The staff of striking works well when wielded. Once wielded, it must
be zapped to charge it up. It really strikes critters. Trolls have
fallen after two swings. However, the length of the zap is not very
long.

In our version, "rogue version 4.22. (mctesq was here)", a ring of
teleportation is free, i.e. it doesn't use any extra food. I have often
used one to my advantage in what would otherwise be a lost game (even without
using remove curse). It's a slow approach, but you've got to use what you can.
If you can manage to get into wizard mode you can find out exactly how
much extra food a ring requires. A ring of slow digestion cuts your
need for food in half, with two of them you can go through a game w/o
ever eating!!

[ rogue weapon values - - - ] In response to your request for weapon information, I was able to get ahold of the following, These are the values for the weapons on the version of rogue I play. I dont know how they compare with other people's versions. Each is the value for a wielded weapon. arrow 1d1 bardiche 3d4 bastard sword 2d8 battle axe 1d8 crossbow 1d1 crossbow bolt 1d2 dagger 1d6 dart 1d1 halberd 2d6 long sword 1d12 mace 2d4 pike 1d12 rock 1d2 short bow 1d1 sling 0d0 spear 1d6 spetum 2d6 trident 3d4 two-handed sword 3d6 The value for rock is if you are wielding a sling, The value for arrow is if you are wielding a bow, The value for crossbow bolt is if you are wielding a crossbow. The notations XdY means X die Y where you have X dice, each Y sided. Therefore a 3d4 (trident) means you have 3 dice, each one 4 sided, you can roll anything from a 3 (all balls) to a 12 (all 4's). There are other attributes to take into account on weapons (besides the values above). Such as weight, price, etc, etc. If a weapon has two numbers in front of it, like a "+3 +4 mace", that means that +3 is added to your chances of hitting a monster when you attack, and that +4 is added into the number of HP damage you inflict on the monster. (Other things are taken into account when you attack a monster, such as strength, etc). Please comment as to whether these are right or not if you know (or think) otherwise. - - Is my intrepretation of the X die Y principle right? If you find this information useful, please return the favor and post some hints, tidbits, etc, which you've found useful, I still dont know how to handle Giant Ants. ihnp4!labsms!lmm

The only ways I have found to deal with Giant Ants are: 1) Find a ring of "maintain strength" 2) Kill all of them with the "Great Boon of Genicide" scroll (by the way, what do other people use this for?) 3) Run away...very, very fast The Wumpus allegra!rochester!ur-tut!aptr
