I was looking through the adom.exe recently and noticed that many of the monsters seemed to have two totally different descriptions (not just male/female). I have only ever seen one description per monster. Is there any way to get an alternate description, or are these just pieces of unused code?

I might be confusing something, but I've seen a description of a Dark Orc saying that he is actually dark because of the tan, and that he's not afraid of sunlight anymore... Or that was something else? Hill orc? %) Ubi patria ibi bene! |

Did not The Creator say that looking at the .exe is evil? By the way, try looking up your PC's description. That, at least, changes over time... (&, then [your name]) |

It seems that some monsters have two different descriptions but you cannot read both of them in the same game or something. |

I actually have gotten two different descriptions (in different games) of the same monster. I wonder if learning and perception influence the description. It seems that one is usually more appearance based and simple while the other gives more back-history and lore about the monster.

Maybe if you're perception is higher than learning, you get the appeareance based description and if you're LE is higher, you'll know a lot about it's background. Perhaps the character read "A History of Magic". For the Horde! |

Nevertheless, it is a fun feature. My RL dumpyard: http://www.geocities.com/ceruleannebula/index.html |
