That's why I gen worlds without bogeymen: too cheap.

[brainfreez]

bogeymen add difficult to the game , without them the game is cheap .

[Un67]

No, bogeymen simply add tedium. They are rather trivially dealt with by simply having followers or sleeping somewhere safe for the night (remember this includes beaches) and only become an issue when your followers die and you happen to be far away for a safe place to rest for the night. Personally I feel followers are boring to have around and they are really annoying because they make crossing rivers much harder than it needs to be because they can't really swim. Finally, they really aren't any fun to fight. They aren't particularly tough or anything and depend entirely on surrounding you and getting one lucky lethal shot through (ok, that goes for a lot of enemies, but still).

I've never had companions, and I walked across the entire world without hunkering down. I only met two groups of Boogymen.

Bogeymen aren't really all that hard, unless it's a starting adventurer. Even then, if you encounter them it's just a case of them following you single file, falling over each other to get to you. They'll teleport every so often, but then you just start running in another direction. I think you charge every time you move into a standing bogeyman, so that should give you a couple of turns of movement toward the nearest shelter.

You're best bet is to have good defensive skills and a at least one good weapon skill. They're slippery buggers, but if they don't get a hit on you, you can run around until dawn.

A couple of points in Observer, and ambushes become a rarity.

If you're being picked on by one particular bunch of bandits, level up your sneaking, find their camp and strangle them all.

Shame they don't exist in DF.

[pisskop]

1:) Get two to three companions.
2:) Get ambushed.
3:) Run behind tree/ramp
4:) Sneak away.  After you watch your friends die, of course.

Best part is the bandits typically tell you who they are.

And it wouldn't be complete without Pillow Men.

The spinning pillow hits the Pillow Man in the upper body, bruising the luxurious goose-down stuffing.

[pisskop]

"You charge the pillowman!  The pillowman looks astounded by the ferocity of the attack!  You hit the pillowman in the upper body, and both tangle and fall over!

You enjoy a restful night sleep spooning the pillowman!"
