Just kind of wondering here, according to the guidebook, there is no known way to train willpower naturally, is that out of date? Because i was playing my newly created Gnome Wizard, and had been mostly using spells since i started (MM from the start, just got Burning Hands). About 30 minutes since i started the character, i got the "Your will is inflexible" message, and my Wi went up from 12 to 13. What's up with that? (I gotta say btw, good book drops at start...I got slow poision RIGHT BEFORE getting poisoned, and found an invisibility tome right off the bat) Going for 2nd win |

Random stat changes can happen, especially if your stats are fairly low (12 is quite low for a gnomish wizard). However there is still no known activity that regularly trains willpower (other tha eating morgia up to a certain limit). It's very rare to see any sort of rise in willpower outside of this.

there are certain activitiesz which roll checks against willpower - casting while confused/stunned, kicking while blind... These are supossed to help train Wi. At very least my Zen Monks regularly got few Wi increases from kicking alone. A root is a flower that disdains fame. Kahlil Gibran(1883-1931) |

Ah i see, the confusion thing would make sense, as I drank from a pool (i think it was a pool), which gave me permanent confusion. I bumbled about in that general area for awhile, killing one monster through physical attacks, and then managing to get a couple spells through, killing the rest of my attackers...it was only after this that i realized i could pray to rid myself of it. It was later on that same dungeon level that Wi went up. So confusion casting seems to be the cause, i would guess. Going for 2nd win |

How very interesting... Hard to make use of in a normal game though. Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

Good thinking Jhonka! An actual use for the ibm guild manual, wow, never thought it could be used for anything If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

So you read the manual, get confused forever then try cast spells a lot then pray to stop confuse state? If that's that simple!! :-) |

Wait, it was the IBM guild manual, doh, not a pool! I couldn't remember, and never having problems reading UnID'd books before (knows to avoid tracts) i read it, and then got confused. Doh. Do you have to have a certain learning/willpower score to read those things or something? Going for 2nd win |

AFAIK, the IBM manual ALWAYS confuses you, no matter what your stats. Don't try to read the weird tomb anywhere dangerous either. |
