Re: Savefile Character Editor

I'm running 1.04 Basilisk on Vista Home Premium 32 bit with administrative privileges.

I've an empty "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Eschalon Book 1 Saved Games" (well, the config file is there, and up to date), but the saves themselves are located in a similar folder created in the install directory ...

Re: The Adventures of Bear-Arsed the Iron Monk

End does increase hp regen, survival would just be for even more. Another idea would be to go for dodge. Since your AC is going to be low that would give you some straight up evasion and a bonus to hit when it triggers. But I think your basic plan is going to be the overall direction that works ...

Re: The Adventures of Bear-Arsed the Iron Monk

Hmm. So, it's true that 15 gives benefits where 14 does not. However, what is gained for a point each in str, dex and speed is 1% toxin resist, 1 tohit, 1maxdamage, 1 armor rating at the cost of 1% resistall and a hit point per level (which is of course most expensive if paid early so as to benefit ...

Re: The Adventures of Bear-Arsed the Iron Monk

Gotta give you props on the game over being GAME OVER, I don't think I'd have the patience for that. Please keep us informed! :mrgreen:

It is indeed rather a tiresome way to play in some respects, but I find it gives everything a sort of urgency that makes for powerful immersion. You don't screw ...

Re: The Adventures of Bear-Arsed the Iron Monk

Guess who wasn't paying attention and fell in the Noximander pit. To his credit, he managed to take 7 of them with him.

T_T

Here's to version 4, featuring a better build and much smarter progression.

Re: The Adventures of Bear-Arsed the Iron Monk

Yikes. You won't even throw a rock at a powderkeg? Now that's what I call dedication! But watch where you stand--you may be hit by multiple blasts if you're not careful.

My thanks for the warning, but this was the intention. The Iron Monk is of the opinion that, "Weapons, ranged or no, are the ...

Re: The Adventures of Bear-Arsed the Iron Monk

So the only way I could conceive of to be certain of surviving the hive queen's paralyzing toxin with only 50% resistance was to level up to the point where I was quite sure (having tested on one, haha) I'd survive "outsmarting" my enemies by leading them to a bomb and then setting it off at arm's ...

Re: The Adventures of Bear-Arsed the Iron Monk

Been a while, folks. Got busy there, and am just now settling down to continue. But first..

Just out of curiosity, are you allowing yourself to use portcullises offensively?

Theoretically, I suppose, as all sorts of other guerilla tactics have been both necessary and wildly entertaining. To be ...

Re: The Adventures of Bear-Arsed the Iron Monk

So I'm laughing my ass off at having blown up 5 thugs all together using the trapped west salted coast bridge and merrily on my way to the crypt (at level 4 with 100 hp) and another thought occurs to me:

If barehanded combat is the only offense he's permitted, how is Bear-Arsed to kill poltergeists ...

The Adventures of Bear-Arsed the Iron Monk

So I decide to play this version of the game where you're not allowed to equip anything, use any consumable items (no potions, food, etc), or cast any spells. Oh, and if you die, game over.

I spend a while thinking on it and I roll myself a rogue (because it's the only class that won't give me a ...

Re: Eschalon challenge games (spoilers)

Idea for a new challenge.

no name for it, but try completing the game with an empty paperdoll i.e. equip nothing .

I like the sounds of this! Only, with no magic, either, and no reloads (aka Ziaix08's idea + Nevermore's). I submit for your consideration, "The Iron Monk". I'm thinking maybe no ...
