No strength gains?
« on: April 30, 2008, 02:51:00 pm »

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or some aspect of the game I'm unaware of, but I can't seem to get strength beyond "Strong" for my dwarven adventurer.

At this point he's perfectly agile, superdwarvenly tough, and is a legendary wrestler, adept speardwarf, great shield user, master armor user, legendary ambusher, professional thrower, skilled axedwarf, competant bowdwarf, and swordsdwarf.

Still just "strong", and I've been wrestling a skeletal sasquatch for probably about a day.

Ok, well, right after I posted the thread, I went up a few more legendary levels, and now he's "Very Strong"

Oops.

Still kind of odd it took so long.

It's not odd, it's just random. You gain +1 randomly in strength/agility/toughness during periods of your practice.

Random numbers are like that.

If you never saw totally bizarre behavior, and things never ever got that far out of whack, it wouldn't *really* be random!

Oh, it still might be random, but the odds that it is become diminishingly small.

It isn't really random, technically.     :)

Fun fact:  Typos in your UBB code look worse than ordinary typos.
