Those are sweet pics! Things were moving pretty quick in there and I didn't really get a good look at much.

After reading one of the replies about my misadventures on level 8 and the AB of weapons I started trying to focus on that. In these shots I am dual weilding my Drow Icy Burst +8 longswords which only have an AB of +4 (I was bummed lol) yet I am able to do some hefty damage (62 - 42 physical / 20 cold in the 2nd shot). Conversely, when I use my +8 bone mace the damage I can inflict is a lot less, often in the teens or mid to low 20's. The AB for the bone mace is +7. If I recall properly on my feats, I am only one "feat" ahead with longswords compared to maces. Does the AB only go toward "hitting" the enemy? Or does it also factor in with the damage? I think my AB is +38/+33/+28/+23 (whatever that means lol) when using my Icy Burst longsword and goes up a bit with the Bone Mace.

Either way when I can hit I am successful, when I can't hit things go woefully wrong. For example, last night I tried going through more of Muriel's Gauntlet and was doing quite well until running into the Lich Lord. I basically kept my mouse in the area of the screen where "respawn" shows up. lol I eventually hightailed it out of there and received a bit of help (I forgot to jot down the name, it was Hubert or Herbert - sorry).

Anyway, if things work out time wise tonight I am gonna try and make my way down to level 7 and maybe 8 again tonight.
