Hi all,
Our tests proved that Simulacrum spell is almost as cheesy as PI and must be replaced with a new spell. Of course, it's not as bad as Project Image, but it's still too cheesy. You can use items (Rod of Resurrection, scrolls, etc...) in the clone's quick slots without consuming the items' charges. Hence, for example, you can have infinite healing with the rod. So, please give us your votes and comments about what kind of new spell you prefer to see. Cheers This post has been edited by Sikret: Aug 13 2007, 07:59 AM -------------------- Improved Anvil
 Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating. |

If you go with the summoning idea, I'd like a gated Mord's sword, which has a bit better THACO than the normal sword (and/or more HP). I would consider that to be a very useful summons. (Of course, I will hate that summoning spell when the enemy magician horde starts spamming them on me.
 So, I still prefer the improved Tensers.)Planetars get munched on in Improved Anvil. I like them as much for their spells as for cannon fodder. |

QUOTE(rbeverjr @ Aug 15 2007, 02:32 PM)  Planetars get munched on in Improved Anvil. I like them as much for their spells as for cannon fodder. This is largely true but it certain situations they are still useful IMO - especially if you buff them properly with Improved Haste, Improved Invisibility and Protection from Magic Energy. With the I. Haste they get 7 apr with THAC0 -8. This combined with their immunity to +2 or lower weapons makes them useful sometimes, as I said. There is at least one tough IA creature which you meet right up to the end of the game which only has a +2 weapon. |

This is largely true but it certain situations they are still useful IMO I agree that Planetars are useful. I just don't depend on them to actually kill very many of Sikret's creations. If they actually kill something, that's a pleasant surprise for me. Planetars are useful in other ways - distractions, spell casting, occasionally damaging foes, etc.
