Is it supposed to be like that? OR was spray acid JUST supposed to be a spell to weaken tough enemies? -------------------- -Zephyr Tempest, your personal entertainer Posts: 1779 | Registered: Monday, December 9 2002 08:00

Kills by summoned monsters don't give you experience either. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

So, for example, if a slime killed something with acid, the game has no way of telling whether the acid is due to you or the slime -- and in the latter case, you obviously shouldn't be awarded the experience. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Or else o'erleap.

Otherwise, just use it sparingly enough that you don't cripple your party. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
