So... I had the amulet of life saving. and... accidently Chatted to K instead of giving him the amulet. Never had a legit victory but getting VERY VERY close. (2 deaths at mana temple lately). Was just wondering if I restored a previous back-up would it be considered save-scumming? |

Sure it will. Forget it! Restoration is only allowed when char is lost due to natural cataclisms like power loss, windows crash or meteor fall. In all the other cases it's not restoration - it's ScUmMiNg! Ubi patria ibi bene! |

I doubt anyone would be believe you if you put down meteor fall, but it's happened before.(well, I don't know if computers have failed, but some forest in Russia was hit by one in the 1900's.)

You can scum the endgame for practice, but the general consensus among the world's seven ADOM players is that it's not a win. The following is a real Adom message: The homunculus hits you. You suddenly fall asleep! Do you want to continue to read the spellbook of Calm Monster? [y/N] |

Whoah, saving Khelly ain't all that important - just play and win normally! It's silly to think of quitting over something like that. Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

Or ToEF if you're a drakeling and don't have fire immunity, or teleport control and SoMM..... "You try to give Fang, the large dog the bone. Fang, the large dog says,"Do you know who I am, mortal?!?!" My smartest dog ever:D |

Character was a Bard, Lost my SLB, messed up on the Amulet of Life saving. Character was having major transportation issues. Could of used that book of teleportation. Got careless in the graveyard with a huge amount of stat drain, died shortly after. Ah well, just beat the game with a monk :) Just thought that since I had the amulet of life saving that it was more of a game mechanics issue. |
