Re: [Audyssey] 2 question about entombed...

2012-05-20 Thread dark
One of the intrinsic imbalances in entombed is the fact that magic never 
misses. At most, you'll hit a body part that you weren't intending to. With 
fighters, barbarians etc, while they can do great damage, the damage is 
always contingent on them actually hitting the targit which they don't 
always do.


Add to this the fact that the further down the dungeon you go, the more well 
armoured creatures' are and the less damage physical attacks do, 
(especially ranged weapons, most of which are made of very soft wood or 
pretty feeble stone), and the magic jobs really have a distinct advantage. 
again, this is something that's been discussed on list.

Hi Dark,

Yeah, I know. It seems to me your better off picking a race and job
with a lot of magic potential because you can do far mor damage with
an iceblast, firebolt, etc than a fully trained fighter. The only time
fighters are really good is if they are paired with a thief or
assassin job so they can perform sneek attacks. Otherwise a necro can
usually kill goblins and other creatures with a well directed iceblast
to the head. Plus can do heavy damage to undead creatures if their
skills are high enough. Then, add to that their ability to raise
goblins, ogres, and other undead enemies I just find necros to be one
of the best jobs to have.

Re: [Audyssey] 2 question about entombed...

2012-05-20 Thread Richard Sherman
HI,

Fairies are not as bad as they seem. I have played many games with one as my 
primary character. Many fairies are also in the top 50.

And a good fairy with mage maxed out can do a whole lot of hurt. In fact 
more damage than a necros ice blast.

One trick is to choose trickster. This way they can hide if necessary and 
let their pet do all the damage in the early floors. Also helps if there is 
a good magical cloth tunic or leggings and a magical dagger to boost their 
intelligence, creativity, and hp.

Good luck.

Re: [Audyssey] 2 question about entombed...

2012-05-20 Thread Thomas Ward


Hi Dark,

Right. I've noticed that. Entombed simply doesn't give the magician, 
necro, etc much chance to miss or fizzle where in Sryth your success is 
really a roll of the dice. You either hit the target and do no damage, 
your magic fails causing you to lose a turn, or it hits the target 
delivering a lot of damage. In that way Sryth's magical combat tends to 
be more balanced.


When I get around to developing my own RPG adventure I'm strongly 
planning on using proven d20 rules in order to balance combat. Having a 
magical talent will be no insurence that you will freeze, shrink, grow, 
or do anything else to the intended target every single time. There will 
be times when the spell will fail or miss. Ditto for standard combat 
using swords, knives, daggers, spears, etc.

Re: [Audyssey] 2 question about entombed...

2012-05-19 Thread dark

Hi Bryan.

Sleep is fantastic if used right, sinse firstly the enemy is out of action 
and not hurting you, leaving your party free to pile on other enemies and 
leave the sleeping one until later, which means it's far easier to play 
tactically. Also, the sleeping enemy will take double damage from any attack 
while sleeping, and that's not counting the assassinate ability which can do 
truly ridiculous damage to sleeping opponents, often koing them in one shot.


The only real problem with sleep is your stupid pet, sinse on the lower 
floors of the dungeon the 8 damage your pet does is negligeable (indeed 
usually opponents are so well armoured you'll be doing a lot less than 
that), even when doubled to 16 for a sleeping targit, meaning often the 
wrong enemy gets woken up with little bennifit, another reason why better 
pets have been another frequently requested entombed feature.


Even with that drawback though, sleep is great for managing fights, and I've 
had games where the bard is virtually carrying the party, indeed in one game 
I played my party wass a very useless monk/healer, I was trying a multiclass 
technique and magic character, but the lack of advancement of either sets of 
stats and of mana meant they were pretty useless at both, a rather feeble 
halfling ranger assassin who never had any ranged weapons that could get 
through the armour of opponents, and a completely awesome half elf bard who 
basically carried the party by sleeping and chalming enemies into 
slaughtering each other.


That crew actually got to the final boss, and killed the boss herself with a 
lucky break limb from the monk, however after that none of them could do 
enough damage to get through the regenerative ability of one of the boss's 
minions, so I had to abandon the hole thing which was most annoying.


Still, from that very weak party you should see how completely fantastic and 
overpowered bards are.

It also actually makes armour skills pretty pointless, sinse if your 
well armoured character will not be getting attacked anymore than your 
less armoured ones, what's the point in armour? you might as well 
expend the points in attack skills and hope to drop the enemy before 
he/she attacks you.


One common suggestion made on the entombed list is to have a 
front/back rank system. Characters on the front are %75 likely to get 
hit, while characters on the back have a penalty to meelee attacks (so 
that's where you put your mages and archers), I really hope Jason will 
either add this option or do something similar in his next game.

Hi Bryan.

In that sense, as with the random dungeons, entombed is more like a 
roguelike, sinse most roguelikes don't even give you the option of being a 
zombi, heck, Angband (the only roguelike I've ever been able to play), has a 
game 100 floors long, can take weeks, then ooops, perminant death!

Hi Bryan,

Yes, it would be nice to bring characters fully back from the dead, but
I also see Jason's logic here. If a character gets killed, IE stone
dead, bringing them back from the dead should have penalties. Either
they are a zombie or skeleton, with low intelligence, or they are
reincarnated as a lesser creature. These are fair compromises to keep
the game challenging. After all, in most fantasy books, games, and so on
you can't just bring someone back to life without some sort of
necromancer involved, and even then its not the same as being restored
to real life. There are always consequences for that kind of magic.

I think that's why I got turned off of Sryth. If you died in the course
of a game it had no immediate or long lasting consequences. All you did
was lose a life stone, and you could purchase as many of those as you
wanted or needed to keep reviving your character. I like fantasy, but
even that should have some limits.

I still think he could have given us the option to fully revive characters 
while maintaining the level of challenge. even if said option was not in the 
form of a learnable spell. Maybe a potion that, while not necessarily 
extremely rare, could be less common as a droppable item and more expensive 
to purchase and only available from certain shops. Given how easy it can be 
to die sometimes I think it would cut down on some people's frustration. And 
if, as I said, these potions were able to be made available only from

Well, it all really comes down to the defense problem, which is imho 
Entombed's major flaw in design.


it doesn't matter whether you've got an ogre fighter with hp through the 
roof in full plate armour, or a fairy mage who can go down at one poke, 
there is absolutely no way to insure that one will get attacked any more 
than the other, and thus no way to avoid accidental death when an enemy 
chooses to hit a weaker character, especially with the possibility of one 
hit killing by striking the torso or head.


I'm really sorry this never got fixed in the games' developement, sinse if 
it were possible to protect a weaker character with a stronger, then a good 
tactical player shouldn't! be dying, as indeed is the case in roguelikes, 
thus no need for resurrection at all, indeed in a multi character game with 
tactical combat, i'd personally rather have stronger tactical options to 
succeed than resurrection.


Hopefully if Jason ever comes up with entombed Ii, this issue will be 
addressed.

Re: [Audyssey] 2 question about entombed...

2012-05-17 Thread Thomas Ward


Hi Dark,

Right. I think I'm more frustrated with that aspect as well. I don't 
particularly think we need a way to fully restore a character to life so 
much as we need more control over the combat order and being able to 
defend weaker characters. I don't know how many games where I have an 
extremely battle hardened character going up against an enemy boss like 
the Drake and it wipes out my Fairy with one attack, and there was no 
way to interpose a stronger character in the way to keep that from 
happening. If I had more control over who gets dibs on attacks, who can 
defend more often, etc the Fairy might not have gotten killed in the 
first place.So I agree the defense issue is really the bigger problem here.

Re: [Audyssey] 2 question about entombed...

2012-05-16 Thread Thomas Ward


Hi Keith,

Yes. There is a way to bring some of your party members back to life. 
Several in fact.


One, if you hit them with lightning there is a good way they will come 
back as a zombie. Not as cool as having them back for real, but a zombie 
character retains most of their prior skills.


Two, if you have a necro you can raise them back from the dead as a 
skeleton warrior. Not as cool as a zombie, but I guess if you want that 
character back bad enough you can control him/her through a necromancer.


Third, there is an encarnation spell you can use to revive their spirit. 
They won't be nearly as strong as before, but is better than dead. :D


Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] 2 question about entombed...

2012-05-14 Thread dark

Hi Kieth.

first as to the elemental weapons. yes, they will do more damage to 
elemental creatures of the opposing element, so try your flaming stuff on a 
water elemental. however, there aren't that many elemental creatures in the 
dungeon, and the rest of the time elemental weapons are no better than 
ordinary ones, so accept for a couple of battles there's not really much 
need to worry about them too much.


As to bringing characters back, well necromancers can of course raise them 
as skeletons, and there are some ways to raise them as zombies as well 
(though I'll let you find those for yourself). there is also a reincarnate 
ability, which will bring them back to life but change their race, however 
they'll be extremely weak in this circumstance, so usually it's better to 
try and avoid death if you can.


Beware the grue!

Dark.

Hey guys,

   2 question about entombed.  First, I have come across some items that 
have flaming or sky in the name.  When I do an examination of the item, it 
says that it is related to that elemental force.  Does this help if lets 
say, a weapon is flaming, meaning fire related, and an opponent is more 
effected by fire?


Second question, one of my party members has been killed.  Is there a way 
to ressurect that character?  I know you can dump the body, or sell it off 
in Twilight Town, which I have found better than leaving a former party 
member in the dungeon, because they have a tendency to reanimate and kick 
my butt for leaving them down there.  (smiles)


Thanks

Nope, you can't actually resurrect them. You can summon their bones if you 
have a Necromancer, but then you can't control themand any injuries they 
sustained before they died will still be present and can't be healed. If you 
have a druid you can Reincarnate them, but then they might come back as 
something else that's weaker than what they used to be. On the up side you 
can crontrol them. But you can only do that once.




Are you threatening me? I am the great Cornholio! I come from Lake Titicaca!
