[net.games.hack] immunity from xans

ronald@hcrvax.UUCP (Ron Williams) (08/15/85)

There is (sort of) a way to get immunity from xans.
They only reduce your carrying capacity a bit, so just use up a few
unneccessary items (scrolls of genocide, wands of wishing, eggs) and
proceed on your way without worrying.  You lose carrying points for
each leg that is pricked, but you only have two legs to prick, so
don't waste so much effort trying to avoid those wimpy little xans.

There are 3 ways to repair your legs

	1)	Wait 50 turns they heal

	2)	Quaff a potion of speed

	3)	Eat Royal Jelly

Letting xans sit there and prick you makes the time you wait longer
