Yes it does... I promise I won't shave for two months if somebody can tell me how lvl1 bard can get past ~7 steel golems??? And aren't you supposed to teleport to DF?

It is just barely conceivable, but I don't think it does. Consider:

Exp: 1/0
(1229 turns).
1 companion was killed during her adventures.
She did not manage to vanquish any monsters.

You can teleport in DF, infact you can even place teleportation traps in there next to the stairs so that you don't have to waste spells/wands, avoid the high levels of corruption and avoid dangers like steel golems and Kherab blocking your path.

On a normal screen (25 lines) this is where the closest teleportation traps go -

Entrance       Exit

Speaking of interesting things...
has anyone else noticed that drinking blessed ! of Extra Healing when at or near max HP, increases max HP?
it's not in the guidebook, so i posted it on r.g.r.adom.

Yes it's true, blessed potion of ultra healing works to. But it's increase your max HP if you haven't your max HP. In oldest gamma blessed crystals of health works like PoEH and PoUH

Dunno if this is intresting but my gnomish wizard just advanced to lvl7 while just walking in a tunnel in ID. Can one get experience by walking!? OR it could have something to do with "you sense certain tension" message... I mean isn't sensing things kind of training to perception? And I've noticed that experience can be obtained by training something. A while ago my gnomish thief got lvl advance when picking locks. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Your PC get a level because one monster die in trap. You get some exp when monsters die in traps, and if your PC need a little exp for advanced... tadam congratulation et cetera and you are very confused... What's up? certain tension is an inforamtion about tencion room... room with a lots of monsters, hostail monsters. One fireball traps in this room = kaboom = some exp;)
Hmmmm and a last word about tencions room. Once my assasin have a nice thing with tencion room. In village dungeon on 3 or 4 level I found tencion room with kobolds and in this room was Jehrod to. And he was only knowed for me monster from tencion room who was neutral:) Sometiems when your PC is very fast or invisibility, you can open doors to tencion room, and monsters will be neutral 1. because they have no time to react, after a few turns all survivors will be hostile 2. because they didn't see you
PC get exp when disarm traps not for detect, hmmmm pick locking I didn't see but your thiev get exp:)

Could easily be that the thief disarmed a door trap.

Ummm... My character's exp came from lock picking. I checked the door for traps before I tried to unlock it. Those hidden runes can destroy equipment very easily....

Here's a thing that I need to know: Gaining strenght from corpses.

I've noticed that ogres and giants give my PC strenght but not always. "Very fat, that meat" is the usual message. Why? Do I only gain strenght if I'm weaker than the monster was? I've also noticed that if I keep eating the corpses I'll eventually get the message "you suddenly feel stronger!". While clearing out the ogre cave near dwarftown I noticed that about 3-5 ogre corpses give me +1St. Same thing in ToEF when eating Fire giant king corpses...although FGKings rarely gave me the fat meat msg, usually +1St.

About "very fat..." and "extremely fat meat", also bugbear corpse gives that msg so could I gain strenght from bugbears if I ate them enough? Or from other corpses that give either one of those messages?

I haven't experienced it in version 1.0, but eating bugbear corpses -used- to occasionally give you a strength bonus, if your strength was pretty low. Overall it's a random thing.

BM: I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure that tension room thing is your stealth skill kicking in (your assassin carefully opens the door, and the monsters don't see you!). Generally, when creatures haven't seen you yet, you get the 'doesn't care about you' msg.

Yes exeacly when you open not to kick off the door. But if your PC is very speed about over 400, than you can open door or just kick off and by few turn you will kill neutral monster.
Fire giant king corpse increase your St allways, ogre sometimes. In ADOM lots of corpses give some bonus when you just eat them, but sometimes it's a deadly suprise.


Spoiler

caster shoud eat other caster a specially kobold shamans but you must have a cure for sic

Gyr Hmmmmmmm in this tencion room all kobolds was hostile, but in this room was Jehrod to. And Jehrod was neutral because he is a unique NPC, and he is allways neutral.

I love tension rooms and vaults when my PC is invisible. You can do almost anything and only the moster you're whacking in melee will know you're there.

Well, actually mosters can locate you if you use ball spells or Burning hands. But bolts are safe. They never know what hit'em.
