I don't know if glowglobes or floating glowglobes function as torches as I usually find them when I'm playing as a mutant with the mutation that allows you to see in the dark. I would assume a floating glowglobe would fit in the floating slot.

[Cheese]

I'm playing a true man, so meh. I guess it comes with it's disadvantages.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Yeah Lanterned helm then. I've not found a glowball, but that'd probably do it too.

[Strange guy]

I picked up a glow globe (not floating unfortunately) on one of my characters and it appeared to be an unlimited turns torch. Also surprisingly useful for hitting things with.

But yeah mutants are best with the dark, night vision is cheap, light mutation comes with a laser and extra hands is good for melee as we as torch holding.

[Soulwynd]

The globe also illuminates further than the torch.

Meanwhile, I've generated an interesting map today, I call it the corridor of death:

[Tarran]

Try pressing F9, I think that the rest of the level might've been generated separated from that corridor.

Is there some alternative to torches? I started up a melee character and I either have to sacrifice my shield of sword to be able to see anything, almost anywhere.

Glow orbs function like a torch. Floating glow orbs do as well, and don't take up a hand slot. There is a possibility of getting a helmet with a lantern, and as a mutant you could get the light manipulation ability as well.

correct me if im wrong, but cant you equip a sheild to your arm rather than hand?

Only a buckler

I know it was, but the mag gen sometimes does levels similar to that. This is the 3rd time I get a level just like that, except this is the first time there was nothing connected to the corridor.

My most recent character was a 4 armed, 4 handed, winged, beaked night vision telepath. Was a marauder wielding 4 axes, 1 level away from getting the dual wield skill which I presumed would intensely increase my power. I died because I held down the wait button and next thing I knew a spark elemental came out of nowhere and killed me.

Two words:

Seriously... The most annoying thing... ever...
(Great idea for a npc, btw)

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I was just thinking, some of the little touches in this game are amazing. Such as the name of the beaded bracelet, and lanterned helmet.

[Tarran]

Tip for everyone in the early game: ALWAYS pick up two-handed longswords if you aren't already. They fetch one of the two highest dram-per-pound ratio(11 drams for 5 pounds) I've ever seen in all of the common early game weapons(the other being iron longswords) and they're quite common.

[Tarran]

Unormal, bug; Target Rifles can still fire without any ammo loaded.

Also, aren't Target Rifles a little redundant if they're(as far as I can tell) exactly the same as Desert Rifles?
