I can't believe this happens in A4. And they're pathetically weak until you upgrade to something like a blessed longbow. And even then, they still do half the damage that good melee fighters can do. Arrows may be weak, but razordisks totally rock. I hope they still have them in A4.

Delicious Vlish His Mighty Tentacle Member # 627	written Tuesday, November 29 2005 09:00 Profile #52 There are more of those kinds of bows. You can buy archery training and the Sharpshooter skill. This will give your casters a reasonable hit rate. Some of those bows are so nasty in their effect that it's tempting to use them in favour of actual physical damage. Jeff seriously gave power to the archers. There are bows in the game that are just plain SICK! -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV.

Hmm. Acid/poison effect per hit, instead of pure physical? Can you say if Envenom made a return from the Exile series? That always was a fun spell. Actually, I like poisoned weapons in almost any game -------------------- Nobody appreciates me. It's all "Igor! Fetch some wine!" "Igor! Clean up this experiment!" or "Igor!

Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, November 29 2005 15:53 Profile Homepage #54 Not all damage is physical, but there are some bows that do things even more fun than different damage. —Alorael, who will say two things. Poison is nastier than it was in previous Avernums, and killing with poison gives experience now.

Delicious Vlish His Mighty Tentacle Member # 627	written Tuesday, November 29 2005 18:12 Profile #56 There are some poisons that it can take 3 or 4 castings of mass curing to clear up. And in that time, it is possible to die. You can jack up poison resistance to well over 100% and still take oodles of damage, but thankfully this kind of toxic assault is rare. Of course, this is why you keep Curing Elixers on hand at all times on all members. Oh, and I do agree, acid has become a fomidable force, one that requires attention now. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, November 29 2005 19:20 Profile Homepage #57 I have never used a curing elixir... nor have I ever used an augmentation potion, healing potion, strength potion, or shielding potion. For the most part, it's only speed and energy potion/elixirs for my party. It's so much easier to just give your main fighter the priest spell skills to heal himself. Alternatively, you can give your priest some speed potions. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, November 29 2005 21:44 Profile Homepage #59 Melee is far from useless, and really, one can still bless-haste-hack most of the time, but there are occasional combats that make things more challenging. The idea seems to be to force you not to rely on one single strategy for every fight in the entire game. Melee is good, but you'll need to be able to deliver different kinds of damage from time to time. And come to think of it, I've only used an invulnerability potion, and nothing else. I have loads of them on someone — my fighter, I think — but I've never used them.

Qualicide Shock Trooper Member # 1960	written Saturday, December 10 2005 09:55 Profile #60 I never got in the habit of using ranged missiles in playing exile 1-3 netergate and avernum 1-3.

Maybe you know why some slith eyes were once red - ´cause the demons, which led them were red. But why are the eyes of the Slith Lord Followers red?

Law Bringer Member # 335	written Saturday, December 17 2005 08:59 Profile Homepage #63 Since the damage cap is 200, you either had a mage as your first character or you cheated more than can possible be necessary to inflict feisty slaps of pain. —Alorael, who never used archery much until A4.
