290d. You can't cut off the upper body, but cutting off the lower body should work. If you're massive enough and carrying a big enough stick to actually accomplish such a feat.

291. Beware of bandits with autobiographies on them.

292:  Read every combat log, no matter how tedious it is(say due to number of combatants).

293:  Platemail can be redundent or too cumbersume.

294:  Bandits patrol around their camp, and will ambush you.

295:  Always bring 2-3 companions into the sewers with you.

edit:

296:  Quivers are a naked man's backpack.

297: Always throw anything in your inventory that on fire. ALWAYS.

The amount of malice in this thread is actually causing me some concern. I mean, chaining up mothers and forcing them to breed, just so we can drown their children to harvest their organs? Does this strike no one else as absolutely horrific?
You misspelled 'hilarious'

297: Always throw anything in your inventory that on fire. ALWAYS.
297b. it is quite common that when struck by a fireball, only an article of clothing was set on fire, and you can throw it off and be fine.
297c. Due to interference from Murphy's Law, you will never survive a successful strike from a fireball. The measure of success is not affected by whether or not you're carrying a shield and are a elgendary shield user. Fireballs just can't be blocked, as the case may be.

299. This thread is getting long

300. It is, in fact, entirely possible to put yourself out by jumping in a sufficient body of water, like a pond. This won't necessarily stop the bleeding, however.

301. dragonfire or firejets, unlike fireballs, will completely scorch anything they hit, immediately doing severe, unrecoverable damage to tissue and leading to bleeding to death.
301b. Dragonfire and firejets can very easily be blocked with a shield. However, as you may haev read previosuly, they can increase the ambient temperature of a location to the point that it doesn't matter: just standing in a room will result in you becoming an ‼XXAdventurerXX‼
301c. The change in ambient temperature is most notable in enclosed spaces. Dragon lairs usually contain flammable loot that will further hinder your progress.

302. Time to change the thread title again!

When entering a river, Jesus, don't go to the ramp downward, instead move to the _river_. Else your stupid dwarf will perform a vertical 180 and crack his neck open over a five foot drop.

308b. You may hit someone in town if it's your retired adventurer and you want to blind him for Fun when playing him


(quite a weird sensation playing a blind adventurer, I also bit his ears off, I wonder how he managed to speak with people).

309.  Don't do this:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yes, that is an adventurer trapped and immobilized by his own campfires.

310. Caves are not small. If you explore one you will starve to death or be killed be a FB. It doesn't matter how strong you are, your food will run out you will not find the exit. You have been warned.

311: A lower center of gravity does not mean you can mosh your way through slightly bigger things... despite increased proportionate strength.

312. Just... don't even try to attack bandits before you have some decent armor. There is ALWAYS atleast one elite bowman with the bandits.





(also I am offended by the duck comment! I am not a duck! I weigh atleast 1, maybe 2 more pounds!)
