OK, one thing I just remembered regarding accuracy: Like durability, it's rated on a scale from 1-20, and once you hit 20 anything past it has no effect.

I have no clue what I'm talking about. Here's a pineapple to make up for it

I have to disagree. I mean, yes, simply getting your shield in the way of a weapon is reasonably effective, it's a great way to break your shield. Much like a parry, the best way to use a shield is to strike the opponent's weapon out of the way with the *edge* of the shield -- rather than stopping the attack altogether, redirect it's force to the side so that it hits air, or the ground, as opposed to you. Effective plate armor works with the same principal.

Probably correct; however other things probably come into play (like weapon size/type/etc). If memory serves I recall that long swords seem to block more frequently than whips.

Jackpot

Hasted weapons attack faster I'm assuming?

The slow/haste items trick is old hat. I don't recall where it was first mentioned, but I believe it was in connection with making ommel tooth items last longer before rotting (as slowing an item makes it rot slower. similarly, hasting an item will make it rot faster).

This thread REALLY ought to be renamed.

If it's on the minefield level, I believe it won't save once the minefield itself has been disturbed. Don't quote me on this; I only know this sort of thing to be true for Jenny and the hidden boxes, and Merka's shop.

That's your problem. Re-read my post: did I ever say "clone"? Mirrors retain your equipment. Now, I don't actually know if HHG's even can be mirrored, so perhaps this is just a semantic error on your part.

Right, which would give you the time needed to get rid of your grenade and return, before your mirror's grenade exploded.
