Re: Sword Fighter: When to get 2ndary?

Since you only need 8 in Armors to get light armor proficiency, you could offset most of that cost by giving him one the skill books you'll find in the dungeon. Yes my plan was to give him a skill book-- and maybe that answers my question-- keep upping Sword until I find my first skill book, then a...

Sword Fighter: When to get 2ndary?

Hi, all. I have a Fighter who so far (char lvl6) has put all of his points into swords. He's a fairly agile fighter (high dex and some evasion gear), though I already have an evasion unarmed rogue next to him in the front ranks. He's Skilled, so as a human projects to have 55 skill points at Level 1...

Hidden switches: more than "loose rock"s?

Hi there. I'm fairly new to the game, on level 3 (and already planning on starting over!). I've seen several of the "loose rock" type of hidden switches in the game-- you know, the little divot in the corner of one of the cinderblocks that serves as a switch. Early on, I used to scour ever...
