I would like to stop using Bloodlust with my fighter, but infortunately something weird has happened with him. When I give him another sword, he only gets one attack per round and one swing. With Bloodlust he gets 2-3 attackers per round with 2-4 swings per attack.

I know that he will get LESS attacks without Bloodlust since its initiative is so high, but he should be getting more than one. He even got more than one back when he was level 5 or 6 and I hand't even gotten Bloodlust.

Anyway, I know how to play with strategy, I too have been playing since the old days. I still have my handmade maps on graph paper from Wiz I.

However, unless your skills were massively higher than mine, luck has everything to do with the fact that your spells actually functioned on Nessie. That one silence I got on her was the only non-damage spell that she did not totally resist during my 8 tries to beat her. Damage spells actually worked about 50% of the time, but she would only take 1-8 points from it, which was hardly helping. I was casting all spells at the highest level I could.

I haven't had any trouble with any other parts of the game thus far. The rinjynn (SP?) were pretty tough, but I still made it through there on my first try with just having to ressurect one character once.

Now, I don't spend any time just sitting around casting for no reason to increase my skills like some people do, but I still can't see my skills being THAT much lower than others of a comparable level to make nessie able to resist them so much better. My alchemist had about 20 powercast skill at the time I think (can't really remember).

So anyway, what were you doing so much damage with that you were able to average over 200Hps a round to her?? My spells that she didn't manage to resist outright were only doing about 2-10hps at their max level I could cast and my fighter, when he was able to do damage, would get about 50hps worth each round. With my other guys all added up, I was doing about 100-120 per round if everybody hit and penetrated, and that was with her held/sleeping. Without sleep, take 50hps off since my fighter for some reason did NONE every hit.

Very strange. Are nessie's stats randomized at all?? Mabye I just got a tougher spawn of her than normal or something....???/
