but you can always activate Intercept yourself as a spendable skill by using the A key right? if i'm not mistaken within the 10 turns or 5 upcoming attacks will be a 100% chance.

Would anyone like to share strategies or builds for agility/short blade/pistol focused characters?

[Strange guy]

Making high focused mental mutants may be fun, but I ended up getting one hit by a hermits high explosive grenade at level 9. Admittedly I only had 12 toughness (13 with the level 6 bonus) and I think it ignores armour, but it's still annoying. 12 toughness isn't as low as possible and my armour was decent, so I don't think I should have to worry about being one shotted.

I guess I'll probably try another build now.

I don't exactly enjoy Melee focused characters, but since it's the only build you have any reasonable chance of surviving with, I've had a lot of luck with an agility-focused one like that.

True Man: S-16 A-22 T-18 I-18 W-16 E-18, "Fuming God-Child" caste (with +4 W) - This will start you off with an obsidian kris (and a really good cudgel), Intimidate, Meditation, and Fasting to boot.  Use hit-and-run tactics, of scaring enemies away while shooting them, and/or running away to rapid-recharge then taking them on again.  Load up on all your Dodging-type skills and the weird Pistol tricks.  I prefer to using Long Blade myself for the stances, but Short Blade should work equally well.

One of the likely-underused perks of Fuming God-Child is that the Conch of the Aji can produce a cloud of paralytic gas, which I imagine would be quite useful as long as you aren't fighting robots.

[Aqizzar]

There's also that, but be careful not to get caught in it.  I've wondered though, is there a limit to number of times you can blow in it?  I've never done it more than once, and I have a bit of foolish pride against relying on starting-equipment.

So I check Argyve's recipe list as an Artifex to see what he has.

First four are antimatter cell, freeze ray, Hand-E-Nuke, and HE Missile.

Now I just need some cash to afford all that.

[Mephansteras]

Had a great character die yesterday. Mutant with Extra Arms and legs and freezing hands, ended up going Guns. Lucked out and found a Combat Shotgun data disk. I really enjoy that gun, especially for cave delving. Later on I picked up a Carbine, which is my new favorite gun. Carbine with Suppressive Fire is awesome for dealing with the various robots.

Now only if that damn aglofly hadn't sniped me I might have gotten out of Golgotha.

[Angel Of Death]

Does the registered version have any difference to the unregistered one?

[Toaster]

It has a large amount of dev happiness and double the warm-fuzzies.  [No, but it's cool to do if you like the game!]

[ThtblovesDF]

On the point of grammer: as a none-natural english speaker, his mistakes are quite ... ignorable and i sure as hell did and still do them as well.

You code a awesome game like this and you may complain about grammar : )

[Toaster]

Anyone know what a "gaslight flyssa" is?  A flyssa is a sword, but what's a gaslight one?

Sounds like a sword that can be set on fire, to me.

[Ahra]

umm got an nullray pistol on the way to redrock, what does it do?

[Dr. Johbson]

I saw a data disk for one, I almost bought it, I believe its a ray of nullification, AKA, disintegration. Just guessing, though.
