We should get more EXP for using portcullis to kill enemies than we do now..
I was being attacked by 8 raptors because i tried to run for it , rather than risk certain death i used the portcullis on each and only got 25EXP per kill. Compared to 125 exp by normal attacking , i think we should get atleast 100exp , sure you are not actually attacking. But you should be rewarded better for being very devious!
Can we have more exp for portcullis usage please!!
You can get through a lot of Blackwater guards that way too**. And at least one goblin chieftain. But yeah, if you get full XP for nuking them with a barrel of laughs, why the penalty for the old squisharoonie trick?
** Well, one was blocking the SE gate, and refused to move, and I couldn't find any monster to lure him with, so 'squelch'.
While on the subject, the NPC movement is weird .. many of them never go back where they should be (the alchemist lady in the first town now lives in her back room, which you can only get to by breaking a door. The alchemist and inn keeper from Bordertown are sat around in the middle of the wilderness, but still sell you stuff from their shop, half a days walk away. Etc.

While on the xp subject, I don't think disarm and picking locks should decrease as your skill goes up. You get the same xp for killing a salamander at level 1 as you do at level 15, so why not the same for locks and traps?
It would be different if there were a fixed amount of xp, but since you can get random encounters by camping, I don't see the reason for lowering xp. It is like you are being penalized for increasing those skills. I'm sure you can successfully open/disarm more of them, but I started getting no xp for some of them.
I just don't like feeling penalized for raising a skill...

Re: Can we have more exp for portcullis usage please!!
No I prefer it just like it is in game currently. Actually you should get 0 XP for using the portcullis doors, as it is too easy to use/exploit.Neilsouth wrote:We should get more EXP for using portcullis to kill enemies than we do now..
