All that the crowd saw was that you cast a spell at the cat and suddenly there was no cat any more. How were they to know you used a teleportation spell and not a disintegration spell?

Not in my experience. I find that once I pass a certain point, I pretty much never have a shortage of healing potions and other items that I can use as a panic button. And if the worst comes to the...

I'd already completed the tower and I had better gauntlets. They were an obvious choice for ratling fodder.

I would definitely recommend getting the water orb before the fire orb. For one, the water temple is a fair bit easier than the ToEF, and it's generally a good idea to do easier things first,...

I'm on a fairly new computer, with a fresh install of ADOM, so I only have 36 deaths in my high score table. My highest 5:

3. Level 21 drakeling duelist, killed by the demented ratling in the ogre...

Various extremely marginal uses where any other item would work just as well (or better, often).

* Wield it in the weapon slot while attacking a grey ooze or ochre jelly to avoid taking damage for...

Wands of poison ae especially nice because they are, as far as I can recall, the only bouncing bolt that will do absolutely guaranteed zero damage to the PC (provided you have poison resistance)....

I just had a black wizard summon ice vortices gainst me. Nice idea Mr. black wizard, but given that I'm wearing the ring of immunity and the ancient mummy wrapping, I really don't find them all that...

There isn't much that I do habitually. I generally like to take each game as it comes rather than having a set plan. One thing I always do, though, is speak to Thrundarr before checking Waldenbrook's...

Another tip is to py attention to how much an item weighs, especially for weapons and armour. Geerally speaking, the iron version of an item will have a round number as a weight, and then the higher...

There's also the FAQ at http://www.adomgb.info/adomfaq.html

It's somewhat outdated, but most of the information is still relevant and accurate. (And it covers selling things and using torches,...

Adding additional colours ranks somewhere between difficult and impossible, because of the technical infrastructure that ADOM is built on, I believe.

And drakes are humans who learnt how to spit acid at each other and became very alert as a reult.

I make it a priority if I want to go to the library. Otherwise, I'll half-heartedly try for it if it doesn't get in the way of anything else. I won't change alignment or put points into pick pockets...

Is anyone else noticing the RNG being extremely kind, or have I just got lucky? In my current game, I'm as far as the casino and I've had four randomly generated artifacts (Black Tome in a random...

You meet Ahiru Togtin, the cave lion.
A faint light shines through him, as of stars on a moonless night. His mane glistens vaguely in all colors of the rainbow. This spectral guardian of cats is...

Is this the queue for the "alertness is over-rated and shouldn't be that big a factor in choosing a race" comments? :D

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice enough skill, but traps are largely a...

Scrolls may not, but the spell still does. This may be a bug, or it may be deliberate, since the spell isn't as strong.


In addition to the extra damage die, the axe also now grants see...

It's also a really cool reference to his statue in the bug temple.

From http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=1489 it looks like there are changes to True Aim, Thunderstroke, and the Silver Key. So probably either returning or something else cool for...

'You hit the giant bat and kill it right away! The blessed silvery arrow "True Aim" (+10, 15d5) returns! You manage to catch it.'

My current character is illiterate, so I can't greater identify...

So it's a phase dagger, except it does 4 times as much damage, never misses, and can't be corroded, rusted, or destroyed? That sounds extremely powerful.

How about a vault of death and decay:

Ghosts, green blobs, (large) rust monsters, chaos plague bearers, writhing masses of primal chaos, ghost king.

Or a vault of the woodlands:

Shambling...

You have a much improved sense of smell!
Perception +3, can see invisible, automatically identify the b/u/c status of food, cannot eat cursed food.

Your skin is covered in pustules and boils!...

Persoanlly, I think we should stear away from suggesting anything with new mechanics or monsters or anything. So that would rule out having a marshy vault or an underwater vault, vaults with special...
