> 1) Food/weight -
Having the 'food preservation' skill, will help in
generating more corpses. Good eating is large bats,
giant rats, orcs, and goblins.
> 2) Spell/projectile aiming
You can only target one spell like a missile, and
you probably won't start with that one anyway.
> 3) I'm still having problems healing
My advice to any player in your position, is to play
as a trollish healer. This will allow you the best
chance to survive, and see more of the game. You can
make the switch to a more versatile PC later.
> 4) Dungeon SW of village - I always start here
If you start with the healing skill (troll healer),
you can head west, to find the main dungeon in the
game. I think this dungeon offers more opportunities
to power up your PC.
> 5)Character Generation -
I highly recommend setting a few configuration variables
in your adom.cfg file, after the novelty of the 'questions'
wears thin. Here is an example of some of the more commonly
altered settings:
--------------------------------
Base_Delay_Factor = 2
Fast_Missile_Readying = false
No_Book_Spellcasting = true
Questioned_Attributes = false
Sex = male
# Allow_Default_Names = true
#class = archer
#race = troll
#name = yy
----------------------------------
The options with an '#' before them, are the ones I like to
toggle, or alter periodically. If you like to roll a few
PC's, and keep the best of the lot, these settings can save
a lot of bother.
"Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."
