How can you get gas immunity other than the mask? Magic mushrooms?

Just had one who found Turox, Vermis, and a cloak of invisibility (torn and then repaired) all in UT 1-2

P.S. I'm sure the polycontrol thing would've been illegitimate, just thought it'd be a funny way to circumvent the rules

I'll give this another shot but here's my first attempt

Turn:
1316 - Entered UT3
1340 - found an oil lamp and wished for Mjolak
2320 - first giant plant
2751 - killed
1435 turns total

Arm Strength went from 13 to 20 in that time because of Mjolak

Killed:
38 plants
46 greater plants
12 giant plants
96 total

Final score: 1427

I had 2 cans of troll blood but couldn't drink quick enough. The main reason I died though was weak body armor (hardened leather I think)

I also had a couple scrolls of teleportation and some offensive wands. My plan if I became desperate was, I had both a ring of polymorph and polycontrol, so I'd turn into something else. Never got the chance to use any of those though, so I could've easily lasted longer. Also, never returned to UT to rest. Starvation seems very likely if you do this for too long... those kiwis aren't enough to keep you going after a while.

My last character would've been perfect for this. Mithril chain mail, favored by Mellis (tons of healing liquid) while still in UT. In GC3 Rondol hit me in the head and knocked me unconscious; I was still alive when I woke back up (and should've easily been able to beat him) but the next hit killed me after I pulled my wand of teleportation out of its chest

So, we're not allowed to go back to UT2 and heal I take it?

You know what, actually I guess a large part of it is the Valdemar bug. A sip of healing liquid or troll blood could've easily saved me in most of these cases. I just fixed the script. There does seem to be an odd number of powerful zombies though.

Is it just me or does IVAN CVS seem absurdly imbalanced?

I consider myself pretty decent at the game and have beaten it a couple times. But I've just had a slew of characters one-shotted by either zombies or skeletons in UT. I haven't made it out of UT in fact. Usually 1 out of 4 of my games ends up decent on average.

Eat perishable food right away. Save the canned stuff for when you're in danger of starving

Yeah really. Now is not a good time to have 1/2-developed beta forum software :/

On the other hand, cool that the game's still gaining popularity years after development stopped
