Greater molochs seem to have a DV of 613566753. The minimum DV encountered was
65533. They have a PV of about 100. They seem to have 873 hit points on the
average. They seem to have an average speed of about 72.
They are able to quickly regenerate.
They are immune to ice attacks.
So far you have killed but one greater moloch. One kill on the average seems to
be worth 206956 experience points.
Met this one in IDC. Killed it with Thunderstroke, so I guess it did not really have that much DV. It was the only one I killed so far. Also seen one in DH, but didn't fight it.
No, I was never there. That moloch was on ICD level and that's where I looked at monster memory.
Tried looking once more now, and it looks normal (I killed 2 more meanwhile).
Code:
Greater molochs seem to have a DV of 2. The maximum DV encountered was 5. They
have a PV of about 100. They seem to have 850-893 hit points (872 on the
average). They seem to have a speed of 64-72 (67 on the average).
They are able to quickly regenerate.
They are immune to ice attacks.
So far you have killed 3 greater molochs. One kill on the average seems to be
worth 174576 experience points.
Maybe that level has some sort of DV penalty? And it fell below 0 thus becoming 65533? This number is too close to 65536 for it to be a coincidence...
You probably have nailed it. Actually a base DV of 5 e.g. could be lowered to -1 by the penalty for berserkering (-6) and there might be something else affecting this (there are lots of fiddly modifiers to DV in ADOM). The monster memory actually converts a signed value to unsigned so that would explain the problem.
I have now limited monster DV to 0 as the absolute minimum so this shouldn't happen again.
