I've been trying not to read the Best Tips, so I've probably missed references to this in there.
I do have sufficient Moon magic - one of the few tips that I've read emphasised it ... which is why I'm kicking myself for not making a portal before jumping in.
The reference to putting the smallest character at the front ... I take it that this is back in the Inn, correct? I take it that it's not something I can do while I'm drowning.
(Yes, I had killed the slimes, and yes, I'm running XP.)

One tip I could use ... given these annoyances - why do you play W&W, rather than moving to a different RPG? There's no sarcasm there - I'm honestly interested - I might be missing something, or maybe I haven't reached the best parts yet...

You don't have to move your smallest character to the tope of the character screen. All you have to do is have him selected, i.e. his portrait should be displayed in the top left corner. That's all. [img]smile.gif[/img] Just click on him once and he'll be selected AND the lead character.

As to why we're still playing W&W I can only answer for myself. I have never encountered another RPG that is so flexible like W&W. If I totally mess up one character at the beginning he might be the best character I've got after a dungeon or two. The game play is excellent. Say you have completed the crypt once, then you can complete it in an entirely different way the next. That's the beauty of W&W, it doesn't need the be the most modern game at the moment, the game play and the game itself still holds the highest quality. But I do play some newer RPGs as well, like Arx Fatalis.
