got grappled by a huge snake and teleported it away with my mage but i still couldn't move

Sounds like I have a bug in the grabbing code - teleport should release you.  Will fix tomorrow. Thanks!

That's the best thing about web distribution - updates are fast. Can be tough squeezing the game small enough though (it is about 5MB).

Incase people didn't realize, this is the Maker of WazHack...

Waz, the thing I forgot to mention about the Sorcerer.
The difference between a Good Challenge and a Bad Challenge when making/balancing is the RNG. If the RNG is evil, its a shitty challenge. The need of at least ONE offensive method per class is really needed, one CONSISTENT AND ALWAYS POSSIBLE method. Having 4 Pots of Healing and 3 Pots of Ink isn't going to get me past the first 30feet if the RNG sends 4 Goblins and Kobolds at my face...

It might be your skills, Neyvn. I had a book of fireball that (even after absorbing the curse out of it), took forever to finally learn after many applications of cure sickness and much waiting/fighting inbetween attempts, and I only really noticed that it was the opposite of what I had levels in afterward. >.>

And I'd have to agree on the wizard/sorcerer thing. Them surviving or not really depends on whether or not they can find a usable spell before they run out of damaging throwables or wand charges (can you recharge wands?), while the White Witch starts with Lightning (which is awesome, but has a bad tendency to kill your kitten), and if you can find a spellbook of healing/extra healing, the Sorceress's absorb curse book is more helpful than unhelpful for grabbing protection until you can actually hit something with your large stick you have no skill in.

Yeah that book I found out later was cursed... (I always have 18 Wisdom/Intel) It was odd, cause it was early and the Cat normally hisses at cursed objects, I threw it in front of him and rested next to it and he never hissed. So I didn't realize until I stumbled across a Temple which detected the evil for me...

Also, while you say the Wizard is in the bad, tbh the Wand is useful if you herd up the foes into a group then blast them all at once...

Just don't bounce the spell onto yourself like I do all the time...

Romans are evil. That is all.

"YO!!! HE OUT OF MANA AND DAMAGE WAND CHARGES SPAM OGRES, BUGBEARS AND OTHER DEADLY MOBS!!!" says the RNG....

Rng spawn 15 Zombies me KungFu magestick wielding robed mage trieng to lock emm all in place but got bitten to death

[Neyvn]

Picked up the most epic set of Gauntlets. +17 Str. That knocked my Strength up to 25 which might be max level. And then I rebound a Magic Missile into my face...

I just had a sweet run with a white witch. Got myself down to 1200, had a ton of spells, and so far the best combination of gear for a caster I have had.
-Blessed Ring of Teleport Control (really really nice for getting out of trouble or when you happen to step on those dastardly traps.)
-Blessed ring of levitation (for when things get hairy, just float above their heads and blast them, hill giants could reach me though which almost killed me :p)
-Blessed amulet of ESP (So you know what to expect.)
-Wand of Death (for those really nasty things.)
-Blessed boots of speed (Self-explanatory)

I met something nasty though, a room with a fire vortex, skeleton and illithid. The fire vortex caught my last charges of the wand of death, I levitated above pretended I was bison, flying around shooting lightning. The skeleton went down quickly but the illithid just won't die, he has so far resisted roughly 40 lightning bolts :p Soon I will run out of food and starve to death in mid air.

Things that resist magic are really deadly to me, I just don't know how to shake them as a mage-class. Any tips from anyone, besides luck in equipment? Blah, no more dying!

LOTS AND LOTS OF SPAM MAGIC, IT WILL HIT!!!!!!!!!!

Actually does, killed three of those big 'Fuckoff" things. Then died to a Bouncy Magic Missile... T_T

[Neyvn]

I.... I..... Wow... Furthest I have ever gotten...



Whats more, I FRAPS'd the whole thing, SO MANY CLOSE CALLS!!! And then I ran out of manna surrounded by Roman Archers. Not even levitating could save me...

About 1hr 15mins worth of recording, gotta work out how to edit it...

[Aklyon]

You could just post the whole thing, unless you don't have the time limit removed on youtube.
Also, hello Giant Orange Button. I'd forgotten you existed in Firefox (I kicked it out as soon as I got into FF4).

[Neyvn]

No no, Limiter removal...
Still regardless, I didn't record my voice panic'ing as I was cursed with a levitating boots and becoming Starving...

[Neyvn]

GOD DAMN IT!!!
I thought I found a loophole in wishing. Get a Wand of Wishing and then get a few scrolls of Charges.
The idea was Charge wand and repeat wishing until happy... WAND BLOWS UP WHEN CHARGED!!!!! I wasted two wishes to test this. Aww...

Man the adventures of Edna the Brilliant have gotten pretty epic now, I managed to defeat the mindflayer by slapping it with my staff and casting Restore Ability. I have now managed to get pretty damn far into the dungeon, meeting many dangerous enemies (the mindflayer has been the most annoying so far though but I noticed I could lure them into a room and lock the door, they don't seem able to break it down. The trolls on the other hand do not like being locked in as much heh.)
The most dangerous thing I encountered so far though was that apparently you can forget spells, I had been throwing away my spellbooks after I learnt the spells. Big mistake. I have managed to get back my three most important spells though (Lightning, restore ability and cone of cold.) Sadly no identify books yet on this run

Anyways I just had to brag a bit about my little witch :p

She is now wearing
-Blessed speed boots +1
-Blessed pair of hand warmers +6 (will be replaced when I find gloves of strength.)
-Blessed Cornuthaum +3 (helmet that gives me +6 INT and +1 WIS)
-Blessed cloak of magic resistance.
-Blessed Japanese Robe of ESP +3 (used the clothier to craft my amulet of ESP into my robe so I could free up the amulet slot for the most important damn thing in the game.)
-Blessed ring of levitation. (would not have gotten this far without it, by far my best item.)
-Blessed ring of teleport control. (For getting out of trouble and for neutralizing those damn traps.)
-Blessed amulet of unchanging. (This is my second most important piece... so many runs have ended for me by traps of polymorph.)
-Blessed +3 staff of light imbued with an amethyst.

Maybe this will be the character I actually manage to get to the end with, we will see, now I have jinxed it though :p

My beautiful witch.
