Hi Dark, Can this be a severed anything? I have seen the game say that this character or other can put a severed hand on their right hand. One more question. I notice some equipment cannot be worn by my main character. For example, I am a Mail Human Bard Monk, and cannot seem to equip the breastplate you get from beating the Goblin King in level 6. Why is this so? Best Regards, Hayden

I'd say this is a floor with lots of rpgs, extremely uninteresting and undescriptive combat, ---- especially those which rely heavily on hp mechanics. In the D&D 2nd eddition books I've read, it specifically states that the hp should be taken as a guide to roleplay and an indicator for what damage is done and what condition someone is in, not as red that 100 percent = perfect health, 0 is death, and pretty much everything betwene is the same. I do admit the entombed system has taken quite a lot of balancing out, even up to a couple of versions ago, it was too easy for just about enemy on the lower floors to one shot a magic based character with a shot to the head or torso, ---- but sinse Jason added more overall hp for those jobs it's been working very well and provides great stratogy and realism. Btw, miner spoiler but some fun! try picking up a severed head then looking in your equipment list for a rather amusing litle touch which has been in right from the very early private alphas. Beware the grue!
