Herbalism easily solved with blessed scrolls of uncursing, concentration replaced with a constant draw on health points instead of powerpoints. Food preservation is the reason for the low stats i believe. Some more wightcorpses and such would have helped. *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spells ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Burning Hands : 585, 7pp (Effectivity: +0) Cure Critical Wounds: 6, 24pp (Effectivity: +0) Earthquake : 630, 64pp (Effectivity: +0) Fire Bolt : 8, 16pp (Effectivity: +0) Fireball : 494, 15pp (Effectivity: +5) Frost Bolt : 145, 9pp (Effectivity: +6) Knock : 337, 10pp (Effectivity: +3) Light : 602, 2pp (Effectivity: +2) Lightning Ball : 428, 22pp (Effectivity: +12) Lightning Bolt : 3, 19pp (Effectivity: +0) Petrification : 12, 180pp (Effectivity: +0) Slow Monster : 552, 6pp (Effectivity: +0) Strength of Atlas : 698, 8pp (Effectivity: +0) Stun Ray : 944, 7pp (Effectivity: +0) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effects of Corruption ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have become very light (1/10 weight, St: -6, Dx: +4, To: -6, Ap: -6, +20 speed).
