    Why would you start with Porter or Quick? They aren't starting talents. Alert is. So of course you're taking it.

    Treasure Hunter rocks, as per usual. May this thread forever shamble.

    The game I've played that felt the most like ADOM was FTL. It's science fiction instead of fantasy, not strictly an RPG or a roguelike (there are no dungeons or grid maps, combat is not strictly...

    I assume he meant he forgot to get it.

    To me this sounds like quite a non-trivial amount of work for nonexistant gain. But then I react to a lot of RFEs this way.

    Purifier does just as little damage as Vanquisher (and doesn't slay everything), so same deal there. But your character is on the kind of power level where these questions become fairly irrelevant to...

    Axe of the Minotaur Emperor is usually considered the non plus ultra. That's because it has a devastating average damage value of +56. Vanquisher only has +18. So while a critical hit with Vanquisher...
