I have noticed that standing in doorways reduces ones chances of
hitting an opponent in 5.3. Is that my imagination or is it a
"feature" of the game?

Seems to me that I hit about the same percentage of the time
in doorways as anywhere else...

As a matter of fact, yes it is. In fact this `feature' dates back to I believe version 3.6. Fortunately, it also works in reverse. If you take a step backwards, so that the monster is in the doorway, *you* have the advantage and can often beat the pulp out of the nasty. David C Miller ...scgvaxd!wlbr!dcm

Rather than drop my precious scare monster then, I decided to use the old run and regenerate formula. My path led me to a room, but when I stepped into the doorway, I found a venus flytrap standing right in front of me. Deciding that it was a good time to drop my scare monster scroll, I was shocked to find that there was "already something there". I lasted a few turns longer. I feel the proverbial AAAAAARRRRRGH! applies. Ken Kaufman (uiucdcs!kaufman) "I thought you said your dog didn't bite." "That's not my dog."
