Does anybody read this newsgroup who doesn't read the spoilers? Suppose a person is in a lower level dungeon, illuminates the room with a lightstick, and sees a ]. Then he quaffs a potion of sense monster. Supposing that the ] is really a Mimic (or Xeroc), what will our hardened rogue see? Let's suppose that a person suspects that a ] is a Mimic, and zaps it with a wand of cancellation. Assuming that he's right, what will happen to the Mimic? -- --Bill Buie Low Rider 3023 Au Killed by a Mimic

[You swing and miss the Bug] No! The Rogue's Vade-Mecum says you can cancel most monsters, but NOT Mimics (or Xerocs). Missiles bounce right off, too. As with the famous "Dormant Rockadillo," the only way to identify one is to pick it up and see if it bites you. -- Col. G. L. Sicherman ...seismo!rochester!rocksanne!rocksvax!sunybcs!gloria!colonel
