As it happens, monster ranged attacks never target the pet, even if the monster is in melee with the pet at the time. They always target the player.
It's a reference to, IIRC, Last Crusade; one of the characters is an especially bookish fellow who once got lost in his own museum.
I'm increasingly of the opinion that Mathemagics and Psionics is all you need to win. I'm tempted to to make a dual-shields...
Currently, buffs can either go away over time, after taking a certain number of hits, or after giving a certain number of hits. Debuffs all just...
Taking a look at, say, the Necronomiconomics pages for the first two wikis: dredmorwiki wikia The first one is much more useful, because it...
@Marak: Man, you'd have hated 1.0.3, where any melee class that didn't have enough ranks in warrior to start with the leather cuirass was...
Also, procs on crossbows don't work in 1.0.5, but they will trigger when you're in melee.
You're looking at the ultimate gear that each skillset can provide. I'm looking at generic utility items, which I think are more valuable since...
Alchemy is the most versatile of the crafting skills, no question. Everyone can use more potions, and the most useful ones tend to be easy to make...
You can tinker bolts at 0 tinkering; you just get fewer crappy bolts. :)
Let's say you have a more or less unlimited supply of potential equipment items that you don't really care about. Most characters don't have two...

Thing is, if you're going to go pact, why bother with vampirism? Is the passive +3 leech worth devoting an entire skillslot to it? Not to mention...
I don't think of Vampirism as a way to heal, but rather a way to extend your combat endurance by effectively having you take less damage each turn...
The tier-2 skill from Vampirism doesn't scale at all. It can be a lifesaver on dungeon level 1, but by dungeon level 5 you might find yourself...
A few notes on your suggestions: * The sagacity points you get from boosting alchemy are to make up for the fact that you otherwise get rogue...
Psionics goes well with anything. Here's what you get with it: * A spell from level 1 that is arguably good enough to carry you through to level...
It's in another container type. There's a bug that moves stuff around in the various containers. You can even end up with other items than...
I'm pretty sure you're just seeing patterns that aren't there. The human brain is very good at that.
Dredmor should surprise you. If you want to wipe out the rest of the floor before dealing with him, you'll have to figure out a way to contain...
