@ Mhr'djynn: are you using the bracers of archery to get that thac0 -6 with Mazzy?

Mhr'djynn · Post by **Mhr'djynn** » Fri Jan 26, 2001 8:28 am

yep. here's what she has on:

doomplate +3
bracers of archery
helmet of defense (no thac0 bonus)
girdle of piercing
boots of grounding
ring of the ram

WOW!

That means Kangaxx can be killed by the archers, because the piercing arrows are counted as +4.

Sweet.......

No, Arrows of piercing are +2 in that respect.
Not +4

Drakron, you said that arrows of piercing are +4 to THAC0, but only count as +2 enchanted to hit?

If that is correct, then that really blows. What a way to disadvantage the archer. He/she won't even be able to hit half of the creatures unless they choose the short bow of Gesen or Tansheron's bow. Well that blows too, since I like Longbows!!!

I still think there should be +3 arrows that have a thac0 of +3 and can hit +3 monsters.

i used the short bow of Gesen to kill iron golems and the bigger one(name?) but it took me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages to kill them , but didn't cost me any damage. anyway, they are useles in the game cos often they can't come close to the characters

@ mhr'djyn-if you add the helm of balduran you get a thaco of -8...

Yes, there are no +3 arrows in the game, only the bows and the sling that does not require ammo can hit creatures that can only be hit by +3 or +4 weapons.
