[net.games.rogue] magic missles?

hansen (06/19/82)

How do magic missle staffs work? They don't seem to be very potent; the ones
I've gotten have typically taken two missiles to kill a jackal? Or has that
just been my bad luck? Are they ALL that bad?

Also, are staffs of cold impotent against yetis? They seem to miss or have
no effect all the time.

Also, how do rings of searching work? Is there a minimum number of times
that you have to be next to a trap before it discloses itself? Does the ring
just amplify the effect of the find and search commands? Or what?

A ring of searching SOMETIMES tells you things without you having to search,
and increases the proabability of finding something if you do search, so you
don't have to type 's' as often.
Also, all rings, except slow digestion, increase food consumption.
