Albu (that's her name) sheds a tear as she plods off to one of the Sage guilds.

I sorta thot it was a real longshot, too, but here's why I was holding out hope:
lvl 33 now (I accept she may die in training - I'll take that), still only age 16, int 26, wis 23, ldr 24, con 24, dex 17, str 10 (agghhh!!).

I'm formally accusing the game of having an anti-female-Ranger bias ;->

I've rolled an almost ranger - a char that had all the stats except for str 10 and dex 11. Since she's female I'm thinking cool - a female ranger. So I keep her a peasant and let her grow. Now, at lvl 29, she's SuperPeasant!! Dex is 12 (mebbe 13, i gotta look), but her str is still 10! Am i wasting my time? Should i make her a sage and be happy?

Again, thanks for this post. Your idea on thr LDR influence sounds nightmarish but fun. For the record, I'm partial to Rangers, myself. Just as hard to roll as a Paladin (harder, I think), but so much more useful.

Apolis, thank you!!! Much of what you asked was info I appreciate knowing.

John, the Grundig bug is real, but not to annoying to me. There are times when t the info panel won't show info on what you're browsing. I really couldn't tell you when it occurs, tho. It usually shows normally later in the session - that is, I just leave the store, kill a Kobold or two, and when I go back, the info panel works.

Yea I know, but I don't have access to a computer for a while - at least, not one I can use in my free time. And I'm not even gonna try a terminal emulator on a phone. I'm not that patient

I played the PLATO version for a while too, circa 1981. I _do_ remember dying a lot. I was always partial to mages, never able to roll a char I was really happy with, and I don't ever think I made it up to level 8. That was so much fun!!

Unfortunately, I agree that a multiplayer version might m not get much traction nowadays. That said, the current version is still good, pretty much almost as addictive as the orig.

My wishes still stand

Oubliette 2 - could function (almost) exactly as oubliette does, just different maps

Secret doors (then again, i might need to bang on a few walls in oub - who knows?!?)

Unpassable walls, i.e. - miner's gem has no effect. Not all walls, but some

Squares (or entire rooms!) of solid rock - cannot teleport into. Your call whether a teleport attempt just fails or kills party - oooh, mebbe all in party except hirebrands/rangers above a certain level. But they should suffer (and perhaps die) breaking out of the rock

Thx!

Ahaaaa!! I think I put it on a char who was already in decent health, and I was looking for an immediate affect on hits or stats. Guess I need to learn to be more patient. Thx!

I just got a Ring of Regeneration. Its power is Regeneration +1. I had one of the members of my party use it, but I didn't notice any change. What does it do?

Thx!
