one creature that i'm having a bit of trouble with are dopplegangers.

i recently had a 'tension room' full of them (yea... that ended that character quick) but even 1v1, they are really difficult to kill.

do any of you have any tips?

Darkness, high willpower, confusion-resistance items, coins, bolt/ball spells, and friendly fire.

Coins can be used as missiles, yam. Dopplegangers seem to have a hard time dodging or deflecting them.

Also wands of poison are effective. Even DK's are in lotta trouble with poison.

Be raven. Then you can resist their confusion attacks. I've actually seen doppleganger king rooms :| They are *a bit* scary.

Hmmmm... If ADOM had a similar item to ring of conflict in NetHack those rooms could offer some fun...

Yeah, I've always wondered how a room full of doppelgangers would work.

"There, he is, get him!"

lol

anyway, thanks for the help, but i don't think it would have helped much in that case.

i was an orcish archer, and i picked up a cursed crossbow :(

i haven't tried it, but if i tried throwing a coin with a crossbow in my 'missle weapon' slot, would it let me?

You probably won't have much luck throwing coins unless you're a merchant.

Raven's effect is decent against dopplegangers; you avoid 3/4 confusion attacks from them.
