Sig images should be not larger than 225x155 pixels, and no more than 150Kb in size - it's all explained in the Rules and Regulations.

It kinda sucks, but crank up the music (you don't actually listen to the W&W music, do you?) and have a click fest ...

It's fun, in its way: What skills want to go from 1 to 14? One Oakenmir kill is usually enough for Sorcery, Prowess, and Gallantry to max out ...

Killing oakenmir takes a lot of challenge out of the game. That tremendous amount of levelling up is just obscene (and boring!), and for a sufficiently advanced character, could be game-fatal -- once you start advancing levels, you can't stop. And at each level, you have to apply all your skill points. If you max out all your skills, you'll get stuck, unable to move forward. Crashing the game will be your only option

That said, I admit I did it once. Made my unbeatable assassin more unbeatable...

Yup, made that mistake in my first game; haven't made it since

Just make sure before you go to brutally murder the loveable old guy that you've got at least one skill less than Lvl 4 or 5 to dump the skill points into.

Hence Radek's freaky quest to max his dude's level by keeping his INT super low, so he's only got to dump a single skill point at each level ...

Oh well, I know it's evil completely but those 10M of EXP are toooo tempting! As far as regular killing of Oakenmir is considered, I think that not everybody knows how to kill him without being killed first [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I've never actually tried to kill Oakenmir. I always take a "role playing" path through the game, and my role is usually just a wee bit too benevolent to actually whack him. But all this talk is giving me a really itchy trigger finger (or sword wrist?) !

...don't worry, the sword only hews wood. Perhaps I should get an axe?
