Is the amount of damage blocked by a partial block dependant and random, or is it a fixed amount/percentage (like e.g. always 50% of the attack it blocks)? Anyone know this? Any way to test it except code-diving?

Under "Further DEX Training", when you're talking about backing into a dead end and fighting a plant, drop your stuff and it doesn't matter if you teleport away because the plant will block access? Incorrect. The items will all teleport too. Pick 'em up then teleport. Unless it's stuff monsters don't touch like wands, traps, chests, etc.

Well I didn't mention the 'danger' of dropping stuff and then zapping a wand of teleport in the '.' direction because I seem to have forgotten mentioning that I drop it at the stairs (most often on UT2), which seems to have made me forget this issue; Kudos to You then, Chao.

The banana trick is cool, I tried it. I am sure to mention it, later, along with that cheap as free library vandalism trick.

Let's generate content, go on, go on! It's more amusing than a wiki, to me.

So, today I thought I'd do it - upload the 'handbook' I have been writing lately, revealing some cool ways to train characters. I hope that later it can involve into something the size and magnitude of Andy Williams' ADOM Guide!

I figured out I wouldn't find no time to polish it any good, so I just took the text I already had and .ODTed, then .PDFed it.

I wrote it having several moodswings, so one of the known issues is that it really clear if it's meant to be funny or not, suited for everyone or hardcore IVANers only, that it may have inconsistences or linkings to non-existent text. I checked it a couple of times, and corrected some stuff already.

However, I could use a little syntax, vocabulary and typewriting assistance, so discuss everything that feels shitty (or that it could just be improved). This is the first 'edition', with no screenshots or extra frames and jokes I planned, but perhaps it's enough to begin with. It is in .pdf and has a silly layout because I wanted at least the first thing to be reminescent of a booklet

P.S. Thanks go to all the great peeps from the forum, the old forum and the ancient forums, and of course the IRC channel, for inspiring me to contribute. And contributing themselves! Think You invented something presented here? Ask me for credit!

Cheers!

When in the night You dream of training AGI, at the beginning of the game, to 25. HolyshitdidIfeelmindfuckedafterthis.

It's nothing. Speed up, get back to work and finish the IVAN-f filesharing protocol

Cool add, Capristo! Reminds me of the kind of stuff in social networking. I'm sure I saw it on some other forum, if You'll be looking for code samples or the like.

The head on the dungeon floor sugests he just split two of the most badly retared and defected kobold siamese twins.

I'm not sure, but perhaps You could avoid this by dropping them in one level (preferably on the stairs), and reading them one-by-one on another one? Works with food not spoiling, AFAIK

Well 'xplained. Actually, a palm leaf, meteoric steel or beef penis will always be a beef penis. Even if it's meteoric steel. But from now on I don't consider having natural limbs an ironma-style challenge. Thanks for fixing me brain. Feels just and modest this way.
