What were your attributes and skills? It's also randomish so that could explain it too.

[piecewise]

My observation was just dabbling. Maybe it's because I have like 15 other people with me.


My adventurer is doing pretty well I think. He was injured early on and lost the ability to grasp with one hand (though he can still use a sword and shield oddly) but has so far killed minotaurs, dragons, hydras, titans, night beasts and their consorts  etc. Right now I just keep getting ambushed by kobolds all the time, but I am considered a legendary hero by most human civs.

Don't get me wrong... I love the boogeymen.  I've been hoping for something crazy like this (randomized monsters) for years, since I first started playing this.  But couldn't they be toned down just a little?  Does the entire planet have to be like that film _Pitch Black_ at night time, and being outside at night a death sentence?  I'm assuming this is just in now for flavor and will be tweaked in the future...

[Sowelu]

Dude, Pitch Black was awesome.  Some regions or some worlds should totally always be like this all the time.

...But yeah, in normal/good calm areas, it's a little much.

I don't know what you're talking about. I've played weeks without seeing one, sleeping a few times in the forest and travelling by night without meeting any boogiemen.

Same here. I've never ran into one even when I sleep in the forest and travel at night. I always have a huge band of people with me though, so maybe thats why.

[tfaal]

Yeah, they generally only attack lone travelers.

[James.Denholm]

As I just found out. The imagery of a lone adventurer, unable to breathe or stand, desperatley pulling himself away from a group of bogeymen with his smashed hand, is somewhat unbearable awesome.

And I would have been fine, had I not dropped my axe.

[Misterstone]

I guess Boogeymen only go after lone adventurers, not parties then.

Man, after a while those goblins practically send armies after you. I'd say over half of my companions have titles and a good dozen or more kills. Everyone is all awe struck whenever I show up and I tote around something like 20 people. Right now I'm down to 10 thanks to 3 heavily armed goblin patrols and a hydra.

The adventurer is basically like a Joan of Arc, a hero who rises out of nowhere and begins leading armies against the enemy.

[LoSboccacc]

is the combat screen showing the attack modifier before the actual skill roll, or is it showing the actual shoot difficulty/damage?

because I had some opportunity strikes missing, some very squarely attack dealing no damage and such.

also, that would explain why a 'normal' hit chance is normal for every attack from slashing to bashing with shield to kicking

[Captain Mayday]

Toady, can you please elaborate on the following?
      HABIT:<habit token>:<percentage> - Obviously there are GRIND_BONE_MEAL, EAT_BONE_PORRIDGE, and USE_ANY_MELEE_WEAPON, and I assume the percentage is the likelihood of this being the case. Are there any other habit tokens I haven't listed?
      HABIT_NUM:<TEST_ALL or a number> - At a guess I'd say TEST_ALL allows for all habits listed to have a chance at being added, while a number would limit it to a specific number of them being applied to a given creature.
      NIGHT_CREATURE_BOGEYMAN & NIGHT_CREATURE_HUNTER - what are the effects of these, please?

[iceball3]

Goddammit, the bogeymen are god damned untouchable, the freaking asses.
Seriously, how the heck is their evasion so high?

[Moddan]

I got a question regarding the combination of wrestling and aimed attacks in the new release. Does anyone know if it is planned or already implemented that successfully grabbing a body part increases the chance to hit the same part while it is held? So for example I could grap the head of my opponent with my free hand and then have it easier to stab the head or adjacent body parts (throat) with my short sword in the following round.
