Has anyone else noticed that if you find good armor (AC 2 or 3) or a 2-handed sword on level 1, then you will not get more than 1 or 2 hit points as you advance in experience levels? I doubt this could be intentional, I assume the "random" number generator is just such that the two conditions are likely to occur together... Rich Getlak (using 3.9)

Could be, but ... A while back I had a game in which I found a large number of items but got small increases in maximum hit points. I formed the hypothesis that the second depended on the first and rapidly convinced myself that past experience supported this hypothesis conclusively. So I started keeping more careful records and found no correlation. Most of the speculation and much of the fact about rogue reported in this news group is (in my humble opinion) fantasy. I guess rogue brings out the least professional in us. (not surprising: it is a game) Sometimes I wonder why I waste my time playing rogue. I guess I must hate myself ... oh well, time to start another game ... I bet I will have more luck this time ...
