41. Even good biomes have alligators in them
42. Especially in rivers with no ramps that stun you when you jump in them
43. Fighting alligators whilst stunned is a loosing proposition

Dwarven Safety is kind of like a gun in a kindergarten. every single toddler wants to play with it and they will put elaborate plans in motion to get their hands on it. A hundred tiny hands grasping for death and crawling all over you begging for it.

44. Don't start sneaking on detected traps, it sets them off.

45. Become a vampire before visiting a necromancer tower so they'll all be friendly to you. Then walk in like you own the place.
46. If your quest target is a vampire axelord, stay the hell away from them.
47. If your quest target is in a sewer, don't even bother looking for them; they don't exist in the physical sense.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

48. don't wake mummies if you value your adventurer, curses are really !FUN!.
49. werebeasts are naked unskilled peasants most of the time.
50. fast traveling without decent observer skill is one of the fastest ways to have !FUN!.
51. bandits are very capable of killing an adventurer now, and usually more dangerous than night creatures.

i actually have found several adventurer targets in sewers but its a huge hassle.

Really? I literally search the entirety of the sewers in a city and never find a soul.

52. Bandits aren't just tougher than you; they're the most skilled fighters in the entire world; better than any infantryman you might hire as a companion.

53. Unicorns won't lie down and let you kill them
54. Fighting swimming hippos is one of the dumbest things you could do, if you're unskilled.
55. Vampires are dumb. When revealed as such, they proudly yell out that they are, in fact, a vampire, and then get swamped by hundreds of angry peasants.

56. Zombies don't need to be killed by decapitation
57. Dwarves and Elves can't wear human armor
58. Even the most Bad-Ass adventurer can die from old age
59. While flimsy, a mountain-titan made of snow can still rip you in two

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.

60. Nerve damage is gamebreaking, on either side of the fight.
61. Surrounding yourself with campfires SOUNDS like a great idea... But its like communism. Good on paper, poor in execution.
62. You can't outrun the elves.
63. Huskification, as awesome as it sounds, is a one in one hundred chance. You're more likely to bleed violently from every cell in your body and die ignomiously.
64. When in doubt, run like a bitch.
65. Stab, run away, stab again. Its called pragmatism. It is now your best friend.

61. Seriously, fuck ranged weapons. Just get behind a tree and play sound prisons if you see a bandit holding a bow or a crossbow. You should be throwing or shooting right up until you get into range to stab or bash.

63. If you betray your companion they become gods of fury.

64. Walking in on night troll families is a bad idea without a helmet.
65. Even if you wereify yourself, you can still die from getting flash-frozen in a pond.
66. Beware towns bordering evil regions. All those bodies in the sewers will not enjoy you encroaching on thier battlegrounds.
67. Fighting night creatures unarmored as an elf is a stupid idea. Always.
68. Playing as an elf in adventure mode is a stupid idea. The vast majority of the time.
