|
NOTE: This is when being raised from level 0 to level 1!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The size of the <ABIL> dice, is determined by rolling 4 1d6 dice,
|
||
|
|
and adding the sum of the three largest dice.
|
||
|

The <ABIL> is sorted and assigned a <PC> in descending order,

============================= MONSTER LOOKUP ==============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is general guidelines for creating monsters. This is when creating
|
||
|
|
"S"impel monsters. Detailed monsters require a great deal of care when
|
||
|
|
designing, and it is not really worth it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The idea is that a X level fighter is equal to about a X level monster!
|
||
|
|
This implies that the <THAC0> ought to decrease by one every level
|
||
|
|
(starting at '20' on level 1 - minimum is '1' from level 20+). The damage
|
||
|
|
given by a monster is also important - average weapon damage is at the
|
||
|
|
moment 1d8.

MAGICAL ITEMS:
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In DikuMud it is possible to create all kinds of Magic items - but to avoid
|
||
|
|
chaos (having 1st levels kill 20 level dragons) these rules for Magic must
|
||
|
|
be obeyed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is possible to create almost any item. Items can (example) change the
|
||
|
|
<STR>, <DEX>, <WIS>, <INT>, <CON>, <HP>, Age, Weight, Height, XP,
|
||
|
|
etc. None of these changes are directly permanent in effetct, but may be
|
||
|
|
so indirectly - example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Iggy found a helmet of Increase Wisdom/Intelligence (some + modifier).
|
||
|
|
When Iggy wears this helmet - these abilities improve, when he removes
|
||
|
|
the helmet they return to their original state. Thus no direct change
|
||
|
|
has happened. BUT if Iggy practices spells (upon which INT and WIS
|
||
|
|
determines the rate & success) he will learn them much faster than
|
||
|
|
normal. This was an example of an indirect change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Good ideas when making Magic Items:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NEVER use large modifiers, exceptional items should modify at most by +3.
|
||
|
|
This includes, swords, armours, ability changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Impose a penalty on the Item - for example make a helmet of wisdom may
|
||
|
|
at the same time reduce the constitution. Or maybe a ring of masochism -
|
||
|
|
when you wear it your MAX-HITPOINT increase by +200, when you remove it
|
||
|
|
they disappear again. The ring likes to remove itself from the finger.

Notes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<THAC0> this is the number needed to roll on a 20-sided dice to hit
|
||
|
|
opponent <AC> equivalent of zero. A 20 is always considered
|
||
|
|
a hit, a 1 is always a miss. Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your <THAC0> is 14 (ei. level 7 fighter). You are fighting
|
||
|
|
an opponent with <AC> '3'. Thus to hit <AC> 0 you must
|
||
|
|
roll a 14 or greater. To hit <AC> 3 you must then roll
|
||
|
|
11 (14-3) or greater. If you had to hit <AC> '-3' you
|
||
|
|
would have to roll 17 (14-(-3)) or greater on a 20 sided
|
||
|
|
dice.
