The only grotesquely high attributes are his arm and leg strength, which is because his arms and legs are changed into a different material. There is nothing wrong with that. And as you will see, the higher your stats, the more powerful your enemies become, so it's not like the game becomes easy. In fact it gets harder as you go along, no matter how powerful you get.

About the wands, they have a random initial number of charges, but every time you recharge them, they get the same amount.

I think you were asking if encountering your ghosts is intentional, yes it is a feature of the game. That's why you have a folder called "Bones", that's where all your ghost levels are saved.

I don't mind all the newbie questions, the forum was getting boring and he may not want to read the Wiki because of the spoilers.

But for anybody who is NOT your previous character, they can be resurrected no matter what right?

Can you explain more about the soul thing? How do you know if the soul is nearby?

1) When you are in the world map, you can look using the L key and arrow keys, and find the city! Of course, sometimes there may be a convoluted route to get there and you end up going the wrong way, but it does show you where it is. That's something I only learned after many characters starving to death as well.

2) Yes being burdened makes you hungry faster, and it makes your legs stronger.

3) Yes I think it can happen randomly any time you enter a new level. There are some certain cases where it won't happen but I can't think of them right now.

4) I'm not sure about the difference between necromancy and resurrection. If you used a resurrection wand then yes he would definitely be back and you can play with him (but can't control him much).

5) For INT and WIS you can raise them both by raising scrolls and books, that is the easiest way. INT is most useful for hardening your item materials.

Good suggestion and welcome. Yes, the simple but very detailed graphics are what I love best as well.

Well, that was an easy enough fix. :x

I just updated Somagu's original post with all of the new ideas. I'll get working on them when I have time.
Erno ever get a chance to make that magical mushroom smiley? The animation would be hard.

Wow, very very interesting.

What should it be? And what would be good text for the angry face?

Congrats! Too bad about no screenshots. Add it to the honor rolls!
