You know you've played too much IVAN when... in forum General IVAN Discussion
When you run out of money, so you take some books to the library and are confused when they won't pay you to drop them at the door, kick them outside, and then carry them back in.

Little detail trivia in forum Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
I don't believe higher AStr would increase the odds of the wand breaking when thrown...? Don't trust me on this, this statement is coming directly out of my rectum.

anything relating to ivan you're too lazy to create a new topic for in forum Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
I think this means they have intrinsic life saving -- whereas the AoLS grants it, they just have it. Since losing a limb removes equipment, by the time you're actually dead from the beheading your amulet is no longer on. If you had a ring of life saving I imagine you could survive beheading as well.

Okay, so why the fiddlesticks am I dying? +2 questions. in forum General IVAN Discussion
As I recall the math you should have a roughly 75% chance of polymorphing a monster into something weaker, and a 25% chance of creating something stronger. Which is really bad in the case of high end monsters.

don't waste charges on wands of striking, or even worse, socms and wishes.

I was just recommending alternatives.

On the topic of meteoric quests, a wand of polymorph is less valuable than a SoCM or a wand of striking, and it changes the chest into a random item, leaving it's contents behind without breaking anything.

I never thought of this. I was a bit skeptical (I thought the contents would end up polymorphed) so I just tested it in wizard mode, and Eagle is correct -- polymorphing chests is a valid technique for safely opening them. Plus you have a chance to get something nice from the chest itself.

The octagonal key, along with another oddly shaped key, are carried by high-end grudge monsters -- as I recall, my namesake has one of them. If you can kill him then you more than deserve the contents of the chest. However it's much easier to simply blast the chest with a wand of striking, or using a SoCM to change the box into something softer then kicking (or eating) it open. You may break any bottles that might be inside, but that (and the other, much more well hidden) chest generally contain items made of high-end materials anyways, and potions are a bit rare.
