Yeah, I've started playing dual whips for the great limb removal. Currently on GC 4 with Ommel Hair Whip +2 (I haven't found any other enchant weapons, or whips suprisingly.) I just found a wand of cloning as well, and wondering what I should use it on. I don't have anything really useful to clone at the moment. It was in the Meteoric Steel Chest.
I thought it was pretty cool and unique way to train a character, though one thing I want to mention is that you can kick the banana's off of the pedestal before the ostriches grab them for a free food source in new attnam. Someone else posted it on the forum, I don't remember who, but it's really helpful for sci talking there, or training AGI like you're saying.
Okay, sweet, that's really good to know. The file I was just playing I was using a steel dagger +7 with an ommel bone shield +3, Iron left arm, ommel hair right arm, troll hide legs. I was doing really well due to the shield blocking practically everything, and even though it did eventually start to rot, I socm'd it into mithril to keep the +3 bonus.
I died when entering the Enner Beast lair. It stepped on a landmine right after I detected his place in the level, and it must've had a wand of teleportation on the same square or something, because when I approached the place where he was and looked around a bit, he came out the tunnel I came from and destroyed me in melee. I was saving 4 wands of lightning for the fight and the lucky bugger managed to get close to me.

Anyways, that's why I became dependant on shields.
Okay, cool, thanks. I've actually started using a dagger with a shield as opposed to two daggers. What would you say is more effective? Because with the daggers I was thinking that my ability to block with them would rise with skill with the weapon, but that's just something I've thought of from ADOM.
I've been playing IVAN for a few years now, and after about an hour reading topics on this forum, I've learn a lot, most useful probably being the uses of wands of polymorph. However there's one thing I've never been able to figure out; is there any disadvantage to dual wielding at all? I almost always play using dual wielded daggers for the amount of hits, but I've been wondering if there's any penalties for this.
Edit: Sorry, I think I posted this in the wrong forum. If a moderator could move this to general discussion, I'd appreciate it.
