Is that onl my imagination, or Ancient Mummy Wrapping abuses To?
I ask because I noticed a To decrease by 2 while wearing it for a certain period of time.
In positive effects list this "feature" is not mentioned. However, this wrapping would be too good without this abusal, for simultaneous res to sleep, stun, death, poison, see invis, +5 PV at a cost of 8 Ap for a *guaranteed* artifact is worrying.

Additionaly - remember the Rhetep's story -his former "skin", according to Ministrel's song, was not only ugly, it caused him a lot of trouble (can't remember exact word). As long as I noticed while using this art. was To abusal.

Am I right?

No, you're not. Most of my chars wore AMW and never suffered any kind of To abuse.

The possible reasons for the decrease include: getting Hungry/hungry! status too often, drinking from pools (you feel exhausted), fighting major undead (Wights, Wraiths, Vampires).

An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel.
A realist sees a train.
And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks.

AMW is my first artifact amour in most games and IIRC I usually wear it for 2-3 weeks game time and nothing happen after all the years

You must be obsessed with kissing frogs.

Nchurmdaz, kissing frogs is a quest you know. All my chars go for it at least once (all are female, I don't play males since they don't get that quest).
A pessimist sees a dark tunnel.
An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel.
A realist sees a train.
And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks.

I've never finished that quest. In all the years i've played, i have created 0 female characters =P

Ap never felt like a worthwhile stat to even bother with to me.

Ap replaces Ch as the shop-related stat for female character, and that's why I play them - it's just plain fun to equip a +7 Ap cloak, a common ruby necklace, a silver crown and watch the prices drop by 10% :D

I always have gender randomly chosen. What's so bad about playing a character of the opposite gender once in a while, anyway?

IIRC 8% characters in the hof are female.

Female chars cant use wedding ring against banshee.
Male character cant kiss.

RPing a female is entertaining (especially P&P) because you are trying to act like a female. when, as a guy, you have no Idea what being a female is like.

Yet some guys tend to rp women the way they think they should be, as opposed to how they would actually act.

Now that I think of it too, I don't have a single finished female character.. ;) Don't ask why. I don't know it myself.

From the manual:

(in ADOM female characters are more agile, male
characters are slightly stronger)

In another game played by me and Ashandarei, I told him:"I dont wear head protection because I like the feel of my hair in the wind." My character was female. I'm a 120% male.

and she's impuslive, lecherous, seductive, and sexy. Is that a lethal combination or what!?
