Gilvain: I heard a *rumor* that the max ac is -350, I suggest boosting it As Dive said, -301. The point is that our entire combat system is designed around there being a very limited number of levels (35 for fighting) and this was enforced through caps inside the combat system. Therefore, it doesn'...

In response to 7. (Why haven't we found other people in space, yet?) there's actually a famous paradox stated by Enrico Fermi (a theoretical astrologer or physicist, I believe) regarding that. It reads: "If they existed, they would be here." (The paradox obviously being that if they don't exist, why...

You're complaining about being bonked? What has this world come to? *boggle*

I'm quite sure that iron monk and sanc do not stack, at least on PC's. Since I believe that mobs use the same affect bits as PC's do to determine what things to consider during combat (and other times), and iron monk and sanc do use the same affect bit (sanctuary, specifically), I'm fairly sure that...

It would be kinda neat to only be trainable until you're x many levels bigger than a certain aggro mob when it no longer attacks. If I'm right, he's saying that it'd be neat to be able to only train at a mob once it's no longer aggro to you, i.e. when you would then no longer have to worry about dy...

Yes, I believe it actually has to do with how drunk you are... as you become progressively more sober, you can eat/drink/walk more easily, and your words are less jumbled. If you've ever played a drunk race where your drunkenness gets set (by an imm), you can see this sort of effect in action.

I generally used ales from the barkeep in calathar - if you're drinking them constantly, it keeps you full/unthirsty as well as pretty drunk. But it is a good point, Disaster. On the same lines, if you're poisoned or plagued (or any other long-term affect that damages you), it's obviously going to s...

Yes, you did. And you're probably lucky that it was me and not Scav that responded.

I'm fairly sure that it's not really... resisted... it's that how armor gets damaged is a function of the armor's level vs. the amount of damage done. As your armor becomes higher level, it requires more and more damage (from a single blow) to permanently damage it. I smash armor with every hit, no ...

I'm sure he adapts well to "other" personal usages, too.

I suppose technically, if you're a hero or under level 11, you can do your regen-ing at a healer, who will then occasionally heal you to speed up your heal time. That would help you heal faster, on average - assuming the time you spend getting to a healer and back isn't more than the time to regen f...

I'm pretty sure that's the formula we gave earlier on, if not quite in the same format. But, yes, that would be how to get a rough estimate of your hours.

Way to inspire our laziness, Scav. You're truly among our greatest.

I'll be danged... it's probably not that I was misinformed, but that I was trying to apply knowledge that didn't actually relate to the discussion to it (i.e. the explanation you gave me from a while back on how an individual hit is determined "hit" or not). Given this information, I believe I now h...

I posted what all the attributes do here, both for at level affects and in-game affects.

Having a high con, resting/sleeping and drunkenness are, I believe, the only factors in hp regeneration.
