Is it just me or are the spells in adom a little too powerfull. Instead of attempting close hand to hand combat, spells allow you to rack up the kills from a distance. If it werent for the monsters with resistance to some spells then spells would rule game. Even though most spell casters start out very weak and easy to kill I still balieve that spells are too good in this game. Know your friends well, know your enemies better. -ragnof fre sendquvich |

Your right but if your a spellcaster and you run out of mana your kinda screwed. Especialy when your in a tension room. Death is only the beginning [Edited 1 time, last edit on 5/3/2002 at 11:02 (GMT -5) by Grim] |

Grim, did you know that when you run out of mana you can keep on casting spells? It drains your hp instead of your pp at a rate of one hp for two pp. If you know any healing spells, you can cast them from hp and gain more than you lose, so you can just keep on spellcasting, totally ignoring your lack of pp. Warning: this strategy is regarded as abusive, and will not work so well in ADOM 1.0.1. |

Yes I did know you can drain your life, but you can end up dieing a pretty pathetic death if you drain all your life. Any ways spell casters arn't known for there "awsome" amount of vitality. Death is only the beginning [Edited 1 time, last edit on 5/3/2002 at 11:03 (GMT -5) by Grim] |

Ok so I agree spell casters are a little to powerful but just to clear this up I think we should have a pole. Death is only the beginning

I wouldn't say to powerfull, but if you get get them past the early stages they are pretty amazing. But IMHO that's just fine, if you find wizards to easy you can always play a mindcrafter or some other class instead. The game doesn't have any difficulty settings so to some extent it's only good that some classes are easier to play than others. Jan Erik Mydland HoF admin |

I think it depends on how you start if your a spell caster. If you start out with no attack spells what so ever, it makes the game a lot harder. Death is only the beginning [Edited 1 time, last edit on 5/6/2002 at 10:50 (GMT -5) by Grim] |

I like priests just 'cause they can fight and cast spells very well. Umm... well, they actually cannot fight very well, but atleast they can handle "normal" encounterers. Joka vitsaa säästää, saa kaatumataudin |

Yea thats da one problemo with spellcasters; they suck at any kind of physical combat. But there spells make up for it big time. Know your friends well, know your enemies better. -ragnof fre sendquvich |

 Dougy Registered user What is the deal with cards? Last page view: 5841 days, 2 hours, 37 minutes and 30 seconds ago. |
The trick there is to train your spellcaster into a fighter. Thus if there's an emergency using a spell can get you out of danger. Also note that good fighter types can be just as powerful as good mage types, if it is played right. DougyDougy - Dougy - DougyDougy |

i agree to som xtent that some mayb too powrful (i.e wizads) but not all. My current char which is a trollish elementalist takes a beating when she doesnt have a shield and is out of pp but sh can handle herself quite well.9did i mention shes lvl 15?) |

I was just wondering is there a quest that will get you a good spell??? If not is there any other way to get a good spell without wandering around. Death is only the beginning |

Hmmmmmmmmmmm there is one. Quest asigned by AKW in one of unreal level. In this quest you can get some spelbooks. More than in library. Another quest is quest to free spirit one of dwarven warrior, but you must have a pick axe to get some SB. And casino is one big bookstore;). And just kill lots of monsters, in ADOM is some propability to generate some nice stuff. Like in lottery just buy lots of lottery tickets;) "Insect, we care not for thee. Disturb us any we will extingwish thy weak candle of life" |

Duke heh Herbalism skill is more useful than one spellbook;) If you have herbalism get healing quest.... If you have herbalism and healing hmmmmmmmm yeap SB of FrB is better than gardenning... But sometimes this skill is hmmmmm helpful "Insect, we care not for thee. Disturb us any we will extingwish thy weak candle of life" |

One more thing, spells seem to elliminate the worry of getting confused, paralysed etc. which can be very useful at times. If only spellcasters could fight hand to hand better then they would be by far the best class in the game. Know your friends well, know your enemies better. -ragnof fre sendquvich |

In other games spellcasters only use their spells for extreme situations because of the lack of PP(or their equivelant) in Adom it's more realistic because you actually use them to fight more often than not. I like that system better...easier than Moria. Oh...BTW...I'm back ;) You feel a surge of power. Suddenly your extraordinary carrying capacity fails you. You are crushed by the tons of luggage you are carrying. You die... Go here when you are on the forum to chat about Adom! http://koti.mbnet.fi/adrakon/chat.shtml
