What does the 96 in "Str 18/96" mean on the hack status line?
What is a "flail"? I have one. What do I do with it? What is it?
Thanks,
gab

That sounds like AD&D to me. In Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, which Rogue and Hack are based upon, statistics are Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma. They all run from 3 to 18. However, if you are a fighter (in AD&D, I don't play hack until I can get it to compile here), then you can have exceptional strength, which is from 1 to 100, or, as the percentile dice are 0 to 9, 01 to 00. 18/00 is the highest possible strength in AD&D without magical enhancement (like girdles of giant strength). I suggest drinking many potions of gain strength to go up to exceptional strength (it does that in rogue 3.6.1) if you don't start out that way. I think a flail is a nasty weapon that you flail around and hurt people with, don't have the PHB within reach here. Try looking in the Player's Handbook from TSR. Carl Greenberg AD&D Player
