Two small ones

#1 Post by Frumple »

Firstly, for elite and unique critters, something to easily distinguish them from other creatures; I'd probably recommend a simple colored box around the character or something. It's a nasty thing to not know that new letter isn't just some random critter from a distance. Looking at anything new works fine, o'course, but that's extra effort ^^

Second, consider implementing exit stairs at the bottom of all the dungeons. The Maze had one, but I didn't notice one in Amon Sul or the Trollshaws, and it'd be terribly helpful to not have to truck all the way back up. Possibly make boss-death create the stairs where they die?

We had this discussion at the start of this, and the consensus was that most starter dungeons have around 5 levels and are not worth having Recall scrolls or stairs because they are so shallow.

Once deeper dungeons are created, I would expect back stairs and recall spells to be available.

Recall will probably never exist.
The deeper dungeons I planned are no more than 9 levels deep, like tol falas
