There are few things I've been thinking about lately:

1) I've never considered Wand of far slaying very useful. Is it useless?

2)Do Potions of raw chaos corrupt the enemy when thrown at them? If they do, wouldn't that be one way to deal with annoying cats? Just corrupt them enough and they'll turn into chaos goo.

3)Are any monsters vulnerable to poison? Has anyone found any use for potions of poison other than poisoning weapons? Does it actually help in melee battle to have poisoned weapons?

4)Which monsters can destroy doors? I mean are my valuable items safe behind locked doors?

5)Which one do you train: Bows or Crossbows? Do you wait and see how much slaying ammo can gather and then decide?

That's all managed to think of right now... I've got lesson going on right now so im in a bit of hurry... I'll ask more when I have the time to ponder these things.

Thanks for all the answers and opinions!!!!

4) Monsters that dig through walls can make the room accessible to others, and also dwarves can pick up items.

5) Crossbows, but mostly because quarrels have greater damage.

1) Hmmm very dangerous to use, but sometiems, specially If I play necro, and have no idea or for fun, just stand in corridor and zap this wand with full pp;) Ofkorz when my necro is on 50 lev:)
2) If you have Moon Sickle, and lots uselnesnes potions you can mutated cats into WMoPCh... potions of poison is very handy, and others stupid never uses potions to... But PoE is more yielding in cats problem
3) Poison is very useful in early game, later you faster kill monster with meele damage than efect of poison. Other use than diping weapon in PoP... Hmmm I sometimes just throw that potion and other to;) And diping arrows or quarells is a good idea, and more effectivity
4) Ogre cave is very good place to keep stuff, and Old Barbarian Glade to. But you must drop items only in "enter point"
5) Crossbows or bows... Arrows are more often finding than quarrels, Crossbow is very weight and really good crossbow in early game is rare. And in old versions where there was now hunting weapon I use hunting bows... So I'm bow addict;)
But slings are very good missle weapon... And sometimes I just use scurgari of returning... I'm to lazy to pickup my ammo;)

Thanks
And the questions continue...

6)Opinions about the healing skill? I usually slay the healer because the 'healing' skill given by the mad doctor is already at 60. I know it costs some Wi & Le but to fighter types that's not too much... Sometimes I do it with spellcasters too.

7) What kind of damage does a spear do as a missile? Is it worth to pick up heaps of spears and use them as a missile?

8) How much gold does it take to get crowned? Say from pleased deity to extremely close?

9) Using 'survival' skill. I heard that you can apply the skill to find seeds from wilderness?

10) What do you think about my avatar picture?=)

Thanks again ad sorry if I was somewhat "newbieish"... or something...

10) Hmmmmm nice hammer;)
9) Yes if you are bloated than you will be find some seeds... Just use, use and use.... It's reaquire some time.
8) Gold hmmmm in low level I sac monsters... It's easy way to get pre-crowning... In high level when I want became a champ than I sac gold 10000 in every time... sac, sac and sac and suddenly I get extremaly close mesage....
7) Use bows, slings, crossbows, or scurgari... Spears are good meele weapon.
6) Hmmm if you get healing skill for nonchaotics you can get some stuff, and it's for free:) But it's very useful skill

ChAoS has to faces... Power and Corruption...

1) Far slaying is just a magic missile with an expanded range
5) defenitly crossbows. Quirrels do more damage, far slayer is a little more powerfull.
7) spears make medicore missiles, but you can get heaps of them early.
8) the correct amount is on the "ADOM Guidebook"
9) the seeds are great when it comes to geting lawful - they work just as good as any food when given to beggars
10)As BM said - nice hammer;) Mjolnir?

6) Getting the Healing skill from the mad doctor also corrupts you a bit. Killing Jharod is too evil for my tastes, so I only do it when I can't manage to change my alignment from Chaotic.

8) Another good thing to sacrifice is blessed or uncursed stomafillia.

9) Yes, but only plant seeds, IIRC. If you apply Survival in the river while bloated, you'll catch fish instead - useful for taming cats.

Maelstrom: It's Mjolnir indeed. From Larry Elmore's painting "Thor". (I love his art!!)

eL: As BM said, infinite dungeon would be the best choice. I've found pretty many Spell Books there. You could also try to wander around in the road but you can also find Chaos monks. So be careful.

Thanks for the answers. If you suddenly remember something you didn't already mention, I'd be delighted to hear your thoughs.
