[QUOTE=Achilles123;28675481]Usually resting will heal it eventually, unless the part in question is actually missing, in which case no amount of resting will regrow that part.
The key for which is h.[/QUOTE]
Thanks, this will make these dungeons alot easier. I tried again earlier and my thunder hammer didn't activate and a hedgehog killed me.
Thunder hammers :(
This has to be the best roguelike I've ever played. Nothing can compare to beating monsters with your own severed limbs.

Or attempting to kill things by drinking poisonous potions and then vomiting on them.

Thunder hammers :([/QUOTE]
Fucking hedgehogs will continually kill me even if I have iron armor. I mean, the things are like VULTURES. You'll be fighting something, or be stuck in something, or be unconscious, and they'll amble up and BITE OFF ALL YOUR LIMBS.
I swear to god I get the image of me hacking at it with my sword while it clings on to my leg with its teeth, me wildly swinging my leg to get the damn thing off.
(also, P.S. I wouldn't trust anything to do with thunder/lightning if I were you)
Wow I wish I knew about rest before, the game is a hell of alot easier now. Should have read that command list better.
I remember one time I entered a room. It was a very large room
Found a signpost at the center, and it said something like:
"You're on a dwarven minefield. Have fun!"
Blew up trying to find my way back to the door.
I have a tip for anyone stuck in a non-moving polymorph. Holding s will spam turns until you polymorph back.
This game is WAY too small on 1920x1080, is there a way to make it bigger?
Also praying to Nefas gives you a hugely powerful Mistress.
I died from starvation in the end though, the new resting made me also fucking hungry.
I have this game on my USB drive, so I can play it at school.

Also, got my legs and arms sliced off, prayed and obtained MOTHERFUCKING STEEL ARMS AND LEGS FUCK YEAH!
I once prayed to the god of fertility or something and got a right arm made of magic mushroom which was rather weak, so I had it chopped off and ate it only to have my character black out.
My name is Ivan
All my limbs are dropping off randomly, I have to find a god. Will report back :saddowns:
[editline]20th March 2011[/editline]
I got stuck in a web and the rest of my limbs dropped off, then I starved to death. Grim.
I ate zombies and kiwi. :v: Then I got killed by a hedgehog.
I got a rare staff of wondrous smells :) Too bad its not very useful.
shit automerge sorry

I just found out you can dig by applying a pickaxe against a wall. Give it a shot, use it with "find material" scrolls to find hidden items in walls.
Also DO NOT pray to Mortifer unless you are "his champion" presumably that's very far in the game. So just don't do it, he likes to fuck you up.

Frog jumped out of a fountain, killed Kenny and ripped my dick and every other limb off. Dead.

dick shaped arm.
Many dicks seem to be ripped off in this game. lol.
I found the ghost of myself,I shot it with electricity and it sent my ghost to hell but also went straight to a wall. It hit the wall and I exploded.
I'm done for tonight. Cya.
HaHA! First, I got this named mace, which was really strong, so I decided to use it, and hit a carnivorous plant.
BLAM! The thing explodes, nearly kills me, and blows a hole in the room I'm standing in. I'm both excited and kind of bummed out, as I can't see myself using this.
Then I get to the mother plant, and after initial success, am deciding to use it as a throwing weapon.
wow the fucking slime balls. I`m NEVER going to drink from a fountain of a bad god EVER.

Hey I had that thing. I lost my arm and was given a new one out of glass.

Did it break yet?

what the fuck happened?

I thought this was sort of interesting and I haven't seen it posted anywhere else yet. If you carry your severed arm or leg with you to the priest he can simply reattach it for 10 gold. If you lost it because of leprosy (or, presumably, got it hacked off while you had leprosy) reattaching the arm will cause you to contract the disease again. You can either pay the priest another 20g to cure it for you again (I think you have to cure leprosy before you can reattach the limb and then cure again because of the way its scripted) or ditch that filthy thing and just have him grow you a new one (not sure about the price difference). Also, I'm fairly certain this applies to the gods like Seges who will reattach an existing limb if you're carrying it in your inventory as well.[/quote]

You can kick open locked doors.
You guys should be using [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/ivanx/files/Win32%20binary%2C%20zipped/0.60.3/I.V.A.N.X-0.60.3.zip/download]IVANX[/url] instead. It's got more stuff, and a lot more fixed bugs.
Why have more stuff when we can't get past the underwater tunnels :v:
I got up to the big plant this time, I couldn't hit it with my fireball wand because it was packed in too tight.
[QUOTE=Framperton;28692028]what the fuck happened?[/QUOTE]
What do you mean? It exploded in my hand and took my arm. I prayed to a God and he gave me an arm out of glass.
Wild Puppys can be tamed by applying a bone to them.

There's LIVAN too. Think that adds much new shit as well.
NOOOOO I was doing so well ;-; I must have misread ring of polymorph as "polymorph control". Turned into a rabbit and got one hitted.

Roll another merge.

No, I asked if it broke yet, but for some dumb reason it included it in my quote.
IVAN thread - "OH FUCK A HEDGEHOG!!!"
Fucking kamikaze dwarves :argh:
FUCKING. KAMIKAZE. DWARVES. /c I open a door, there's a kamikaze dwarf behind it. There's a fire wand in my inventory, making the explosion even MORE deadly. I would've survived if I didnt have the damn fire wand...
