The main challenge of such a game would be sitting through the many, many, many iterations of "talk to Torgall - answer 'y'es to buy an ale - listen to the boring rumour - chat again" ad nauseam.

I'm reasonably certain that the number of marks per hit both rises with increasing 'difficulty' of the critter and falls with rising level of the character: a lvl 25 character (e.g. a troll) will get...
Three complete failures:
Grey Elf Weaponsmith, could do no damage to Ripclaw the Troll
Orc Monk, waylaid by a fuckton of undead in the swamp (just quit)
Hobbit Elementalist, ~10 fire bolts weren't...
I think the 'body part in use' means the game tried to create a piece of starting equipment in a slot already occupied in the previous character - e.g. when creating two elven rangers in succession...
An advanced adventurer has completely atrophied intestines anyway, and probably lacks an arsehole - because they'll be eating stomafillia only. Going from 1 point of food consumption to 2 means...
I got it to work, but i think i'm using the DOS binary. In this version, the naming of the character is the absolute last step of character creation. If at that point you manually enter a name of an...
Ah, i misunderstood it as a pointless "thou shalt not use music/necromancy" rule. Thanks for clearing that up.
While you can _generate_ slaves inside the arena (and aren't obliged to kill them to...
Have i missed something or is there a specific reason for forbidding slaves and pets? As far as i can tell, they won't break the arena: as long as you're facing a single animal foe, music doesn't...
Gnome Elementalist.
Three quick kills in holeinthewall, goblin vault right above the arena - damn, busted: 2800 turns.
Took on the arena anyway, won handily: the single giant spider i got set up...
Well, i would think that someone going under the name 'gut' should be an expert on colons; and duodenums and appendices.
Anyway, to contribute to the debate:
It's not the age that makes a cheese...
Wotcher - so Cockneys are amphibians? I 'ardly fink so, guv.
Anyway, the 'wrong' usage of the semicolon quoted looks perfectly o.k. for me, while the 'correct' usage is rather poor - while not...
If they all die quick enough, they can't be DQd for post-mortem rants. No wait, of course they can. I Am The Rules!
Suggesting that people who don't lamely leech their knowledge off the Guidebook...
Oh, i am. <g>
No, i don't actually suspect you of cheating, but pre-finals i would have wanted you thrown out - because people _could_ cheat in this manner and you'd set a bad example, albeit...
Hmm, from my games i remember i could get the climbing set much cheaper. It seemed to me that the dealer's price was usually set to whatever gold i first entered the level with. I could be...
Yeah, that should look great as final result of the tournament:
'The finals were decided by DQ of a noobfaggot.' [1]
I think that before the finals, Confucio would have deserved a DQ by _almost_...
I suspect you'll suffer a stacking crash long before the game crashes via item count overflow. And yes, filling the level with drops greatly increases the chances of such a crash.
Potion of deafness should work.
However, there is a guaranteed beehive /somewhere in the dungeon/ before the Banshee level. Can be anywhere from D:1 to D:20, i think, so it might take some...
No, the chance was gone with the first cat that went on your ':k'ills list. As the other poster said, there's a Pe-dependent chance for getting the message - for every cat you kill, until the message...
Killer bugs are endgame-capable pets. You just need a Plan B for D:50, but most of the rest, they can handle - undead greater vaults, earth temple, chaos archmage. I played a pet-centred bard once...
Nice to hear that it's laughable by your standards, but i don't even understand what you've been explaining right now.
Perhaps that's just my skewed foreigner english, but i thought...
Most of my characters would like to get the ring eventually (after all, it's not as though i'm sacrificing much exp. or loot by not killing cats), but only about half manage to get to dwarftown with...
Huh? Aren't moloch armours [-30, +50] normally? Even at deepest levels, they should only vary between +45 and +55. Ultra-heavy might be unbeatably bad for moloch armour, but no-one will wear it in...
As others said, the most efficient way to play bard is to make use of your high movement speed by playing hit-and-run early on. Use missiles against tough monsters, fall back on your acid spit in...
Well, that'd be the discussion of whether you're actually supposed to get 40+ stats in the first place.
Seeing as how there are rather hard limits on most "scummable" stat gain methods (corpses,...
Ordinary molochs, arguably yes.
Greater Molochs have afaik speeds in the 60-80 range, which makes hit-and-run against them a far shot from 'laughable'. Not to mention their gargantuan PV: doing...
