As the game is balanced currently it's generally accepted that two weapons are the best way to go.

You can't catch yourself in a bear trap while planting it if you're levitating?

Cap: That strategy could be even more effective if you can manage to get the traps all in one tile. Higher likelihood of trapping multiple limbs. However this plan could backfire if one of the traps springs on you before you set them all, as you'll have to move out of the square to get free, thus either losing the offending trap (until Sherry comes by) or having to start over again.

This was on IRC last night. It makes me realize that this joke could have possibly sealed the door to IVAN's developmental tomb.

I think we need to come up with something. Of course by we I mean you guys, unfortunately between my lack of time (and willingness to work, lol) and rusting C skills I won't be able to help.

Dual wielding Neerc se'Ulb I see. A man after my own heart

Should this topic be moved to tips-and-tricks, considering the spoily information contained herein? Or are we so far past that, due to the age of the game?

Unfortunately, the save/ load doesn't work like that.

Rather, when you load a game, the save file is deleted.

That character's gone. Best you can do is learn from the experience.

BDR, he could have waited out the polymorph before entering GC, and then probably have fixed his gear somewhat too.

You attacked the enner in melee?! Wow. You're brave. You weren't even hasted! I'm amazed you survived with as little damage as you did.

Valpurus? No, not really. The valpurium 2h sword is nice if you can enchant it a whole lot, and the shield is the same (if you're into that sort of thing), but the same is true for most weapons.

Mortifer, on the other hand, gives you Neerc se'Ulb, which is quite amazing.
