ThwockSplort, if you are hidden in the shadows you can whack someone but they can't hit you back because they can't see you. :D

For night fighting or combat in a dimly lit dungeon it can be awesome when combined with Predator's Sight. You can see the nasties, hit them without a darkness penalty ...

Horace and Josia, you both make excellent points that I fully agree with. Josia is right that you need one point in armour to avoid the penalties. Horace is right that the return on investment is so low that it's not worth putting skill points into armour beyond that. The only reason my current ...

Hehe, take a look at the numbers I gave in the post just above yours, Agnari. I don't think my heavy/light armour mix is weak at all. :D

Metamorphium, here's the stats for my level 9 character. As I mentioned earlier, he's being built as a sword user able to cast desirable support/utility spells ...

Again I just have a few minutes between doing other stuff so here's another quick thought, this one about armour.

Atm my current character is at level 9 also and is happily hunting raptors. His armour level is at 51 using a mix of heavy and light armour all imbued to the max. With that number and a ...

Ah Metamorphium, I got the game a couple of days before Christmas but I still haven't gotten past mid-game because I keep finding interesting new ways to build a character and thus keep restarting. So yeah, if you are not happy with your character, I'd say go ahead and restart myself.

I have to ...

Just like the chests/barrels set randomly the first time you open them, the stores reset randomly every time a shopkeeper tells you that they've added new things. So just quick save before talking to them and you can restore to change their selection. Spider silk does get harder to come by as you ...

Oldguy, at least in the Mac version, there's an easy way to reset the entire world without having to hexedit anything. Save a game with a high level character and remember which slot you save it in. Start a new game and save that one in another slot, again noting which slot you saved it in. Go to ...

Hathorian, one of the ingredients you need to activate the portal is fairly rare. You won't be able to find it until you are high level, though in a nice little catch-22, you can buy it in Blackwater once you get there. :wink:

It is possible to run to Blackwater as a low level. I did it as a Level ...

Just for the record, I've also placed stuff on dead bodies and inside broken barrels without any of it ever disappearing.

Personally I like using Elder Hollow as a base of operations. The building with the staircase has a chest and a dead body right next to each other which provides enough room to ...

Soybostero93, since the loot in the chests is randomly set, you don't find the heavy armour book at any particular location. The trick to finding it is your level. As you gain exp and level up, you find better stuff in the chests/barrels and can buy better stuff in the stores. I don't remember ...

Hehe, my only issue with the maps is that I sometimes have trouble locating myself on the automap. With a cart of 9 there's a lot of detail on the automap including small circles that look similiar to the one indicating my location. However, that is a topic for a seperate thread. So now back to the ...

Re: 10.4 / 10.5

... Since I'm doing this for free, I'm not sure if I'll get time soon, but I'll keep it in mind next time I am hacking some new features.

Thanks for your comments.

Ah Samuel, that does look like a sweet little editor but sadly I'm still on OS X 10.4 and won't be making the move to 10.5 for quite a while. I hate to ask this but is there any chance you might do a 10.4 version for us late adapters?
