[net.games.rogue] survey

mah (03/12/83)

	I am an ametuer at playing rogue and decided to conduct a survey
so that it may help me concquer the Dungeons of Doom.  If you can answer
any of the following questios, please reply via electronic mail.

	1.  I have heard that the two-handed sword is the best weapon and
	    I believe it.  What I would like to know is how many hp damage
	    each weapon averages?

	2.  What is the best armor that a person could acquire (+0 armor)  
	    and what would it decrease your AC to?

	3.  What is the most useful, or best, staff?

	4.  What is the most useful, or best, ring?

	5.  What is the most useful, or best, scroll?

	6.  When starting a character, which trait (strength, hp, weapon)   
	    should be the best?  (Should the character have a high strength,
	    hp, or be carrying a good weapon?)

	As usual, I will summarize to the NET if there is enough response.


				Thank you,

P.S.  I am using Super Version Rogue 8.0.  Your answers can be based on any
      version you are using.

Does anyone have any idea of what the odds are on getting a two-handed sword
before, say, level 12? Some approximate guess on how many games you have to
play to between such weapons would be fine. My experience seems to be on the
order of once every twenty or so. (once I had a game where I collected 5
longswords and two two-handed ones!)

		Thanx in advance

p.s. I forgot to mention on the previous version of this note, that I'd
     like to see stats on only 5.2.
