keep calling modifyhp, adding 1, and it should return true if the character is nowalive!!! I'd make it a loop of 1,000 or so adds. My Rogue has over 600 HP now, and has been sent to over -150 by Stalkers more than once. And don't forget Stax' (mumble mumble ridiculous mumble) high levels. Better ma...

Ralph, Origen noticed that if you try to create a Thaumaturgist spell, it won't keep the Thaumaturge flag.

To handle unexpectedly advanced characters like Stax', you should also push the HP up to a rather large positive value. And hope that it stops at the maximum.
If there's some sample code, please post it. Killing the characters is easy. Bringing them back isn't.

Try both unstoning and unwithering them several times in the Temple.

Yes to the first 4 questions. But skills are unavailable so far. Don't know about summoning, except for reusing existing summoning spells or actions already defined. Multiple spell actions by monsters are allowed. I don't know if there's a good definition/documentation of how to specify the order/pr...

I have one test party that's all slang names for penis. When I used to play Rogue (a predecessor of NetHack and various other games), I found that if I didn't invest a lot of effort in the character's name, I got a lot further into the dungeon. Best ever was "Spud". But trying to not care ...

I propose that the encounter location and monster(s) be described in text, and the player can imagine what they look like. :wink: My third mod will feature a book of numbered paragraphs that will be chained to a Lincoln Navigator SUV, as a form of copy protection. The game will provide numbers for y...

I certainly hope it will be swell. But as for being BT-related, it's AFAIK the only 2 adventures made with the Bard's Tale Construction Set (BTCS) that were widely distributed. "The Bard's Lore" (TBL) and TBL2 have practically nothing in common, so much so that that IMHO it would destroy t...

Growler must be the sign poster-being, then.
And since the easy way out, from 1 straight down to 0, wasn't taken, I assume we'll be treated to an infinite series of fractions from now on. Threatening to stay around forever won't make us love you any less, but probably not any more than we do already.

I seem to recall being able to get to level 13 in the demo, but not being able to do Path advancement. I know that some of the stores were disabled as well. But I last played the demo when multi-celled organisms were the latest thing.

Ooops! :oops: "DevilWhiskey" as a player on KoL, not on forums.

A "Perfect Martini", now there's a good item for both DW and KoL. :D

Don't have files ready yet for anyone but people who want to read my Python script code. But I'll definitely want somebody to host stuff for download when there is something.

Growler wants to encounter the Wild Women. :wink: Actually, because I couldn't figure out a way to script buying an arbitrary item from a character, you can't sell to the shops in The Bard's Lore. The alternative would be to modify the store stock in the item list file, and re-use the stores already...
