Eliminating the grind!
« on: July 26, 2009, 10:52:37 pm »

I've only done this once, but it worked perfectly. Instead of spending an hour training Swim, Sneak and Throw to get good stats, just follow this four-step method:

1. Find a quest for a monster who "stole our treasures"
2. Grab all the loot scattered around its cave
3. Sell it and buy as many shields as you can afford
4. Equip them all at once (yay exploits!)

Congratulations, you are now impervious to everything, although some arrows will still get through. Does anyone else use this method?

That works too, but you have to go to the trouble of finding adamantine. And then, you have to go to the trouble of fighting HFS down to the last dwarf.

Because my non narrow elves and human adventurers are now pretty much invincible.
My second plan is using my cold war mod and using the democratic nations soldiers
My third plan involved a hammer and sickle, throw the hammer, use the sickle.

The problem is, even with masterwork adamantine spiked plate and scale mail (from a mod, better than plate/chainmail), masterwork adamantine shirt and coat and nerfed arrow damage, you still can be one-shotted by an iron arrow.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Think of it as some revolutionary kind of plate armor, except with shields instead of the plates.
