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

Indeed Tom.

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!

Dark.
