Am I a total idiot?

If you haven't noticed this yet, monsters can't open doors. This means that in places like Arnika, if you close yourself into a room or building (i.e. go inside and close the door behind you), that you can rest over and over without being attacked.

Every once in a great while they will, at least in some locations. I was running around the Rattkin tree with my "no magic" party a few weeks back, and had just finished an extended round-and-round with a few thousand wasps (OK, maybe not quite that many, but it sure seemed like it). So I went into one of the houses and shut the door behind me. Nice and safe, snooze time. Clang! The door opened and 6 Rattkin Eliminators were standing right in my face! Boy was I surprised--and not in a good way. That's the only time I remember this happening in the more-than-two-dozen parties I've taken that far. No idea if there are particular houses that are considered part of the patrol route or what, but they sure caught me out on that one.

ChaosTheorist,

I was always suprised that this never happened to me, but I've played 8 parties to completion and never seen this. The most suprising was a scenario in which I camped next to a window in Arnika while the Higardi bandits stomped around on the other side of the window looking annoyed. I figured that they might try the door, but they never did.

I was attacked once while camping in Braffit's temple, so I don't camp there anymore.

I've been hit in Braffit's temple and after fighting the breeders in the breeder room. I tested this out (I happened to be there getting the "thing" from the don) and no house is safe in the ratkin branches after you kill the breeders from any of the ratkin, they sniff you out and the doors open.

Listen to me! These guys don't know anything and they're just trying to confuse you!

Ha, Ha, just a little tease there, (Variol is a halfling you know).

Ragash, you wild and crazy frustrated dude; I started this game over more times than I care to count. Why, you ask; 'cos finishing the game is the least of my concerns. I try different parties, some I like, some I don't.
Right now I have an all female party of 4 Valkerie Dwarfs, 1 Hobbit Ranger (I can't believe they actually used the word "Hobbit", huh) and 1 Hobbit Rogue. I'm having quite a lot of fun so far and I'm only at Lvl:7.
The combinations are scarry to think about and that's the real joy of this game for me.
So don't get down, just mess around with parties and see how they feel for you.

P.S. I love the M&M series myself, but having played this a lot lately I'd be hard pressed to pick a fav. now.

P.P.S Just check all my posts to see how much these guys (and gals?) have helped me with the same sort of stuff.
