would have thought that the latter might give a nasty 'the world...

If you bring the cute dog back to Terinyo, then attack it there, children and goodwives will fight the dog. If you kill the dog and give its corpse to the little girl, she'll just be sad and you can...

If you talk to Thrundarr after successfully closing the gate, you'll only get a short congratulatory message, no prompt for a conversation item. If you've postponed the reward/achievement of dwarven...

Bit of a late reply, but i only bothered to verify it over the week-end:

Earthquake seems to 'hit' a random pick of squares, which are turned into ordinary floor with rocks on top. Mostly, this'll...

I do hope that this is widely known, but i've never seen it hinted at in guidebook or strategy guides:

You can enter the blue dragon caves without taking Sharad-Waador's quest. Simply hit '>'...
