if wearing blessed ankh, two blessed rings of luck, having intrinsics fate smiles and lucky, does it improve the luck more than if wearing only the ankh? I don't think it should, and I don't think there's anything in the GB, so what do you guys think? And my point was... |

I would say no, with the possible exception of the ankh, which probably grants increases even on top of lucky+fate smiles. Die Gedanken sind Frei |

The matter is quite unclear. But it's considered to be a good move to wear every last bit of your luck-enhancing equipment before undertaking any important non-combat activity. Such as drinking from the fountains, smithing, mining etc. Also, most gremlin exploiters prefer to do the same while mangling hundreds of those tiny innocent fury creatures.

Ugh, that's 'furry' of coruse, not 'furious'. Furious gremlin is something I've yet to see. Maybe after some 5,000 kills... Greater Segmentation Vault (emperor memory leak surronded by memory leak kings and master memory leaks) |

I don't know but after about 700 kills they are only ~10-12 That's the longest I've ever bothered to kill them. "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |

Personal experience says no. What I understand of how TB works says no. Lucky and Fate Smiles, like possessing fire resistance, is a stage thing. Once you have the best, you have the best. Adom does seem to record small bonuses to the whole luck thing for both True Strength and the Ankh, but they are special exceptions. |

Read a blessed scroll of great identify on the items in question. If it says 'it increases your luck' in addition to other things, then I believe it does stack. If it just says 'it makes you lucky/makes fate smile on you' then it probably doesnt. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

Elemental resistances stack... (don't know what Larrack is talking about) If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

I'm not sure. Fire resistance stacks, of course, but it's unclear if this works for ToEF background damage only. Anyway, even one level of FR makes fire damage virtually negligible, so it's hard to tell. And it's even more obscure concerning other resistance. To quantitate the effects would be quite hard even with hex-editing your char... Greater Segmentation Vault (emperor memory leak surronded by memory leak kings and master memory leaks) |

I killed 2500 gremlins in a game, and I was using a stethescope just for fun, and it said that at level 30 gremlins do something like 10-15 damage. But in my monster memory, it said gremlins do something like 1-60 damage, so there must have been one pretty freaking powerful gremlin in there somewhere. If you do extra fights in the arena you find that kind of thing there too. My monster memory for "orc" after fighting one there, "they have from 1 to 300 hitpoints". Edit: Oh right, the topic of this thread. Rings of luck just give the luck intrinsic, so it probably doesn't stack. Though, when you use Revelation it says "you are lucky (ENHANCED by an item)", so who really knows besides TB. There's actually a lot of superstition about this game, vault location is decided when you start the game or enter the dungeon with the vaults, so wearing lucky or dooming stuff doesn't actually help generate any more vaults.

Monster memory take crits into the account, imho. So that 60 is probably 15 x4 critical. Greater Segmentation Vault (emperor memory leak surronded by memory leak kings and master memory leaks) |

No one is going to seriously expect me to believe that acid or poison resistance stacks? |

They stack. Go see it yourself. Wear one/two things of resistance, and let vortices explode on you. Same with poison resistance. If you have it naturally and get it also from an item poison is half(just throwing figures out of my head) as effective. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.
