Is it normal for a Mimic Hivemind to do 600 damage in a single hit? Just lost a kickass character (gray elven wizard, immune to every element, resistant to everything else, just found a wand of wishing with 3 charges on previous level) on level 30 of the CoC. It hit me once, went from 302 HP to -294! This is as far as I've reached btw. You know you've played too much ADOM when you try to throw coins at people wearing similar clothes as yourself. |

Was it an artifact guardian? they're tougher than normal and hiveminds are the toughest mimics. yet it's still a lot of dam. as alex said, if you were doomed and cursed, and if it was experienced, it's possible, I guess... just VERY unlikely. was it a critical? And my point was... |

Hmm, the few mimic hiveminds I have met have showed little or no resistance. Taken them out melee with wizards. |

Nope, neither cursed nor doomed. No artifact guardian either. It was a critical hit though. But still 600 points! Damn! I would have attacked it with spells had I known it was a mimic. Thought it was a potion. You know you've played too much ADOM when you try to throw coins at people wearing similar clothes as yourself. |

600 is awefully lot for a mimic damage even for a crit. You sure it was in one hit? |

Maybe he paralyzed you and you hit enter, and you thought it was one hit? Túrin Turambar Dagnir Glaurunga |

If the damage was incremental (due to paralyzation) surely it would have ended just below 0 HP and not as low as -294? Sounds like really bad luck or a bug to me Knud. Although you should have used one of those wishes for an AoLS! |

Was it in a room 'filled with a deadly and chilling silence?' That has the effect of multiplying all damage by a large amount. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

Ah it could well have been due to a room effect. I never bothered to check. Have to remember to be more careful next time. You know you've played too much ADOM when you try to throw coins at people wearing similar clothes as yourself. |
