OK I never played Wizardry before but I am trying it out.

Question 1, When you die How do you come back? @ of my guys died and after 2 more hours of play the rest died and in that 2 hours I could not find out how to get rezzed?

Question 2. Backstabbing do you must be behind the mob to do this skill? Is there a hotkey?

Question 3. Casters, I dies from backfires? When lv up should I try to put my skill points into 3 types of magic only to help for not backfiring, say like put it in fire and earth and wind but don't worry about the others and focus on tham only?

Please help i just wasted like 4 hours so far dieing.

Also is this a good group

2 fighters
1 preist
1 rogue
1 Bard
1 Mage

Megid, I saw these questions on another forum where you posted them, so rather than repeating, click here to see answers to Q1 and 3.

Ya that was me, wish there was something in the book telling more about rez powders! But thanks for the tip, I think I will restart the game again, I been dumping stats into stupid stuff, I guess I will lose 5 hours gameplay no big deal.

You can get Ressurection powder VERY early on in the game. When you get to the cavern with the river and the mechanical bridge, jump in the water, kill the fish, then REALLY gently jump off the waterfall. You'll fall to a mid-level that has some res. powders.

Just make sure you've unbarred the door in the room with the King Crab so you don't have to walk the long way back.

As for spells backfiring... that happens, just don't cast anything higher than power level 1 spells for awhile. Put your points in the Schools (Wizardry, Divinity, etc) and let your Fire, earth, etc improve with spell use... they go up quicker.

I'd also opt for a Bishop to cover both your priest and mage... maybe put a gadgeteer in there.
